Hollywood celebs, who were ragingly protesting against George W. Bush's decision to go to war with Iraq in 2000s, are apparently keeping mum on Barack Obama's decision to attack Syria.

The list of anti-war celebs included the likes of George Clooney, Susan Sarandon, Bruce Springsteen, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen and Neil Young.

According to the New York Post, it might be possible that the biggies oppose bombing Syria, but won't say anything because they support the President.

However, singer Sheryl Crow has voiced her opinion in the matter, claiming that shooting cruise missiles into Syria is akin to "throwing a rock in a beehive."

 

Meanwhile, Penn's rep told the publication that there is absolutely no strict stance to be silent or outspoken.

Barbra Streisand's rep said that when she has something to say, she'll post it on her Web site.
