Fox News reports that more than 100 'stars' signed the letter to George Bush urging him to stave off war with Iraq.

[Tony] Shalhoub, Martin Sheen and Mike Farrell were among nearly a dozen performers who got together to draw attention to their cause.

Among those signing the letter were Academy Award winners Kim Basinger, Helen Hunt, Olympia Dukakis, Susan Sarandon and director Jonathan Demme.

Other names included former X-Files stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny; The West Wing cast members Sheen, Janel Moloney, Bradley Whitford and Lily Tomlin; CSI: Crime Scene Investigation actors Marg Helgenberger and Robert David Hall; and Ocean's Eleven co-stars Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Elliott Gould and Carl Reiner.

R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills joined fellow musicians Peter Yarrow and Bonnie Raitt.

<sarcasm><cynicism>Well, there you have it. These people are obviously better informed and have greater intelligence reports than our President.

Mike Ferrell was in M*A*S*H. He knows that fake-hollywood-war can be hell, and real war must be just about as bad.

West Wing President, Martin Sheen certainly knows what he's talking about too. He's been fake-president longer than Bush has been the real President, and his fake-approval ratings are just as high. I'm sure he trusts the fake-Saddam Hussein, and the other fake-dictators on his show.

And although Tony Shalhoub is from Green Bay, WI, he has Lebanese blood in him and has portrayed Middle Easterners in countless movies and TV shows. I'm sure if he lived in Iraq, he'd have been part of the 100% that voted for Saddam Hussein in his latest re-election campaign.

I'm convinced, how about you? Could all these celebrities be wrong? Or do they just figure his missiles can't reach the left coast?</sarcasm></cynicism>
