Courageous celebrities

Sean Penn has gone to Iraq to see for himself and witness for us the plight of the Iraqi people. He has declared himself as a citizen of a democracy and exercised his right to disagree with the policies of the George W. Bush administration

Jane Fonda in Palestine. She is still taking flak for going to North Vietnam. Even fellow celebrities who oppose war in Iraq have distanced themselves from her "anti-American" actions 30 years ago. Sympathy with Vietnam vets -- who certainly got a bad deal -- should not blind us to the fact that America betrayed Ho Chi Minh, who asked America for help and instead received the full antagonistic force of the most powerful army in the world. And Americans are asking "why do they hate us"? Duh. . .

Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins speak our against Bush's agenda: Show us the evidence of Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction." Don't expect us to believe you just because you say so. You have lied to us before.
