Paul Jay believes people really have become more enlightened in modern times. He says that up until WW2 Western people really believed it was okay to plunder the world. He believes that if people could get the real news the majority of them would want to stop the wars. For instance, he adds, most people don't know that the US chose Hiroshima and Nagasaki for nuclear destruction because they had firebombed to the ground all of Japan's other cities. They don't teach this in the schools, and they don't tell us about Jeffrey Butler either. Anyway, it's really great to see Paul Jay back.
