Howard Zinn: There Is No Flag Large Enough


How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism?
 
 Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. 
Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of 
 leaders… and millions have been killed because of this obedience…
Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face 
of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. 
Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… 
(and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.
 
  There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.
