Peace just a breath away, says Sharon Stone

A peaceful co-existence between the peoples of the Middle East is but a breath away, Hollywood star Sharon Stone said after a highly publicized visit to Israel.

"It feels to me that we have an opportunity ... to choose understanding in a new way," she told a press conference in Paris when asked about her trip.

"And it really is just a breath. It's just an agreement that's just a breath. We are not far apart. We can choose to have this alternative kind of growth that is a collective nuance of understanding.

"We are just that breath away from a peaceful co-existence," she added after her visit to Israel as a guest of the Peres Center for Peace, a foundation run by Nobel laureate and former Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres.

Stone, 48, who visited several projects aimed at promoting peace, including a kindergarten for Israeli and Palestinian children in Jaffa, was also photographed praying at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, the holiest Jewish shrine.

Stone, who is also an ardent champion of women's rights, was in Paris ahead of the release of her latest film "Basic Instinct II".

She told journalists that she was delighted that women were stepping up to take their place in the world, taking on new jobs to which they brought something unique, "their feminine instinct."

"This is a new and very exciting time for women, because women by their very nature are creative and not destructive. And this is an extraordinary and important thing that we can bring into a world that awaits the opportunity for peace."

I hope that someone will begin counting the days/months/years and then begin bugging her "about it taking too long" if peace hasn't broken out by this summer.

"Actresses! What don't they know!"?

Anything?

It's just so darned simple for them to solve the world's problems isn't it?

I hope they can stop those pesky Islamofascist nuclear weapons from going off someday.

And don't forget actors, college professors, "journalists", TV news "pundits", etc., etc., etc. The list of experts is endless.

We are not far apart. We can choose to have this alternative kind of growth that is a collective nuance of understanding.

Uh, right Sharon. They can "choose to have this alternative kind of growth". And it's been that way since Israel was created. BUT, the terrorists (HAMAS, PLO, etc) chose to kill instead of live in peace. If they'd just "grow" and choose an alternative, then Peace would be the result. Have you gone to Hamas and told them this?

Could someone please decipher this for me.

Hollywood sure rushed that sequel out.

While promoting Basic Instinct 2, in which she portrays a psychopathic, homicidal maniac, Stone exclaims,"Peace is but a breath away." Then she pulled out an ice pick!!!!
