Howard Zinn (animated!) on American empire

IMAGE(http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Third_Party_Photo/2008/04/01/1207061862_1363.jpg) I came across “Empire or Humanity?” this morning, an animated video of Howard Zinn on American Empire. It's only about eight minutes long, paced well and visually interesting (and narrated with a dry though passionate narration by Viggo Mortensen). I like the approach--the personal history of Zinn himself as a young man and soldier, and his thoughtful realization that his participation in U.S. bombing during WWII–ostensibly for the U.S. war against Hitler’s fascism–was naive. His awakening to the idea of American imperialism is both personal and analytical.
