Jane Fonda has revealed she would have loved to tour the United States and speak out against the country’s involvement in the Iraq War, but says her “baggage” from protesting against the Vietnam conflict would have made it too difficult.
"I wanted to do a tour like I did during the Vietnam War, a tour of the country," the Oscar-winning actress revealed on Good Morning America.
Adding that leading anti-war figure Cindy Sheehan, whose 24-year-old soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004, has “filled in the gap, and she is better at this than I am. I carry too much baggage."
Fonda says her controversial campaigning against Vietnam still creates many problems for her.
Just recently, the Georgia Senate rejected a resolution to honour her for her work in lowering the teen pregnancy rate, her role as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations, and for her charity and university donations.
