"BERLIN (Reuters) - American actor George Clooney stepped up his criticism of George W. Bush's administration on Sunday, saying he feared a war against Iraq was inevitable but would ultimately only lead to more violence." Was he holding hands with Hanoi Jane when he said this? I've said it before and I'll say it again: We Americans are blessed with the right to express our thoughts....within certain boundaries of responsibility. this, as you well know does not give one the right to scream "FIRE!" in a crowded theater. And I believe that IN TIME OF WAR (which we are in now) vocal dissent accomplishes nothing but giving aid to the enemy. I therefore say that actor Clooney is acting as a traitor. There is, of course, little I can do about this except to plead with other Americans to boycot his acting efforts. Yeah, this is tough as he has done some marginally good acting, but don't we have to try? Nat Nat

In fighting for global freedom you would have to respond with: "I disagree with Mr Cloonanator, but I applaud his right to free speech". Instead we get this conservative tyrannical rubbish. sif traitor... "feared a war against Iraq was inevitable but would ultimately only lead to more violence" - sounds pretty likely to me. But then I'm just another free speech loving traitor. Ban all my works, we have to try... -- "Loving kindness, warm hearts and a, "Life is mostly froth and bubble, Stretched out hand of tolerance, Two things stand like stone, All the shining gifts, Kindness in another's trouble, That make peace on Earth." - tBW And courage in your own." - ALG
Nat words do not describe your stupidity.

I can only assume that someone wants 'nat...@centtel.net' to have his mailbox full of hate mail. Seen it before.
