Most of my family and friends come from the Noam Chomsky mold. We spend a lot of time criticizing the hypocrisy and outright brutality of American foreign policy. All of them today had the same reaction as I did. As a matter of fact, we sat down tonight and watched a documentary on Noam Chomsky which we had rented yesterday, called "Manufacturing Consent".
In fact, this nation has been attacked in a brutal act of war, and the fact that you refuse to acknowledge that, and seemingly even condone it, strikes me as rather traitorous.
Yet another one of your tired moralistic lashings-out. This is a without a doubt brutal act of war, which I am passionately against. In fact, I think war is too nice a word, because wars are usually not supposed to be fought on civilians.
Just don't forget that this brutal act of terror pales in comparison to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If I am a traitor for caring more about human life than national boundaries, so be it. By my viewpoint, that makes you a Fascist more than it makes me a traitor. The fact that you react to my posts pointing out the massive number of innocent people America has killed without justification, but do not react to people calling for the mass slaughter of Arab and Muslim civilians, seems to underline that viewpoint.
