"After witnessing two (probably) amateur kids tie up in knots a major US metropolitan area, causing many tragic casualties as well as hundreds of millions in economic damage, I wonder whether we should radically rethink our engagements abroad, especially in Muslim countries." "My own concern is primarily the terror and violence carried out by my own state, for two reasons. For one thing, because it happens to be the larger component of international violence. But also for a much more important reason than that; namely, I can do something about it. So even if the U.S. was responsible for 2 percent of the violence in the world instead of the majority of it, it would be that 2 percent I would be primarily responsible for. And that is a simple ethical judgment. That is, the ethical value of one’s actions depends on their anticipated and predictable consequences. It is very easy to denounce the atrocities of someone else. That has about as much ethical value as denouncing atrocities that took place in the 18th century." -Noam Chomsky
