100 celebs sign anti-war letter

Around 100 actors and musicians have signed a letter urging President Bush not to take military action in Iraq, with White House spokesman Ari Fleischer responding.

With more American celebs expressing their concern’s over Bush’s foreign policy in the Middle East every day, now 100 actors and musicians have signed a formal letter to the President urging him not to take a military option in Iraq.

REM’s Michael Stipe, David Duchovny, Matt Damon, Kim Basinger, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Barbra Streisand and Martin Sheen are among those who have signed the letter which says: "War talk in Washington is alarming and unnecessary. We are patriotic Americans who share the belief that Saddam Hussein cannot be allowed to possess weapons of mass destruction. We support rigorous United Nations weapons inspections to assure Iraq's effective disarmament."

White House press secretary Ari Fleischer reportedly responded: "the president agrees that violence is not the answer in Iraq, and that's why he hopes Saddam Hussein will disarm." Waits to be seen if that’s true.
