Welcome back, Jane!

It was good to see and hear Jane Fonda at last weekend's anti-war rally in the Capitol.
Fonda has stayed away from the anti-Iraq War movement the past few years, in part because of the continual fallout of her own involvement in the anti-Vietnam War era. Many people still can't forget her visit to North Vietnam and the photo of her with the North Vietnamese anti-aircraft guns.
Well, much time has passed. Fonda has apologized for that incident, though she still continues to take heat. ("Fair and balanced" Fox News called her "Hanoi Jane" on their home page. Shame on them.)
But hearing and seeing her at the Capitol rally was like old-home week. One of the pioneers of the modern day anti-war movement has returned.
A few conservatives we know have nothing but bad to say about her. Tough. We didn't agree with everything Jane did back then, but she wasn't afraid to say what she thought about the war. We sure could use more of that now.
