— Sharon Stone says the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, should not have been used as a pretext for the United States to launch wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to comments published in a pan-Arab newspaper.

In an interview with Al Hayat, the actress also bemoaned what she called Americans' decision to ignore the deaths of so many Iraqis.

"I feel at great pain when the spotlight is on the death of 4,000 American soldiers, while 600,000 Iraqi deaths are ignored," she said.

Stone was interviewed in December when she was attending the Dubai International Film Festival in the United Arab Emirates. Al Hayat published excerpts Monday.

Stone came to the region seeking answers for herself, she said, because the U.S. media has failed to provide Americans with the truth.
