He has seen first-hand the evils of Amerika. I don't need to say thing here, Howard Zinn has already said it. Amerika is an evil empire, it has commited war crimes, torture, and genocide, like almost every other nation. The only problem I have, is that they cover it up with words like Liberty and Freedom. Amerika is a hypocritial state, and I hope it fall very soon. communist ****** By: Glennke. on 20 Nov 08, 20:11:39 communist ****** You sir, are fool. ...

By: tantanman65. on 18 Nov 08, 20:40:37 Although Mr. Zinn is correct in his assessment,it explains why the U.S. is considered the "land of opportunity." We get what we want and don't apologize for it. That is why we are the richest and most powerful country in the world. The word you are looking for is "hegemony." Yes, the U.S. is the most dangerous for a reason. It makes the economy work! Unfortunately the world is not made to be a peaceful place. Remember the animal kingdom because we are part of it, and the strong survive.
