thousands. the next hour he talks to bernard the indoor in the former leader of the radical and yet now group weather underground he says america's wars have made it a terrorist just as dangerous as those are claims to be fighting. orci is in chicago sitting down with longtime activist former leader of the weather underground radical group that operated back in the sixty's and seventy's and now clinical law professor at northwestern university and director of the children and family justice center bernardine dohrn thank you so much for joining us today pleasure now you obviously have an extremely diverse biography hated by so romanticized by others from being on the f.b.i.'s top ten most wanted list and now being a law professor and dealing with children's rights which one of these stages serves your purposes the most i don't think of them is that distinct i feel like i've been
12:32 am
obsessed with a couple of things my whole life certainly the question of justice and certainly peace war and peace you obviously throughout your career have received so much criticism of. your a to use in actions were very radical this group the weather underground. did some things that were terrorist and you say this entire time that you were really fighting for peace we've become used to really since nine eleven as an example of american terrorism but we were never terrorists in fact i think the whole. the war and. black freedom movement in the united states were militant had militant edges but really were always restrained and if you look around the world at the time we in fact were tactically very restrained our rhetoric was sometimes a little inflamed and hyperbolic but our actions really were quite restrained for
12:33 am
that revolution and insurgency takes is constantly changing we just saw the mideast uprising who could have imagined that before it happened when those events broke out a lot of people in the united states worst. sort of fearful that the same could happen here on that kind of scale do you think that's possible of course it's possible you know we grown up in an era of american exceptionalism great last seventy years where the united states somehow isn't bound by the other laws of history but of course we are bound by the laws of history militarily the united states is obviously still in full swing what iraq afghanistan libya military power still what do you make of what do you make of these particular wars and also what the peace movement where is it all this is where a lot of that well i think that the u.s. economic growth globally hundred seventy four military bases you know all the wars
12:34 am
three shadow wars i think that it's you know a great danger to the world i think that the militarization at home is also quite significant since nine eleven in the i'm rattling of all of the theories of the sixty's where is the peace movement i think you see the peace movement in the veterans coming home and i'm not sure why that is i think that people oppose the wars there's no question that the american people oppose the iraq war continue to oppose it and think we should leave what they oppose the escalation in afghanistan they supported it you know the day after nine eleven and have opposed it ever since and and they are ready opposed the libyan so i think the american people are not in a funny way the peace movement right they haven't been able to change the tremendous military control of this democracy so we haven't been able to stop the
12:35 am
wars but i don't want you to i don't think you should read in my eyes how much the american people don't like these wars and then i think the second major force people i work with are the veterans coming home because as in vietnam and. as in every war they come home and see the truth about what they've been asked to do and i think this current glorification of the troops can't hide that reality are going to happen when these young kids women and men come home and they are the real truth tellers this u.s. imperialism we've touched on a little bit yourself as well as quite a significant number of other people believe that the u.s. power is dying down both politically and interaction rather with other countries economically where does it really stand now realistically well i think that it's destroying itself american hegemony is no longer to be we have too many rising economic and cultural powers in the world i think that gives us here in the united
12:36 am
states a tremendous opportunity as well as a tremendous risk the risk of course is we see in other countries other empires decline but where there never terry stays very strong and that is a tremendous danger you can turn everything into a military opportunity instead of as a social and human opportunity do you think that. the decline economy is also like a very significant large contributor to the fact that the united states is losing its power abroad just the fact that so many people here are struggling and are not contributing to the economy or the country as a strong force the tremendous acceleration of that gap of income in the united states in the last decade or so is it all yes most of us are getting poorer tiny handful or less than one percent of the population are getting extravagantly wealthy you know you look from nine eleven till today and you say you know yes
12:37 am
