:salam2:

Al Jazeera speaks to Howard Zinn, the author, American historian, social critic and activist, about how the Iraq war damaged attitudes towards the US and why the US "empire" is close to collapse.

Salaam,

Nice article. I agree with Zinn's last statement.

However strong a military machine it is, power does not ultimately depend on a military machine. So power is declining.

Ultimately power rests on the moral legitimacy of a system and the United States has been losing moral legitimacy.

Inshallah this corrupt U.S. empire will collapse and cripple. This is the era of Revolution.
