[Peace-discuss] Clint Eastwood against Iraq war - all over now

[Morton K. Brussel]

Pretty sickening to me. When did Eastwood announce he was against  
attacking Iraq?
What is his stance on Iraq now? Should we pull out or stay (and  
attack Iran?)?
How many deaths are due to Bush's tenacity?

This is no help in the anti-war movement.
