Jane Fonda makes big news stories, especially when it comes to her anti-war views. Although, she developed a rather negative following due to some of her anti-war exploits during the Viet Nam debacle, this time she is with a cause that is shared with the vast majority of Americans including military families. It's true there are other people in the public eye who are taking an active role in this anti-Iraq war spectacle. But Jane has a very special cache about her for obvious reasons. She cannot help but draw huge attention to yesterday's rally and to the cause itself. I am glad the Washington Post picked up on the significance of her appearance, and yet did it in a way that did not glamorize Jane Fonda as a star, but merely as a well-known participant in this extraordinarily important moment in our history as a nation.
