In a way it’s nice to know that American actors and pop stars don’t hold a monopoly on aggressive stupidity: Judy Davis slams Howard government.

World renowned Australian actor Judy Davis yesterday slammed the Howard government’s stance on involvement in a possible war against Iraq.

The multi award-winning Hollywood star launched her stinging attack in a speech during the Walk Against the War rally in central Sydney.

Davis, 47, told the crowd war was the ultimate failure in communication, but the West has long believed it had the edge on civility.

“We can no longer take comfort in this fantasy,” she said.

“Those who support John Howard’s easy war rhetoric, those who believe in the fantasy, should educate themselves about the society they intend to destroy.”
