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 organizations" 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 organizations 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."
Wuzzadem's Mrs. R predicted this a few days ago.
I am happy they did this. It is a bit pathetic that we are so surprised and grateful that Hollywood would throw a bone of support to democracies against totalitarian fascists. We have to take what we can get.
Update: a homemade film with a pointed question about suicide bombers. (Via Jawa)
