I've tried to ignore the latest Susan Sarandon flap on general principle, but Tim Blair points to a quote from rocket science Sue that deserves wider notice:
The actress said one of the positive results of the September 11 attacks was that it gave America something in common with other countries who have fallen prey to terrorism.Whatever planet this airbrain comes from must be one heck of a weird and scary place. And then there is her "solution":
"Afterwards, I said to my kids: 'We've joined the rest of the world now'," she said.
"You're so lucky in Ireland, England and Spain. Everyone there already knows what it's like to have inexplicable terrorist violence."
Sarandon said that she didn't think a military expansion of violence was the solution.Thanks Brainiac. Report back later when you get your questions formulated. Much later.
She said: "First you have to ask the right questions and we haven't formed the right questions on what's going on in the world right now.
"No, I don't think I would want to go to war against Iraq."
