Jane Fonda to Oppose Iraq War on Bus Tour

Actress and activist Jane Fonda says she intends to take a cross-country bus tour to call for an end to U.S. military operations in Iraq.

"I can't go into any detail except to say that it's going to be pretty exciting," she said.

Fonda said her anti-war tour in March will use a bus that runs on "vegetable oil." She will be joined by families of Iraq war veterans and her daughter.

They plan to return to the Santa Fe area, where she was promoting her book, "My Life So Far" on Saturday.

Prompted by a question from the audience, Fonda said war veterans that she has met on a nationwide book tour have encouraged her to break her silence on the Iraq war.

"I've decided I'm coming out," she said.

Hundreds of people in the audience cheered loudly when Fonda announced her intentions to join the anti-Iraq war movement.

"I have not taken a stand on any war since Vietnam," she said. "I carry a lot of baggage from that."

Fonda incited controversy in July 1972 when she was photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun while on a tour of the country to drum up support to end the war.

Personally I dont really care what Jane Fonda thinks about anything. I'm sure she's a nice woman and all...but, who cares?

I hope she has lots of goons with her. Personally, I'm rather worried about her safety.

at least 7 Vietnam War Veterans (Just counting my Father's side of the family) and like most Vietnam War Veterans families I can forgive anything that happened with regards to the war, except for Hanoi Jane.
