Actress: 9/11 our fault

NYDAILYNEWS ^ | 04/24/05 | MAGGIE HABERMAN

[Fudd Fan]

guess what... the link to her website no longer works!!

[pepperdog]

Do people who work in movies have their brains removed as a prerequisite for employment?

[Americanexpat]

Never heard of her. Is this another one of those bimbo J-lo, Jane Fonda wannabee, type actressses?

Ask her if she wants to go trade places with a Muslim woman for awhile, preferably in Pakistan.

[The_Media_never_lie]

She does a movie about 911 and now she is an expert.

Have these people lost the ability to separate myth from reality?

[infidel29]

Because I think America has done reprehensible things and is responsible in some way...

Here are some of the reprehensible things the U.S. has done...

$191 million in democracy and governance, conflict mitigation and human rights programs to support elections, the rule of law and anti-corruption and anti-trafficking efforts

$325 million in transition initiatives to support the stabilization of fragile states

$655.5 million in disaster and famine assistance for the management of humanitarian relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction assistance to countries struck by natural and man-made disasters

$885 million in food assistance (P.L. 480 Title II) to relieve chronic food shortages, finance developmental activities and address emergency food shortages

$451 million in education

$433 million in agriculture and natural resource management

$244 million in business, trade and investment

$330 million for HIV/AIDS

$425 million for family and reproductive health programs

$327 million for child survival and maternal health

$139 million for other infectious diseases

$3.036 billion in assistance to countries supporting the economic and political foreign policy concerns of the United States. Major recipients of this aid include Egypt, Israel, Jordan, West Bank and Gaza and front-line states in the war on terrorism, including Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Philippines. Funding is also requested for Iraq.

$680.7 million for USAID operating costs

$77.7 million for capital investment

The President's budget requests $9.1 billion in fiscal year 2006 for development and humanitarian assistance administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). source

Damn us all to hell for being so greedy and doing these reprehensible things.

[No Longer Free State]

Another movie I won't be seing.

[LAURENTIJ]

She played a liberal ditz in Donnie Darko. Figures.

[Dont Mention the War]

I'm sure that Maggie Gyllenhaal never had a problem with Clinton breaking the UN arms embargo and shipping $800 million in arms to the Muslims in Bosnia via Iran.

She was too busy to complain when she was on her kneepads.

[GVnana]

think America has done reprehensible things and is responsible in some way and so I think the delicacy with which it's dealt allows that to sort of creep in

One actress who won't "creep in" to my live.

[Marguerite]

Why would anybody care what a stupid non-entity like that chick said?

[CaptainK]

She should take a tour of the Middle East and screen "Secretary" to the masses. I wonder how the Muslims will react to a woman who appears totally nude in a movie while engaged in kinky sexual acts.?
After the stoning we can all reflect on her reprehensible behavior and her responsibility in bringing about her own fate.

[Dont Mention the War]

This is too bad, she was good in "Secretary".

Yes, I have to admit she made an excellent whore. It's almost as if she was born to play that part!

[Dont Mention the War]

Another movie I won't be seing.

Judging from its screening schedule, I don't think you'd be able to see this movie if you wanted to. If it plays in five theaters outside of Manhattan ever, the producers will be lucky.

[libs_kma]

She's just building her Film Actors Guild (FAG) creds...give her a break.

Man, I tell ya, this woman has a face for radio.....

[cubreporter]

Another emptied headed starlet.

[kAcknor]

She has obviously been putting a similar diet into her brain....

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal...believes the United States "is responsible in some way" for the devastating terror attacks.

Yes...I suppose that's true Maggie dear. If the United States did not exist then I suppose the attacks never would have happened.

Just like women abused by their husbands are responsible in "some way" for the beatings they receive. If they'd just keep their mouths shut and do as they're told, they could avoid the abuse in the first place. Is that right Maggie dear?

[expatguy]

I wonder if she also thinks that women who get raped are partially to blame for wearing sexy clothes?

LOL what a jerk

An American Expat in Southeast Asia

[I'm ALL Right!]

Moron. They say any press is good press. Well, now a large number of us will be watching for her movies....so we can ignore them. Hope she has a "PLAN B" career-wise. Maybe she can join the Dixie Chicks working at the IHOP.

[logician2u]

You believe in collective guilt, do you? Like, the citizenry are all partially responsible for actions taken by their government?

Well, let's take this to the extremes and see how it fits:

• The German people are responsible for the Holocaust.
• The Russian people are to blame for Stalin's state-imposed famines, gulags and mass murders.
• The Iraqi people got what they deserved by letting Saddam Hussein remain in power after the Gulf War.
• The American people . . OH, WAIT -- we have an ELECTED government, so that changes it all, doesn't it?

Blame for wrongdoing can only logically and legally be assigned to individuals not "groups" or "races" or nations. Those who think otherwise are, deep down, collectivists.
