Divine Comedy by Dante is considered to be
the greatest ever written poetic work in the history of the Western Civilization.
It is a poem of a human courage and dream of the "more perfect" Future that
is directly related to an idea of everlasting peace, prosperity, and joy of
the Golden Age of the Mankind.
When Sean Penn compares the current situation in Iraq with Dante's Inferno,
he automatically turnes "useful" Dante's poetry against himself.
As a true masterpiece, Dante's Inferno opens a prospective for
a better life for the Mankind.
In contrast, total terrorist warfare has only prospective of
a total annihilation of the Mankind.

vanishing Dante's Divine Comedy? They almost certainly do not.
What about you, Mr. Sean Penn?
