This is encouraging. While I'm unsure that this represents much more than a ripple in the torrent of anti-American, anti-Israel fervor that has possessed Hollywood for longer than I care to remember, it is, nonetheless, quite remarkable...
Perhaps even more remarkable (or more likely NOT?), is that (as of this writing and according to Powerline) only ONE MSM entity (the Boston Herald) has elected to cover this Australia-generated story...

From correspondents in Los Angeles
Herald Sun
August 17, 2006
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.

I would go along with "Jane" Wayne maybe. I knew there was something that attracted me to Nicole besides her stunning good looks.
Thank God she shed herself of the Nut Case (Tom Cruise).

Am I dreaming? Something seems terribly (or greatly in this case) off :O
I hope that this is really coming from them and their hearts... to be finally realizing that there is a REAL world out here and that it is dangerous..
Thanks for the nice article Me#1  |
