Say what you will about Sean Penn, but he earned my respect when went to Bagdhad, Iraq twice, once before and once after, America's illegal, immoral, and disgusting invasion to highlight the suffering of ordinary Iraqis at the hands of the US military and the utter chaos that the US created there when it wasn't there before.

The civilian/enemy fighter kill ratio in Iraq, by doctors accounts, is 90:10. Ninety civilians killed by the US military for every 10 enemy combatants killed.
And people call Sean Penn incompetent. I mean, I don't really care what anyone thinks about the guy, but I do like to keep things in perspective for myself.

If you remember correctly, he was conspicuously absent.
These Hollyweird clowns are like little kids...they are completely incapable of understanding the implications of high politics beyond a completely superficial level. All Sean Penn knows is that Bush is a "bad guy"...because "great minds" like Michael Moore told him so. Don't give him any more credit than that.

Point taken Thomas. Also, it wasn't just Sean Penn who was silent about, or outspoken against, Clinton's adventure in Serbia. I put up a post on OD recently with quotes from Sean Hannity to Tom Delay to George W Bush screaming against Clinton's war....the same crew who was/is heartily cheerleading Bush's much worse debacle in Iraq.
Also, Sean Penn put nigger Chris Rock in his place during the Oscar's earlier this year, on national TV.
Also, Sean Penn recently did a 5 day trip and report from Iran, about what it's really like there on the ground. Like his reports from Iraq, I found them to be insightful and not as politically biased as some might think. He humanized a misunderstood people and culture in Iran and Iraq...a pretty basic eyewitness report about the daily life of a people that the US administration under George W Bush otherwise loves to conquer, kill and occupy or would love to conquer, kill and occupy.
What can I say, I like the guy. Is he the best guy? No. Is he among the worst? Hell no.

"Sean Penn: 'My New Orleans efforts were sincere'
10/09/2005 - 08:51:45
Movie star Sean Penn has hit back at reports he used the Hurricane Katrina tragedy as a publicity stunt.
The actor and activist has been charged with taking a personal photographer and crew to New Orleans, Louisiana - so they could document his efforts.
But angry Penn insists his motives were all good - he hired a boat and helped ferry 40 stranded locals to safety.
On Wednesday, he told CNN host Larry King: "We went in, a couple of friends of mine, on our own. Certainly we had the attention of some photographers. We tried to do what we could."
Sure! We believe you, Sean!

"Actor Sean Penn was furious when he found out he has been accused of using the Hurricane Katrina tragedy as a publicity stunt.
Penn, 45, who was accompanied by his personal photographer and a crew of helpers, tried to help those stranded by the devastating floods, launching a boat down the water-logged streets of New Orleans.
But, according to Australia's Melbourne Herald Sun, he was forced to bail out with a red plastic cup when the vessel started filling with water.
And now, the actor is accused of publicity stunt, critics asking why did he take a photographer with them. Penn hit back at reports, saying his efforts were sincere; he hired a boat and helped ferry 40 stranded locals to safety.
On Wednesday, he told CNN host Larry King, "We went in, a couple of friends of mine, on our own. Certainly we had the attention of some photographers. We tried to do what we could."
What a jerk this guy is! LOL! Only a moron would fall for this weasle.

