For a linguist he seems to be talking strange here - his choice of words make him sound like a non-native English speaker:

...desiring that Islamabad must stop support to violence in the held Kashmir,"
Support "to violence" instead of "of violence"? And "the held Kashmir"?

"Yes, Afghans had the right to defend the USSR invasion ..."
Makes it sound like Afghans were defending the invasion - instead of defending against it. At least he used the correct word - invasion.

US invaded Panama using this time not to defend the country against "Moscow but against Spanish drug lords".
Shouldn't that be Colombian drug lords? And what's with "using this time"?

"They do respond to public voice, but as they defend the power, it happens occasionally,"
Huh?

"The West want subordinate system no matter it is being run by military dictator,"

You'd expect a MIT professor in linguistics to have a better command of English grammar. Perhaps he's getting senile.
