That being said, in Chomsky's case, I think he deserves what Horowitz is dishing out. Anyone who can possibly equate Clinton's bombing an empty Sudanese factory with the WTC attacks, and not only equate them, but actually say the Sudanese attack was worse, has clearly gone way off the deep end.

I would love to argue this point with you, Nadine. You do tend to take half a point and make it the whole point. It would be fun to track it all done and go back and forth with you.

I suspect, in fact, if all that were placed in context, what Chomsky said would not be quite so bad. But I don't care enough about the outcome to spend the time.

Arguing with you, or anyone else for that matter, in which the point is who does the proper exegesis of Chomsky, is not my idea of a way to learn how to rethink global conflict right now.
