What, exactly, makes you assume that all Americans are stupid? What makes you assume that we all support Bush? If you would take the time to read the comments here, you’d find that many Americans think Bush is a blundering idiot. Just because he might be, doesn’t mean the rest of us are. Don’t confuse the leader with the people. Yes, he got elected (barely), but there are a heck of a lot of people in the US who are neither stupid nor supportive of his policies toward the Middle East. If you’d think this one through (since you’re “not a stupid American”) you’d realize that equating American citizens with Bush is like saying that all Iraquis are like Hussein. So, should we rush out and get the following screen name: “NotASadisticIraqui”? No, you’re too smart to do that, right? You’re not a stupid American like me. Yeah, right. Get a clue!

I also think that it is mean not to allow him to be a human being with emotions and oppinions like everyone else. Even though he is an actor, and an talented artist on so many other levels, he should not be ecspectet to have no individuality. I think it is great to see him show that there is so more to him than being a pretty face on the screen. All people should be alowed to do so without recieving so much disrespect as Viggo.

On the other hand it is uplifting to see the other positive coments supporting Viggo expressing his oppinion.

As Americans head to the polls this fall, I hope they drag at least 10 other people with them and vote with their hearts and their minds and reclaim their wonderful country. Take it back - reclaim your glory. The entire world is watching and may God bless and guide you all.

A loving neighbour.

So way to go viggo for your good and clean heart towards those who have been always looked upon as trash by most of the western world.

We Arabs have our rights just like Americans and Europe and America has no right to decide our affairs for us only because they call us the third world countries and act upon it.

Please, let’s all be civil about this. Resorting to calling names is immature. I don’t agree with Viggo, but I won’t insult him, either.

What Viggo said is what we all, as Arabs, believe in. the only reason that brought American army to the gulf it the gulf’s oil, and i just can’t understand how can anyone believe the lie that the us gov’ told about freeing the Iraqi people and improving thier lives. by what??!.. killing them , destroying thier homes and thier country, and now it the holy places being bombed .. for what?? a greedy man will always feel hungry for more..

please.. please .. All Americans.. the American people have the power to stand in the face of bush and stop the massacares that are being done to Iraq.

And, of course, i have to thank viggo alot for his position and his open mind.

I wonder how he explains the ‘food for oil’ scam that is exposing the UN as nothing but a can of corruption.

The new world order is nothing more than global socialism (UN), which is cooperating with terrorism to destroy ‘capitialism’.

The UN has been responsible for the astonishing social changes seen throughout the western world, a staggering change in population dynamics - only “democracies” have been effected (any coincidence there folks)

Not that I believe that capitalism has any answers, but I really dislike the dishonesty and inconsistency of the “liberals” or socialist doctrine.

well here is rumsfeld shaking hands with him

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/

he was always a ruthless dictator. He didn’t all of the sudden become one in 2001. That didn’t stop Reagan or Bush I from selling him weapons.

As for oil in Iraq? Do you even read the papers?

All Iraqi state industries are being broken up and sold off to private companies. Oil included. Of course, only the “coalition of the willing” will be allowed to buy them up and of course the wealthiest firms (brit and american) will have the best shot at owning a majority stake.

It’s one of the reasons they’re having such a hard time with a constitution. The Kurds are demanding that they have control over all of their own resources. The Shiites are demanding the same.

but ohh yeah, saddam has weapons and he’s prepared to use them. That’s why he was captured with out a shot fired, in a hole in the ground, armed with two rifles and a pistol.

. . . oops

I totaly love him. You should come to helena, Montana some time soon. Well You are amazing. I love you

If it was a war for oil, as the acid-burned hippies want you to think, then why are the oil fields in the hands of the Iraqi industries, and not the military?

Also only 20% of our oil imports come from the mid-east….the rest comes from South America, so why are we not invading them?

Also these ass-clowns did not seem to have a problem spanking Iraq, when Bill Clinton was leading the path

People will cry that GWB went against UN wishes, but so did Clinton….can we say Somolia? Can we say Serbia? Can we say Croatia?

Good, boys and girls, I knew you could.

Yes there are those who would oppose a free Iraq…. just like the Lefties of yesterday opposed a Europe free from Hitler.

In the end, what have the Dixie Chicks and Viggo Mortensen suffered? People disagreeing with their views, and that is all. A knowledge that their views are unpopular with some. But if they had any shred of intelligence, they would have known that before they opened their mouths. The Dixie Chicks will still make millions from music sales, Viggo will still be making movies and may become a very popular star, in spite of his views. I still don’t consider him nor the Dixie Chicks particularly brave just because they expressed their views in a free country.

you may have democracy, you may have one of the most beautiful countries in the world and you may be one of the biggest unions in the world..

but the fuck stop playing world police!!!

how about including other countries’ opinions

into your decissions?!?!?!?

I completely do agree with Viggo!

and by the way I promise you:

if any other country in the world would act and behave like you, YOU were the first ones to critisize that!!!

and didn’t bush say that he had enough money to do a war lasting a year???

so if it was so, couldn’t he just invest that

money in new buildings in iraq?

why does he suddenly need other countries for that?

Someone mentioned that we should live in a Third-World country and then see how it is like.

I live in Kashmir, in an area constantly affected by terrorist attacks and firing by Pakistani Troops. The US chooses to support the Pakistani Dictator in this 50-year-old war between our countries because it doesn’t affect the US citizens, but he chooses to remove Saddam from power even though he has not proved to be a major threat for the past 12 years.

You were shocked by 9/11? Indians have been suffering terrorist attacks for years while the US looked the other way.

What have you suffered because of Saddam? Nothing.

You want to weed out dictators? Good! Start with the Pakistani motherfucker called Pervez Musharraf. No? You want to kill Saddam only? That just shows how fucking unreasonable this war is.

When the UN didn’t support taking action, why did you do it? When the weapons inspectors were saying they got cooperation, why didn’t you let them complete their job? Because there was nothing to support the war. That’s why they finished it so fast.

And one thing. If Saddam was so unpopular in Iraq, why were there attacks on troops after he was toppled?

Even cameramen and reporters have been killed in Iraq by US troops because the DIMWITTED US soldier cant distinguish between a camera and a rocket launcher.
