LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood launched a another strike against the Iraqi war on Saturday during a politically charged ceremony that could serve as a prelude for even more fireworks at the Academy Awards the next evening.

In a star-studded luncheon at the Independent Spirit Awards, the arthouse movie industry's version of the Oscars, celebrities blasted President Bush and the American-led war against Iraq.

Most outspoken was documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, the man behind the popular anti-gun expose "Bowling for Columbine," whose title refers to the Colorado high school where two students massacred 13 people in 1999.

Let's just pull the FBI and Homeland Security people from doing any work on the Oscars and let the Hollyweird folk come to a better understanding of what terrorists are all about.

I wouldn't cry about it.

Re Micheal Moore: I had a friend from Ireland who often recalled an Irish saying: "What do you expect from a pig but a grunt."
