What the hell happened to Martin Sheen and Sean Penn and Tim Robbins?

I've been super-busy at work for the last two weeks, so I'm shamelessly ripping off stuff from elsewhere.  This is Buzzfeed's list of prominent anti-war celebrities who have been missing since the end of the Bush administration. 

 

Please pray for them and their families, and also for their safe return to protesting against our upcoming war in Syria. 

1. Sheryl Crow

                          

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies.”
— Sheryl Crow

2. Bruce Springsteen

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.”
— Bruce Springsteen

3. Martin Sheen

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“But I am equally against the death penalty or war — anywhere people are sacrificed for some end justifying a means.”
— Martin Sheen

4. Ed Asner

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“I also think that there is a strong streak of racism, and whenever we engage in foreign adventures. Our whole history in regime change has been of people of different color.”
— Ed Asner

 

5. Sean Penn

                               

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“I think we’re past that point in human evolution where there’s such a thing as winning wars.”
— Sean Penn

6. Tim Robbins

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“It is very inspiring and amusing how many people have come out in this genuine and spontaneous way to embrace peace and reject war. It reminds us there is a human and gentle spirit out there in this world.”
— Tim Robbins

7. George Clooney

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“You can’t beat your enemy anymore through wars; instead you create an entire generation of people revenge-seeking.”
— George Clooney

8. Jackson Browne

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“American people always have to be tricked into going to war, they always have to be cajoled. I mean, there’s a long history of being lied to, of having things described in a particular way, in order to get them out of their sort of isolationist… prosperity mode and go to war.”
— Jackson Brown

9. Janeane Garofalo

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“War is failure! When you are at war, you have failed!”
— Janeane Garofalo

10. Neil Young

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“I don’t like war. I particularly don’t like the celebration of war.”
— Neil Young

11. Jessica Lange

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“Let’s talk for a minute about these masters of war, these same men that are sending our sons and our daughters, our brothers and sisters, our mothers and fathers to fight an undeclared and unconstitutional and unwinnable war for them.”
— Jessica Lange

12. Barbra Streisand

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“You know, really good artists have a way of being relevant in their time — but great artists are relevant at any time. So, in the words of William Shakespeare, ‘Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor.”
— Barbra Streisand

13. Danny Glover

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“The world has come together and said ‘no’ to this war – and we must stand with them.”
— Danny Glover

14. Susan Sarandon

 

LAST KNOWN PRE-2009 COMMUNICATION:
“Let us resist this war. Let us hate war in all its forms, whether the weapon used is a missile or an airplane.”
— Susan Sarandon

 

The only explanation for their continued silence must be a large, organized kidnapping. To whoever is responsible for their disappearance, please post pictures of them holding a recent newspaper so we know they’re okay. Maybe one of these:

 

Yours in peace,
America
