===Opposition to the Iraq War=== {{See also|Opposition to the Iraq War}} Fonda argued that the [[Iraq War]] would turn people all over the world against America, and asserted that a global hatred of America would result in more terrorist attacks in the aftermath of the war. In July 2005, Fonda announced plans to make an anti-war bus tour in March 2006 with her daughter and several families of military veterans, saying that some war veterans she had met while on her book tour had urged her to speak out against the [[Iraq War]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Jane Fonda to oppose Iraq war on bus tour |url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2005-07-25-fonda_x.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060210025522/http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2005-07-25-fonda_x.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 10, 2006 |date=July 25, 2005 |work=[[USA Today]] |agency=[[Associated Press]] |access-date=January 22, 2011 }}</ref> She later canceled the tour due to concerns that she would divert attention from [[Cindy Sheehan]]'s activism.<ref>{{cite web|first=Roger|last=Friedman|date=September 7, 2005|url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/fonda-puts-brakes-on-bus-tour|title=Fonda Puts Brakes on Bus Tour|website=[[Fox News]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181106152330/https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,168646,00.html |archive-date=November 6, 2018|url-status=live|access-date=April 2, 2006}}</ref> In September 2005, Fonda was scheduled to join British politician and anti-war activist [[George Galloway]] at two stops on his U.S. book tour—Chicago, and [[Madison, Wisconsin]].
