Howard Zinn | The Uses of History and the War on Terrorism
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/112706E.shtml
Howard Zinn begins, "Well, do you get the feeling sometimes that you're living
in an occupied country? Very often that's a feeling I get when I wake up in the
morning. I think, "I'm living in an occupied country.... They've taken over the
country. They've taken over the policy. They've driven us into two disastrous
wars, disastrous for our country and even more disastrous for people in the
Middle East. And they have sucked up the wealth of this country and given it to
the rich, and given it to the multinationals, given it to Halliburton, given it
to the makers of weapons. They're ruining the environment. And they're holding
on to 10,000 nuclear weapons, while they want us to worry about the fact that
Iran may, in ten years, get one nuclear weapon. You see, really, how mad can you
be?"