the people who perpetrated the tragedy of nine eleven to justice or maybe race to be there could have brought them in front of an international tribunal and could have had a police action. or. millions of people being displaced separations of countries accusations of three countries that doesn't bring the united states to work on trade and it certainly has imposed a tragedy in the rest of the world one of the latest obvious developments to the war on terror is of course the death of bin laden i want to ask you as a law professor under what legal basis was that committed by the united states i heard a legal commentator yesterday on the radio when i was driving home and i was laughing out loud because. he claimed that under the u.n. charter the right of self-defense was in operation here defense yes maybe after
12:38 am
nine eleven the operation was carried out. against this terrorist cell would have been justified under international law ten years later you know invade another country with your military and then let them do it. on the other hand we could take this moment i think as an opportunity for peace really ok now it's time to declare an end to these wars which came at least a rationalization by u.s. presidents was just you know to prevent nine eleven from happening again but i don't we see this is a moment to withdraw from afghanistan in iraq just for openers do you think that's possible or is it also possible that this could this moment could be taken as an extra opportunity to really in terms of friends and well of afghanistan's not going to go well no matter how you define going well it is not possible to win these wars whatever that means and everybody knows that the dilemma is you can hear that
12:39 am
drumbeat now for pakistan you know against pakistan and there's always going to be grand who is always available for military aggressors seem to dominate you know we've seen the united states. people want an end to these wars they voted for the current president as a peace candidate and now we've backed two more wars so let's have an end to this as the death of bin laden should be a moment where we can say yes now withdraw american withdrawal from iraq a patient what are the chances of that really well i don't we don't know until we do we insist on doing we don't know until we insist on it and i think it's our only hope is demilitarizing the entire american economy so why are we doing resulting patients going on because politicians love the occupations i think that they serve the interests of you know. the late empire of capitalism if you will there about
12:40 am
oil you can't say well we didn't intervene in bahrain but we get intervene in libya why. do you have yours reasons why it will stay under a we very well see hundreds of course double standards we have the fifth fleet and bahrain libya has oil and is near to europe and has no air defense system yeah there were very practical reasons why we pick and choose to declare a state of war on the us government that is. you are on the. most wanted fugitives list and you were known to say that the real terrorist is the us government yes i do you still maintain these sorts of statements i think we were rebellions i think that we were in insurgency we were dissidents american dissidents and the classic tradition. you know we were we thought it was possible to join the global struggle of revolutionary war at that moment in the sixty's so i
12:41 am
understand how in thought about it. i think now as you know people through the war metaphors it's just so terrible it's just so paralympics so much suffering on everyone. that i wish we had kind of kept the rebel. rebellion metaphor instead of the war metaphor but the other things that we said and i stand by them about the u.s. government being terrorist i didn't talk about long ago and what i read this was only in ninety three so just you know decade it will do you still going i do believe that i think you know i mean from the year in order to save people as a comparable right those bad people don't like it is it terrorism it usually is terrorism because it's killing civilians. i think you can call it you know a message of. war to free people but i think that of
12:42 am
course the wars of wars of empire have always been wrapped in. paper and ribbons democracy and bringing education freedom to people it's terrorism when you have yes i mean civilian populations occupying the land to make sure i understand correctly in this war on terror the u.s. is also a terrorist is that what you mean that is what i mean i think if you look at the terrorist act of nine eleven which created tremendous suffering and hardship here and around the world i mean it wasn't just americans who died in the world trade center and bin laden's activities certainly made. thousands of not millions of arabs and muslims suffer as well. and there's nothing to justify it's totally terrible. it's also true that the
12:43 am
response of the us government. more an occupation in both iraq and afghanistan are not justified. it's ten years later whatever we're doing in afghanistan it isn't about al-qaeda and bin laden and as you can see from the arab spring the world has moved beyond the arab world was. really struggling for the same things who are all we all want a real democracy not pay for democracy real economic futures for our children living in more harmoniously not being afraid all the time what is the media doing these days when it comes to all of these issues they take the good sense department . press releases and read them as news uncritically we need a robust independent critical media and especially critical of power we're going to do in jordan thank you so much for your time with us today.
