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
