Professor Howard Zinn

Mark Gordon: "Can we ever have a just war?"

Howard Zinn: "I don't think so any more, if we ever could in the past. The technology of warfare has reached the point where war is always the indiscriminate killing of huge numbers of people. I mean wars at one time were fought between armies - soldiers killed soldiers. Now, and we heard tonight Dr. Gino Strada the Italian war surgeon tell us that the victims he takes care of in the hospitals in Afghanistan and Iraq are ninety percent civilians, thirty percent of them children. In a situation like this, war cannot be accepted any more as a way of solving the problems we have in the world..."
