Truthfully, I would find it difficult to 'feel sorry' for her if she burst into flames.
This is one of the few people in the world that I really despise --- not because she was "opposed to war", which she wasn't in the least. She thought war, any war, was just fine, as long as the Communist side won. She pretended to care about US troops, but the fact is she didn't give a damn about them. She loved the Vietnam War, because she was on the winning side.
She championed the aggressors in Vietnam. She championed the tyrants. And 30 years later, after 5 million people in Southeast Asia have been murdered by these thugs, (and the list grows as Hanoi continues to practice genocide against the Montainyards) and tens of millions more have had been sentenced to lives as slaves under Marxist totaliarism, she still refuses to even consider that she was wrong, that her Hollywood 'radical chic' was only a catalyst for mass murder. She remains proud of her actions, only pausing occasionally as 'business demands' to feign apologizies for some of the most outlandish stunts, but never for the end result. She remians completly oblivious to the suffering she has caused and she remains committed to the ideology that inflected that suffering.
Yes, I'm pissed about what she did to American GIs. But that was just the tip of the iceberg for the untold suffering this woman helped bring down on innocent people.
She may get through this life with her fame and fortune and unlimited sanctimonious ego unaltered by her sins. She'll join a nearly unlimited list of history's scoundrels in that dubious distinction. But she surely won't get through the next life intact.
To hell with Jane Fonda. I'll never have pity on her.
Hats off to you. You said it best!
