You folks are overlooking the obvious. These "stars" make money by being cast in roles. There is a direct correlation between being cast and being noticed. They get noticed with publicity. Normally that is in celebrity oriented rags, as well as National Enquirer and World Weekly News. They have "agents" part of whose job is to make sure that they are listed as having lesbian affairs, going into rehab, or having sex with Elvis. But getting their face and name out in the mainstream media is even better.

Hoffman, whatever his faults, is no dummy. He sees the publicity that other "stars" have gotten by being critical of the Bush administration and the war preparations. So, he takes advantage of a forum and spouts off provacative statements. He gets plenty of attention. Which is his ultimate goal.

Ahhhh, the old adage that "there is no such thing as bad publicity."

The Hollywood liberals were very upset over the defeat of the democrats in the last election. Bush is very popular, and they are afraid of the solid right wing government. In addition, lots of our allies were offended by our cowboy attitude. Thanks to Mr. Blair, and Mr. Powell, soft sells and diplomacy works. Mr. Bush was made to understand that respecting other countries sensibility is essential to getting them on board.

The point that the Bush administration and the media failed to outlines is; A DEFEATED DICTATOR WITH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WILL CONSTANTLY ATTEMPT REVENGE! His regime must be taken out, to be able to reallocate the Iraqi wealth to serve the Iraqi people and not the ego of a defeated tyrant. The rest of the Moslem haters, their turn is next! Reform, or be killed! This should be done with the help of the international community, and with diplomacy of the likes of Powell!

Our friends in France, Canada, Germany, Australia, Mexico, …... must never be insulted by cowboys and neocons! I guess Bush learned to speak now without projecting the image of a bully. We must work with the our allies to show that revenge plotting by the Moslems underground MUST be eliminated. The Islamic hate and its funding must be stopped! The politically correct media, including the Bush White House should never shy away from saying ISLAMIC terrorists. Islam MUST reform, or be branded illegal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
