>>Did he hope to bridge the gap between American perceptions of Iraq and the reality?<< Perhaps I confuse the actor and the role, but I can't help thinking of Penn in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. milliyet.com.tr Not a deep thinker. Same with Woody Harrelson, Barbra Streisand, etc. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Re Sean Penn and the rest of the Bollywood folks... Yesiree, the CIA and FBI must have given these folks extra special clearance during the previous administration. Just look at how much they think they know..... Some comments from an AOL release from Reuters....don't want to infringe on their 10 pages of copyright notices...so here's part of the article... Martin Sheen has some advice for America's real-life commander-in-chief: Give peace a chance. Sheen, who stars as President Bartlett on NBC's hit political drama "The West Wing," is among more than 100 celebrities who are speaking out against a possible U.S. attack on Iraq. He did much of the talking last week at a Hollywood news conference to release an open letter from a new group called Artists United to Win Without War. Sheen said he believed President Bush and his administration "made up their minds a long time ago that they're going to have this war." The entertainers' letter warned a war with Iraq will ``increase the likelihood of terrorist attacks, damage the economy and undermine our moral standing in the world.'' The group was co-founded by Mike Farrell Tony Shalhoub, Kim Basinger, Helen Hunt, Olympia Dukakis, Susan Sarandon Jonathan Demme. Gillian Anderson David Duchovny Janel Moloney, Bradley Whitford Lily Tomlin Marg Helgenberger Robert David Hall Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Elliott Gould Carl Reiner.
