According to Contactmusic.com, Stone claims that movies like Pearl Harbour and Black Hawk Down glamourised conflicts involving the US.

He said: Pearl Harbour and Black Hawk Down - these movies worshipped the machinery of war, and I think America went back to the concept of war too easily.

"I have reasons to be depressed as a Vietnam veteran, and I can say many Vietnam veterans are depressed about why we are in Iraq."

In contrast, he claims his film World Trade Centre delivers a message of hope.
