  • Why can't more americans think this clearly?

    Howard Zinn, thank you for your books and videos. A great mind and guiding light.

  • @martyshack717

    1st It's not America, it's United States.

    2nd He didn't hate USA, just the US government and its cruel political-economical system. He wanted the best for America.

  • I am an Australian and found Zinn one of the clearest thinkers on the modern gold rule "we cant do war anymore" if we are to survive.

    I want to say god bless him but i am an atheist

  • @RiverBlanket Abso-f^*&ing-lutely, completely-f*&^ing right! I have been wondering that for the past 9 months! I just keep thinking to myself: "So... corporations are people. They are not getting the right to free speech... And money is the way they speak?" I wish corporations would speak to me.

  • Too few people see this kind of interview with this much truth. I wish the extremist tea-partiers enjoyed the truth as much as they worship Fox Noise. If that would happen, then progress could be made.

  • I was part of the leadership of the anti-war movement (SMC) at the University of Texas 1969-71. I was definately aware of Chomsky but didn't know about Zinn. Great man. At 62, I'm finally reading his books. Today is 9-11-2010. I thought we had learned our lesson in Vietnam. I never thought that the American public would be hoodwinked into another illegal war and elect someone as stupid as Bush. The Dems have blown it. I gave $500 to Obama. I'm back to being a democratic socialist.

  • Great man and great video!

  • I wish Amy had asked Howard about one of his books not mentioned "SNCC the new abolitionists"--folks who want to know about this heroic organization should read it! God Bless you Howard.

  • @Taharah007 ...yes, why don't we?

  • @vivascargill Thanks for pointing this out to me. Excellent.

    Mark Twain - Vice-President of the "Anti-imperialist league". Brilliant worth that alone @ 26.48

    Not to mention -

    Helen Keller - Socialist organiser, Bob Moses - heroes of the civil rights movement... wonderful.

  • A wonderful humanitarian and AMERICAN! (Why can't we have LEADERS like him?)

  • we miss you Howard!
