2:32 pm
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 the state and i feel like i've been 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 activities and actions were very radical this group the weather underground. some things that were you know later 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. and she war and. black freedom movement in the united states were militant had militant edges but really were always
2:33 pm
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 the. it 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 or last seventy years where the united states somehow isn't around by the other laws of history but of course we are bound by the rights of history militarily the united states is obviously still in full swing with the rocks i've got to stand libya military power still what do you make of what do you make of these particular wars and also what the
2:34 pm
peace movement where is it i know this is there a lot of people that well i think that the u.s. economic down and spoke with globally hundred seventy four military bases you know over three live wars three shadow wars i think that it's you know a great danger to the world i think at the militarisation at home is also quite significant since nine eleven and the and rattling of all of the theories of the sixty's where is 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 wars there's no question that the american people oppose the iraq war continue to oppose it and think we should leave 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 already opposed the libyan. so i think the american people are not in
2:35 pm
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 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 the reality of what happens when these young kids are men and come home and they are the real truth tellers with us imperialism we've touched upon 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 with other countries economically where does it really stand now it was well i think it's destroying
2:36 pm
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 states a 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 stays very strong and there is a tremendous danger you can turn everything into a military opportunity instead of as a social and human opportunity do you think that. 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 the gap of income in the united states in the last decade says it all yes most of us are getting poorer i tiny
2:37 pm
handful who are less than one percent of the pack relation are getting extravagantly wealthy you know you look from nine eleven till today and you say you know yes people who perpetrated the tragedy of nine eleven to justice there are many ways to be there could have brought them in front of an international tribunal could have had a police action but three war. millions of people being displaced separations of countries accusations of three countries that doesn't bring the united country in and 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
2:38 pm
out loud because. he claimed that under the u.n. charter the right of self-defense was in operation here self-defense yes maybe after nine eleven the operation was carried out against this terrorist cell would have been justified under international ten years later you know invade another country with your military and land them and 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 to you know to prevent nine eleventh's from happening again why don't we see this is a moment to withdraw from afghanistan and iraq just for 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 intensify efforts in
2:39 pm
a 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 drumbeat now for pakistan you know against pakistan and there's always going to be grand was always available for military aggressors seem to dominate the airwaves and the united states. people one and into these waters 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 this this the death of bin laden should be a moment where we can say yes now withdraw american withdraw from occupation 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
2:40 pm
demilitarizing the entire american economy so why are you doing resulting patients going on it's 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 . i mean you have your reasons why it will serials very terrible standards of course double standards we have the fifth fleet and bahrain and 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. you were on the f.b.i.'s. 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 an insurgency we were dissidents american
2:41 pm
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 understand how we thought about it. i think now as many old people who were metaphor is just so terrible it's just so carol that inflicts so much suffering on everyone. that i wish we had kind of kept that rebel. rebellion metaphor instead of war america but the other things that we said and i stand by them about the u.s. government being terrorists but i do recall that 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 i mean from the year in order to save people is a terrible idea if it was bad people don't like it is it terrorism it usually is
2:42 pm
terrorism because it's killing civilians people in my numbers i think that you can call it you know a message of. war to free people i think that of course the wars of wars of empire have always been wrapped in the in the paper and ribbons of democracy and bringing education and freedom to people it's terrorism when you 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 defense 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 endure and thank you so much for your time and just pleasure.
