Saddam Hussein is a murderous gangster, just as he was before August 2, when he was an amiable friend and favored trading partner. His invasion of Kuwait is another crime, comparable to others, not as terrible as some; for example, the Indonesian invasion of East Timor, which reached near genocidal levels thanks to diplomatic and material support from the U.S. and Britain, the two righteous avengers of the Gulf.
Noam Chomsky, `The Use (and Abuse) of the United Nations', p.309
Chomsky is so "anti-Saddam" that he cannot bear to reach the end of the sentence without reminding us that US is complicit in even worse crimes. Just as he did after the 9/11 attacks.
The only thing Chomsky is more "anti" than anyone on this thread is the United States of America. |
