Another Hollywood asshat shoots off his mouth overseas
In an interview in Madrid, Harrison Ford became the latest Hollywood actor to criticize the Bush administration while on foreign soil. "Iâm very disturbed about the direction American foreign policy is going," said Ford, according to the Australian Associated Press. Ford, in Spain to promote his new release "Hollywood Homicide," noted U.S. post-war casualties have exceeded those during the actual conflict. "I think something needs to be done to help alleviate the conditions which have created a disenfranchised and angry faction in the Middle East," said the 62-year-old Ford, the Australian news wire reported.

The worst part about these rants is that the perpetrator has such a shallow understanding of whatâs really happening, but because of their "stardom" think they have to spew.

"I donât think military intervention is the correct solution," he said. "I regret what we as a country have done so far."
While Ford has starred in many shoot-âem-up thrillers, he said he abhors Americaâs liberal gun laws. "Iâm very troubled by the proliferation of arms, at the fact so many people in the United States carry guns," he said, according to the AAP. "It obviously contributes greatly to the crime problems we have. Iâm sure gun laws should be strengthened in the United States. I just donât know the correct mechanism."
