I've always like Howard Zinn and I'm pretty far away from him politically speaking. I'm about as libertarian as they come but I always admired his consistent anti-war tone.<p>I always get annoyed when people don't like the opposition party's wars but love their party's wars. Zinn was always one of my favorite people on the left because he didn't like any war in American history or see it as a "good war".<p>I wish him well and think we're all a bit worse off for his absence.
