Indiana Jones whips Dubya's policy Harrison Ford staged an attack on foreign soil yesterday, but his target was George W. Bush. Ford is the latest Hollywood celebrity to dump on the Prez, joining Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn, among others, in criticizing America's adventure in Iraq. "I am very disturbed about the direction American foreign policy is going," Ford said in Madrid yesterday. He's in Spain promoting his U.S. box-office flop "Hollywood Homicide," co-starring Josh Hartnett. "Something needs to be done to help alleviate the conditions which have created a disenfranchised and angry faction in the Middle East," he said. "I don't think military intervention is the correct solution. I regret what we as a country have done so far." The 61-year-old actor also used his closeup to rail about crises in domestic policy. "I'm very troubled by the proliferation of arms," said Ford (who refused to discuss his relationship with girlfriend Calista Flockhart). "So many people in the United States carry guns. I'm sure gun laws should be strengthened in the United States. I just don't know the correct mechanism." Perhaps Indiana Jones will. Ford says a script for the fourth installment of the franchise has "come a long way." "If we can get to be happy with the progress of the script, we'll start shooting in the summer of 2004," he said. Just in time for the election. Indy for Prez, anyone? |
