Maybe another 99 people with no clue -- but with with some name recognition because they are good at pretending to be someone else -- can get together and call a news conference.

[Arkie2]

Non-partisan. Some were Democrats but most were Socialists and a significant minority were Marxists. That's what passes for non partisanship in Hollywood.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Actors Mike Farrell, Matt Damon and Martin Sheen ...

[Asclepius]

"The idea that somehow the end justifies the means, as you?re suggesting, is exactly contrary to the principles on which this country was founded," Farrell said.

Um, what? We fought a war for our own independence, Farrell.

[mystery-ak]

You have to remember these are actors...they read other people's lines....Im betting someone else(a writer) wrote their opening statement...especially after reading their answers on the Q&A.

[ladtx]

How in the hell do 100 people who have no more intellect (most of them less) than I do, get to have their own little grandstand to spout "stuff and nonsense"? Why won't the press ask them one simple question, "Mr. Sheen, Farrell et al, just exactly what is your qualification to make such a pronouncement?" And the the follow-up question. "And just exactly, why should the press and other major media pay attention to such drivel?" I guess it's the old "I'm not a president, but I play one on TV" syndrome.

[NeonKnight]

Why doesn't someone ask the question..."If there were no threat of war, do you really think there would be arms inspectors in Iraq right now?"

or..."The UN had 10 years to disarm Iraq peacefully, if Iraq is shown to have WMD, wouldn't appear that the diplomatic approach failed?"

[Puppage]

share the belief that Saddam Hussein cannot be allowed to possess weapons of mass destruction.

And, after the inspectors fail, and you try stern language.....WHAT THEN? Have you even THOUGHT that far ahead?

[SJackson]

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

[driftless]

All I have to see is Howard Zinn, Studs Terkel, and a few other arch-commies on the list to know that many of these vacuous celebs are just dupes of the extreme left.

[TroutStalker]

The deft former star of M*A*S*H* said he would have preferred it had the elder President Bush explored "options short of war" before expelling Hussein from Kuwait.

Now I understand how he got the name BJ.

[ClancyJ]

So, these "celebs" are willing to risk my safety and the safety of my grandchildren to no force - just talk?

Just what if they are wrong and Saddam has chemical weapons he could easily move into the U.S.?

Just what if they are wrong and Saddam thinks "Great! I can continue "talk" while I provide chemical/biological/nuclear to terrorists who can move it to the U.S. We are going to take down America."

Just what if "talk" is not effective against those that hate us and want our wealth? Are we willing to risk our freedom to the likes of this group?

[conservativemusician]

Doesn't it surprise that Algore's "conservative" media would give these schmucks so much attention?

Mike Farrell? He's doing bad movies on Lifetime for pete's sake!

Martin Sheen? Excuse me but , wasn't it he that referred to our President as a "white knuckled drunk"?

Last night O'Reilly had Janeane Garofalo(last seen in, uh I dunno) and Joe Pantoliano(last seen as the decapitated Ralphie on the Sopranos) on to discuss this petition. Good thing my bathroom is close to my tv. Had I been on a plane I would have been reaching for the barf bag!

Garofalo was actually saying that we should allow weapons inspectors do their job before launching an attack.
What the hell are we doing? Duh! I mean, you can't make this stuff up!

The idiocy of the Hollywood left is sometimes beyond human comprehension.

[doug from upland]

Thank goodness Mike Farrell was not around in 1776 (although that actually would not be here now.) His position would have been that throwing tea overboard was a pre-emptive act, and there is no way we should strike the British. We must negotiate. Of course, we would be doing it on our knees.

[KSCITYBOY]

Screw these idiots.... They are qualified to read scripts and nothing more. I hate to think we support these morons by going to movies and TV.

[Nick Danger]

I think all these guys have played this card one too many times. "Weren't you against the Gulf War, too?" is a very telling question. The other day, in New York, Daniel Ellsburg was arrested protesting against the war. I'm sorry, but I've seen this movie and this is where I came in. It's the same clowns every time, they are never on the side of America in anything, and this has been going on for thirty years.

They have some kind of death wish for their own country. That's their problem; I don't need to make it mine. Never mind their arguments about this war or that one... they are always against whatever we're going to do. They have all become tiresome nags. To Hell with them.

"Artists United to Win Without War"

I can't find a website for these guys. I would love to see a list of the clymers who signed the petition, or whatever they want to call it.

[veronica]

Stupid sock puppets for the left. They have NO IDEA what's going on in the ME.

They are looking for publicity. I work in Hollywood, I know these types. It's all about a career move.

[Publius6961]

Therefore, along with 97 other celebrities, they have formed a group called Artists United to Win Without War.

OK.

Looking for 99 other people to form the new group "Normal People United to Win the War Whatever it takes"...

We can write letters too...

[beaversmom]

Hey Martin Sheen is President. If Mike Farrell doesn't want to go to war and patch our wounded up he should complain to him.
