More quotes by Howard Zinn

The term "just war" contains an internal contradiction. War is inherently unjust, and the great challenge of our time is how to deal with evil, tyranny, and oppression without killing huge numbers of people.

It is the great challenge of our time: How to achieve justice, with struggle, but without war.
