A man to look up to.
Mr. Zinn relized that to understand something like forign policy one had to understand a comprehensive forign reality. We think that by studying the the ones in charge, the "leaders" that we will have an acurate idea what it was like and then we can asses the situation's process of design, implimentation and merits. Howard Zinn taught us that this is not true, this is but a myth. How you really understand something like foreign policy is by studying people--all people. Today the world (the resistance) is at a loss. Few, to my knowledge, have the patience, discipline and love for people as Mr.Zinn had, to research and articulate the experience of other peoples in the world--the ones we'd like to write out. He offered a, much missing, perspective that completed the context and articulated all who were involved to give a true story. He was and is a beautiful inconveniences; he challenged the status quo: the way we use history the way we tell history and not only did he challenge those with power but also challenged those without to inventory our humanness and respond--respond boldy. Howard Zinn lived boldly and i want to as well, join him.
