Vietnam War protester Jane Fonda voiced her opinion about the U.S.-led war with Iraq Thursday, saying the campaign will turn people all over the world against America.

Jane FondaAccording to The Associated Press, Fonda told a Canadian audience that the conflict frightens her, but is not sure what Americans can do about it.

"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," Fonda said.

The 65-year-old actress and peace activist has been the target of criticism for decades for her opposition to the Vietnam War. She raised the ire of the United States when she posed for pictures overseas with members of the opposition's military.

Fonda made her comments during the Unique Lives and Experiences lecture series in Vancouver. In addition to the war, Fonda also talked about Canada, her acting career and three marriages and divorces.

Fonda last marriage was to media mogul Ted Turner, which ended in divorce in 2001 after 10 years.

The daughter of legendary actor Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for 1971's "Klute" and a Best Actress Oscar for 1978's "Coming Home." Her other films include "Julia," "The China Syndrome" and "On Golden Pond," where she co-starred with her father.
