aristides now in the palm of your. own the color green for the. we've got. the biggest issues did the human voice cease to cease with the news makers. eight thirty pm in moscow these iraqi headlines international war crimes prosecutors seek the arrest of colonel gadhafi for crimes against humanity meanwhile russia calls for an immediate stop to the bloodshed in libya and will meet with both rebels and the government for talks in moscow. the you might need to scrape together more cash as greece and portugal and now possibly spain line up for financial support a fifth of the spanish population is unemployed with no signs of improvement on the

horizon. demonstrators marked a day palestinians were expelled by the foundation of israel turned deadly after israeli troops shoot at least sixteen dead country's borders were stormed his thousands tried to cross over what's known as not a nice day. up next r.t. talks with a radical u.s. anti-war campaigner who believes her country's conflict addiction is making it as much of a terror as those it's fighting stay with us. archie 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 a clinical law professor at northwestern university and director of the children and family justice center. 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.

is talk ten most launch of list to now being a law professor and dealing with children's rights which one of these stages serves your purposes but most i don't think of them is that distinct i feel like i've been obsessed with a couple of things my whole life certainly the question of justice and certainly he swore in peace you obviously throughout your career have received so much criticism . and your activities and actions were very radical group the weather underground. did some things that were you know later deemed terrorist and you say this entire time that you were really fighting for peace we've become used really since nine eleven as an example of american terrorism but we were never terrorists in fact i think the whole. anti war and black freedom movement in the united states were militant had militant edges really were always restraint

and if you look around the world at the time we in fact were practically very restrained our rhetoric was sometimes a little inflamed and hyperbolic but our our actions really were quite restrained the. revolution and insurgency takes is constantly changing we just saw the mideast uprising who could have imagined back before it happened those events broke out a lot of people in the united states were. sort of fearful that perceived 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 right for the 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 loss of history militarily the united states is obviously still in full swing with iraq afghanistan libya military power still what do you make of that and what do you make of these particular wars and also what the

peace movement where is it all this is there a lot of sniping at that well i think that the u.s. economic down and both globally hundred seventy four military bases you know over three five wars 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 and the and raveling of all of the victories of the sixty's whereas the peace movement i think you mainly see the peace movement in the veterans coming home and i'm not sure why that is i think that people oppose the war there's no question that the american people oppose the iraq war continue to oppose it and think we should lead they opposed the escalation in afghanistan they supported it you know the day after nine eleven and have opposed it ever since and and they already oppose the libyan people so i think the american people are not in

a funny way are 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 wars but i don't want you to i don't think we 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 i now. 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 the reality of what happens when these young kids women and men come home and they are the real truth tellers with us and their allies and 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 politically in 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 other economic and cultural powers in the world i think that gives us here in the united states tremendous opportunity as well as a tremendous risk the risk of course is we've seen other countries other empires decline but where their military state is very strong and that is a tremendous danger you can turn everything into a military opportunity instead of as a social and human opportunity. that 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 says it all yes most of us are getting poorer tiny

handful less than one percent of that relation are getting extravagantly wealthy you know you look from nine eleven till today and you say you know yes the people who perpetrated the tragedy of nine eleven to justice there were many ways to do that credit. for an international tribunal you could have had a police action but three war. millions of displaced separations of countries accusations of three countries that wouldn't bring the united states when you were a country and it certainly has imposed a tragedy on the rest of the world with one of the latest developments to the war on terrorism 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 grade of self-defense was in operation here self-defense yes maybe after nine eleven the aspiration that was carried out against this terrorist cell would have been justified international ten years later. invade another country with your military plan and do it. on the other hand we could take this moment i think as an opportunity for peace but really ok now it's time to declare an end to these wars which came at least a rationalization by u.s. presidents was to you know to prevent nine eleven from happening again why don't we see this as a moment to withdraw from afghanistan and iraq just for openers do you think that's possible or is it also possible but this could this moment could be taken as an extra opportunity to really intensify efforts and well 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 the drumbeat now for pakistan you know against pakistan and there's always going to be grand was always available for the military aggressors played seem to dominate and 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 got 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 withdraw from my capacious 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 insisted and i think it's our only hope is

demilitarizing the entire american economy so was the end result your creation was 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 oil you can't say well we didn't intervene in bahrain but we did intervene in libya why . and you had there's reasons why it will stay under it was very terrible standards of course that will stand it's we have the fifth fleet in 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 you to declare a state of war on the us government that is in jeans and you were on the f.b.i.'s top ten most wanted fugitives list and you were known to say that the real terrorist is the u.s. government yes 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 in 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 understand how we thought about it. i think now as many old people do the war metaphor is just so terrible it's just so carol that it perks so much suffering on everyone. that i wish we had kind of kept the rebel. rebellion metaphor instead we're more for the other things that we said and i stand by them about the u.s. government being terrorist that didn't come about long ago from what i read this was only in ninety three just you know decade ago do you still believe i do believe that i think you know bombing from the year in order to save people is a terrible idea it goes bad people don't like it is it terrorism it usually is

terrorism because it's killing civilian people in my case i think that you can call it you know a message of. war and free people but i think that of course the wars of wars of empire have always been wrapped in the. paper and ribbons of democracy and bringing education and freedom to people it's terrorism when you and yes i mean civilian populations occupying the land what does 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 power we're going to do in jordan thank you so much for your time with us today pleasure.