"Ya know what? I am really getting irritated at losers in the Gulf States who have the time to bitch about how it's somehow the Federal Government's responsibility to fix state-specific problems rather than helping out the stranded and dying. And you call yourselves "compassionate"? In what contrived, deluded way do you think bitching rather than helping is "compassionate"? How, Mr. Penn, is bringing your personal photographer and several others along with you on a tiny fishing boat rental that's not fit even to carry three individuals and spending all afternoon compensating for your lack of seamanship helping anyone? Considering your financial resources, you could easily have a fleet of cigarette boats with real sailors do all the dirty work for you.
But Sean Pean's idiotic and egotistical stunt (yes, "going to rescue children" with a personal photographer to take pictures of you pulling them out of the floodwaters is clearly an act of self-serving narcissism) isn't what's got me breathing fire right now. Rather, it's idiots like LA governor Kathleen Blanco, the NOLA city administration, and other state officials and idiots that are trying to pin the blame for their failure to fix the levees that have been a problem for half a decade now on the Fedgov, and on Dubya in particular.
An article in Scientific American dated October 2000 shows that state officials knew this was a recognized problem almost 5 years ago. But we don't want to hold the state of LA accountable for its failure to serve its people. After all, it's the FedGov's responsibility to take care of everyone! People, separation of powers exists for a reason! And not just to keep power decentralized (although that is the main idea). Since when, I ask, is it up to Montana to pony up funds to fix a Louisiana problem that LA is (financially at least) more than capable of fixing. The fact that your state officials, LA, are too corrupt and busy embezzling your tax dollars to care about you isn't anyone's fault other than yours for electing these idiots!
And now, while you're on the verge of drowning, they're too self-serving to help anyone other than themselves by trying to score political points and cover their asses to help you out. Hell, your stupid governor was the real reason the FedGov didn't get there sooner. Kathleen was too busy pretending that there was an "underlying political motive" to allow FEMA to take over. Either she is so hysterically paranoid that she not mentally stable enough to be allowed to serve as a school janitor, or she blocked federal assistance for with the sole intention of claiming that POTUS was taking his sweet time in providing relief in order to cover her ass and/or score political points. Either way you slice it, this is unaceptable!
It really steams my broccoli when real people are out there suffering and dying and the very people who are given the authority of their state to fix these problems and provide for the common defense are too f*cking selfish and/or paranoid to do the right thing! Take note, LA, and behold the selfish bastards you put into office are once again looking out for #1.
This is just like Iraq, in many ways. You have the deluded narcissists (like Sean Penn and Micheal Moore) using this tragedy for a PR stunt, you have self-absorbed politicans pretending to but really not giving a sh*t about those on the ground (or in the water), you have troops fighting thugs that should be eradicated like the inhuman scum they are, you have the press reporters too busy trying to score Pulitzer points rather than helping the folks affected, and once again everyone is too clueless and/or wicked to face the ugly truth rather than blame POTUS.
And these are the same asshats that whined about holding Clinton accountable to the law for lying under oath. Back then it was "partisanship". But blaming natural disasters on Bush somehow isn't?
There are some days I reeeeally wonder why I chose to serve this country. "

"TORONTO - For jaded journalists who ridiculed Sean Penn's rescue mission last week in New Orleans, his wife has a salty message. "To them, I say 'F--k you!'" Robin Wright Penn told me yesterday at the Toronto International Film Festival, where she was hawking a very peculiar indie movie, "Sorry, Haters," in which she stars as a deranged but beautiful rap video channel employee who's seeking post-9/11 vengeance against a Syrian taxi driver.
"I think it's f-----g pathetic to be belittling him," Wright Penn raged - a blond, blue-eyed lioness protecting her mate (who was on hand for Friday's premiere, sitting with his spouse in the back row and well-positioned to gauge the expressions on the faces of a few audience members who walked out of the film early).
The 39-year-old actress was responding to news accounts of her husband's trip - to help children stranded by Hurricane Katrina - that said his boat sprang a leak and began sinking under the weight of his huge celebrity entourage (including pop historian Douglas Brinkley), and that the motor wouldn't start and regular citizens taunted him.
"Do we have to go to the bowels of infantile behavior?" she demanded. "Here people are dying, and if it wasn't Sean Penn going crazy watching CNN and saying, 'I have to do something' - but instead it was 'Joe Smith from Morgan City' - then those people would be thanking him, not attacking him."
God help the gossip columnist who won't say the woman has a point. As for her character in the movie - a needy, manipulative psychopath who hates herself a helluva lot and everyone else even more - Wright Penn giggled and quipped, "Kinda like most women!"
