SAG is just kicking up dust here.

They know that the only controlling authority in Hollywood is the marketplace. As long as people are willing to go to the theater, or watch them on TV, then these actors have nothing to worry about.

However, I was having lunch a few days ago with a director who had one of the larger movies to come out last year, and he said something to me that I hadn't really noticed before. That is, all of the really hot young actors have basically kept their mouths shut, regardless of the feelings on Iraq. That's career protection, as they all understand that their futures depend on the audience, and they are smart enough to know that the vast majority of the public supports the president.

BTW, this may be hard to believe, but a lot of Hollywood is more conservative than you think. The town practices a type of capitalism that tends to polarize views on both sides, but as in life, the left tends to be extremely vocal, while the right is more interested in action. Also, Israel is a very big issue for Hollywood, and the Democrats have really stepped in it on this one.
