The truth is that I oppose the Iraq war, just as I opposed the Vietnam War, because these two conflicts have weakened the U.S. and diminished our standing in the world and our national security.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In July of 2004, I came out strongly against the war with Iraq because it was going to destabilize the Middle East.
My opposition to the Vietnam War. I was the first Hollywood actor to speak out against it.
I was so opposed to the war in Vietnam that I initially refused President Nixon's urgings for me to go there.
Vietnam was a lie but at least there was a political agenda. It was the domino theory. Iraq is about nothing but George Bush's ego laced with imperialist ambitions. And it was helped by your government.
The people who were against the Vietnam War thought I was attacking the Army. The guys in the Army thought I was representing their experiences. I was on both sides, and I survived.
I am opposed to war, to killing people, to any kind of hatred and violence.
I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war.
I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.
I was very much in favor of the Iraq invasion.
I'm not going to say I was opposed to the Vietnam War. I'm going to say I'm opposed to war. But I'm also opposed to protests that deny other people their rights.
