Robert Greenwald interviews Oliver Stone on the new Wall Street, Stone's new 10 hour HBO series, W, Nixon, his Vietnam experience, his interview and doc on Castro, on Chavez, the economy, and Stone's prediction of the end of America, '....a disaster will happen [to America].' He compares the economic collapse of September 2008 to a heart attack and that the patient went back to eating butter. He says we will never end Afghanistan until the U.S. government economically collapses permanently, which he believes will happen when another currency, like the Yen perhaps, will take over the dollar.
At one point Stone admits he "was all fucked up" after he returned from Vietnam and felt so aggressive from that experience of seeing his comrades die in vain that he wanted to use guns and violence against the American government, as did many 60s radicals. He now feels we will need a similar breakdown in our society to change this corrupt American government which he sees as hopeless, but yet predicts a collapse of the economy like what almost happened in September 2008, will indeed bring down this country. I have to agree whole heatedly. I love this guy.
