An interview with Howard Zinn this evening on Now with Bill Moyers.
    BILL MOYERS: So, here we are a few days away from that decision and possible war. What do you think is going to happen?

    HOWARD ZINN: I don't know. I'm a historian. Historians don't know what's going to happen. They guess like everybody else. I think-- we'll probably go to war. I'm not sure. I hold out-- always hold out a hope that-- the President will look around and think there's not enough enthusiasm in the country for the war. And maybe when they see the casualties, even a small number of casualties-- maybe my-- and then this is the way he'll think about it. Maybe my political fortunes will decline instead of rise. Maybe I'll be blamed instead of praised. I'd like to think that that's a possibility. But I think it's only a possibility. But you act on the basis-- not of probabilities, but of possibilities. If you act against war, even if you think that probably we'll go to war, because you know that in the past, there have been times when something only seemed possible and yet it came to pass.

Peace Trainer - "Howard Zinn knows firsthand how war dehumanizes all involved, how the greatest evils can be done with the noblest of intentions."
