I think his speech was appalling and I would have been embarrassed if I was on stage with him. Many actors who are against the war expressed themselves in a much more polite way. He was just the way he spoke that even upset the peaceniks. Although he was correct in saying that the US government told many lies to sway public opion but maybe instead of making a speech here he should make another documentary. The Oscars were not the place for that.

As for "Bowling for Columbine" well that is a different topic and should not be compared to the Gulf war. Many of the illegal handguns in Canada are brought across the border from the US. It isn't a right to carry a fire arm but a privilege just as it isn't anyone's right to drive a car.

Even though I am against the illegal war in Iraq now that you are there don't come home until you get Sahddam because there should be no need to do this a third time.

My condolences for the soldiers that have died in the line of duty.
