The Other Half Speak
While well-known celebrity activists like Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon, Danny Glover and Jessica Lange have already warned Americans of the potential horrors of war, there are still others in Hollywood who are clearly on the opposite side of the political fence. Take action star Jean-Claude Van Damme for example. On the topic of celebrities speaking out against an all-out assault on Iraq, he told Globe magazine, "Some of those in Hollywood are part of the axis of ignorance!" Singer Brian McKnight recently told MSNBC, "If we do go to war, I'm going to support whatever President Bush decides to do." And Pamela Anderson's other half, Kid Rock, didn't waste time mincing words by saying, "We got to kill that mother-[bleeper] Saddam. Slit his throat." Taking a far less visual stand than Mr. Rock, The West Wing's Rob Lowe recently told the Fox News Channel that Americans should support the military and that the best way to do that was to support President Bush. But the grand poobah of Bush backers has to be Bruce Willis, whose latest film, Tears of The Sun, has him playing a loyal veteran officer of an elite Navy S.E.A.L unit. Bruce claims he even asked the President to dispatch him as a secret weapon to get Saddam Hussein. According to the star, he would've been the first in line if only the army would allow him. "I thought about signing up," Bruce said, who never really had the option, "but my friends told me I was too old. ... I called the White House, called President Bush and asked what I could do." Instead of getting his orders to deploy, the president tactfully suggested that the aging actor would be better off adopting some kids instead of leading the siege. The president has since tapped Bruce to serve as a national spokesperson for children in foster care. Last edited by slavdogg at Mar 13 2003, 06:45 PM

Yeah, Bruce is ancient, he's even older than I am! :P He would only qualify to be a Captain Bad Ass LOL
But really, it was a nice gesture..they should have put him in some probably upcoming propaganda films. Last edited by originalheather at Mar 13 2003, 04:31 PM |

It is nice to see some of them making public their support. Rob Lowe said it best I think. We should support our military, it is their asses we lay on the line. My tech just got called up last night from the reserves, they are giving him 5 days to put his life on hold and join the troops in Kuwait. What they sacrafice to defend us is tremendous, and we should all be behind them if we go to war, no matter what we think of the political policy.
Ok, that is about as far as I go discussing politics on a board. :P

ahh yes... the usual misplaced interests and well timed compassion of Hollywood.
i guess they all support the current 13% infant mortality rate of Iraq. war=bad hundreds of thousands of dead babies=good genocide and torture is peachy keen in the Hollywood elite? or am i missing something in the whole "horrors of war" argument?

JR, the thing is, you present something that isn't an either / or choice. There are many ways to lower the infant death rate that don't involve war. It is the same sort of logic I have seen you apply before - if you are against my view, then you are obvious for "this outrageous thing". No, I suspect most of these people (probably all) are appalled by the number of children dying in ALL SORTS OF PLACES... including Iraq.
By your logic, war=save the kids You do that by killing their parents? Destroying their homes? Eliminating the infrastructre of a country? I suspect without clean water and a way to get food to the people of the cities, that the infant death rate will go higher before it goes lower. If torture and killing of your own countrymen was the only reason needed to go to war, the US would have a full time force wandering around Africa diposing dictators and tribal leaders left and right. What's the infant mortality rate there? Sorry, your attempt to mock those who don't share your views by using non-related "facts" is the problem, that is why you are "missing something" - too much non-related information leads to misunderstanding.
