NICOLE Kidman has made a public stand against terrorism.
The actress, joined by 84 other high-profile Hollywood stars, directors, studio bosses and media moguls, has taken out a powerfully-worded full page advertisement in today's Los Angeles Times newspaper.
It specifically targets "terrorist organisations" such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine.
"We the undersigned are pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas," the ad reads.
"If we do not succeed in stopping terrorism around the world, chaos will rule and innocent people will continue to die.
"We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs."
A who's who of Hollywood heavyweights joined Kidman on the ad.
The actors listed included: Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt.
Directors Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Dick Donner and Sam Raimi also signed their names.
Other Hollywood powerplayers supporting the ad included Sumner Redstone, the chairman and majority owner of Paramount Pictures, and billionaire mogul, Haim Saban.

Sam Raimi is from Michigan and hangs with his Michigan chums, Bruce Campbell, Rob Tapert, Lucy Lawless (married to Tapert) and brother, Ted Raimi. Nice to see Sam on the list. Michael Douglas is a surprise.

"......stop terrorism at all costs."
I wonder if they even realize that this includes pre-emptive war.

Whether I agree or disagree with these Hollywood folk, who gives a rip what they think? They're actors. They should shut up and act [or direct, or whatever].

Wood is a genius. Very well versed in world politics and a good conservative. Wonder if Ron Silver and Dennis Miller signed it? Where's Kelsey Grammar?
