But the star later admitted he had not met many Iraqis because he had been travelling the country by helicopter.

Neither have most of the reporters in Iraq. It doesn't stop them from having an opinion.

Tears of The Sun was a great movie, IMO. I don't normally like action films but, OTOH I like about anything with Bruce Willis in it. It is so great to see that he doesn't stumble in his support of the troops and that he doesn't cave to the Hollywood mentality.

It's good to see these conservative Hollywood types finally coming out of the closet. It was great to see Chuck Norris doing a couple of talk shows yesterday and lending his support as well.

I used to consider Bruce to be a self-infatuated dork. Now I think of Bruce as a self-infatuated dork who tries very harder to be a decent and patriotic American. There's hope for that guy. I feel like I can attend his movies without giving $8 of aide and comfort to the enemy.

Excellent PR. Willis hasn't forgotten that he is an American and this Land of the Free has given him much for which to be thankful.

Bruce, if I ever said an unkind word about you, I take it back.

If only more actors loved their country and the people who defend it, we'd be a damn-sight better off.

Salutations to the Unbreakable man!

Willis is a self-absorbed womanizer, but he loves his country. He is very similar to Ahnold in that respect. He is somewhat of a libertarian on social issues if I am not mistaken.
