Tao Te Ching

“From 1964 to 1972, the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of the world made a maximum military effort, with everything short of atomic bombs, to defeat a nationalist revolutionary movement in a tiny, peasant country—and failed... 7 million tons of bombs had been dropped on Vietnam, more than twice the total bombs dropped on Europe and Asia in World War II—almost one 500-pound bomb for every human being in Vietnam... When the United States fought in Vietnam, it was organized modern technology versus organized human beings—including the greatest antiwar movement in US history—and the human beings won.”

— Howard Zinn 1922 – 2010 CE
