Not everyone in HollyWood is retarded!

A number of Hollywood heavyweights have taken out a full page ad in the LATimes condeming...wait for it...terrorism.  I know - I can't believe it either.
 
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."
 
Bush has many faults, but one of his biggest successes is steering the debate where it needed to go decades ago - we are in a war with terrorists (islamic radicals really) and the best way to fight that is by promoting democracy.  This language and focus was certainly not inevvitable.
