Humpty Dumpty, that great social philosopher, told Alice in a scornful tone, "When I use a word it means just what I choose it to mean-neither more nor less." Alice replied, "The question is whether you can make words mean so many different things." To which Humpty Dumpty responded, "The question is to be master-that's all." To cover their rears and to promote their agendas, leaders of governments lie. JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton. Dubya continues the tradition. To persuade the American people into believing that Iraq was an imminent threat to their security Bush and his cohorts disseminated a series of lies. The embedded corporate media were only too willing to go along.
Howard Zinn, professor emeritus at Boston University, is perhaps this country's premier radical historian. During World War II, he saw combat duty as an air force bombardier. After the war, he went to Columbia University on the GI Bill. He was an active figure in the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements. His masterpiece, A People's History of the United States continues to sell in huge numbers. His other books include Terrorism and War, Failure to Quit and The Future of History.
