Ted, everyone protesting the war is acting like their freedom of speech is being infringed upon. It's like they feel they haven't made their point unless they put on this charade of being persecuted. <You do understand that more than just a few starlets are opposed to this war.> Of course, like I said before, it's the Hollywood culture to go out and change the world, to believe in liberal and progressive issues, to make a difference just because they're on stage or on film. I remember Hollywood and music stars protesting Gulf War I back in 1991. The same old arguments were brought up back then: It's all about oil. We have no business there. It'll be the next Vietnam. We ought to negotiate. Etc. As for Susan Sarandon, she comes across as more worried about her public image than holding strong to a controversial belief. Pardon me for being blunt, but if she can't take the criticism, she should keep her mouth shut. Tenchusatsu
