MONTREAL (AFP) US actress Jane Fonda is pessimistic about the outcome for the United States of its military intervention in Iraq, she said in an interview published in last week Thursday's edition of The Globe and Mail newspaper.
"It's hard to imagine a happy ending to the US-led war in Iraq," Fonda, who was previously dubbed "Hanoi Jane" for her visit to the Vietnamese capital in protest US involvement there between 1961 and 1975.
"What's it going to mean for (US) stability as a nation, for terrorism, for the economy I can't imagine. I think the entire world is going to be united against us," she said.
Fonda was also harshly critical of her fellow US citizens.
"I don't know if a country where the people are so ignorant of reality and of history, if you can call that a free world," she said.
