Our Political Leaders are worse than Hollywood Celebrities who at least have better Moral Character and compassion for Human Life and Tragedy than our Political and Religious Leadership.
A day or two ago tens of thousands of protesters have demonstrated in Washington to demand the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. The rally comes days before Congress is to discuss President George W Bush's new strategy for Iraq - including the despatch of 21,500 additional troops. The protesters, chanting "Bring the troops home", were joined by Vietnam War-era protester, actress Jane Fonda. Jane Fonda, the Hollywood actress who angered many Americans by visiting Hanoi in 1972 during the Vietnam War, told the crowd: "I haven't spoken at an anti-war rally for 34 years. But silence is no longer an option." She added: "I'm so sad that we still have to do this, that we did not learn the lessons from the Vietnam War." Fonda was joined by fellow actors Sean Penn and Tim Robbins. [3]

American Actress Jane Fonda Protests against US War against Iraq
Robbins said: "What we need is courage, courage and conviction and we need people to represent the voice of the American people, a very clear voice last November, a voice that said: 'We're done with this war'." Although nearly all Democrats and a growing numbers of Republicans oppose the president's plans, he says, senators have not been able to agree yet on a single non-binding resolution expressing their concerns.
