You should be ashamed at yourself for posting that kind of garbage.
There is nothing that dismays the Chomskyites more than American success, regardless of the consequence to the people on whose behalf the protesters protest. Better a thousand Kuwaiti women be shipped off to Republican Guard rape camps than the U.S. keep Saddam's hands off the world's economic jugular. Better the Taliban dig its claws into the neck of a nation than the U.S. actually be seen as a liberator. Better that evil triumph, as long as flawed men don't act.
The U.S. put Saddam in power, propped him up for decades, refused to depose him after pushing him out of Kuwait, helped him crush a rebellion shortly afterwards, etc. Chomsky viciously criticizes these actions. The U.S. created and nurtured the Islamic terrorist networks that Bin Ladin is now running. Chomsky criticizes that, too. What the hell is your problem?
As far as I am concerned, the jerk acts like a small-minded, liberal, traitorous fop.
"small-minded" - Without a doubt, his intellect is extraordinary, as is his compassion.
"liberal" - Clearly. I love the fact that you toss this in as if it is an insult. How Taliban-ish of you.
"traitorous" - That depends on your definition, depending on how fascist you are.
"fop" - "A man who is preoccupied with and often vain about his clothes and manners" That sounds like the exact opposite of Chomsky.
Why personally attack Chomsky, instead of discussing what he says?
