I totally agree with the earlier statements that the opinion of Hollywood idols should have no more weight than anyone elses. This site however takes pains to brand all dissenting views as "Un-American" and highlights the dissenters. OK, I am not American, but I know if someone was branding me as Un-Australian simply because I didn't believe the same things on this war - well the concept is a nonsense in itself.
Darvos - here is a quote from an article in today's Times. It's written by their Chief Sports Writer, Simon Barnes. If I tell you that he is barred from entering Zimbabwe you'll understand why I have a degree of respect for him. He is talking about the right-wing in the US:

"...........the right wing defines freedom as the right to believe anything you like, so long as it's the same as me. And if you happen to be different you have to be stopped"
