War is OVER!

"When independent-thinking people and here I do not include the corporate media, begin to rally under flags...
When writers, painters, musicians, filmmakers, suspend their judgment and blindly look the aught to the service of the nation, it's time for us all to sit up and worry.

Recently those who have criticized the actions of the U.S. government, myself included, have been called 'anti-American.'
'Anti-Americanism' is in the process of being consecrated into an ideology.
The term 'anti-American' is usually used by the American establishment to discredit and, not falsely, but shall we say inaccurately describe its critics. When someone is branded 'anti-American,' the chances are that he or she will be judged before the emperor and the argument will be lost in the welfare of crude national pride.

But what does the term 'anti-American' mean? Does it mean you are 'anti-jazz'?


And that you're opposed to free speech? Does it mean that you don't admire the hundreds of thousands of American citizens who marched against nuclear weapons, or the thosands of war resistors who forced their government to withdraw from Vietnam?



To call someone 'anti-American', indeed, to be 'anti-American,' or, for that matter, anti-Indian or anti-Timbuktuan, is not just racist, it's a FAILURE OF THE IMAGINATION."
