Nine MSN Connery against war in Iraq 12th March 2003 AP - Actor Sean Connery added his name to the many stars who are criticising possible military action against Iraq. During a four-day visit to Panama, the former James Bond said he did not support a possible war, joining such well-known names as Martin Sheen and Sean Penn. "I don't know who could be in favour of it," he said. "But it can't be stopped. It is inevitable." Hours later, President Mireya Moscoso presented the Scottish actor with a Manuel Amador Guerrero award, named after the country's first president. She said Connery was given the award for his "talent and versatility." Connery travelled throughout Panama, visiting the canal, one of Moscoso's private coffee plantations, and the isolated Darien province along Panama's border with Colombia. The star of "Finding Forrester" and "Entrapment" said he was fascinated with the country's natural beauty. |
