<<America's war against Afghanistan is 'a bigger terrorist act than what happened on September 11', renowned US intellectual dissenter Noam Chomsky has said...>>

He should have a 767 fly up his butt and see how it feels.

Chomsky said, "The five countries who support America's action . . .

One of the many things he's wrong about - there are a LOT more than 5 states which support us. NATO has 20 members. Then there is Russia, China, Uzbekistan, Tajikstan, Pakistan, Turkey, China, Japan, etc., etc., etc.

I think that crank has finally lost it. We can write his epitaph now:

Noam Chomsky, anachronism, historical fabricator, traitor.

if israel had been a soviet client, i wonder if chomsky would have ever bothered being critical of them...

("democracy .... (means) private power concentration")

there is truly nothing new under the sun... i wonder if chomsky is a bit naive or romantic or both...

It is a terrorist act because we refuse to go through the legal system. The Taliban offered to give up Bin Laden, but we didn't want that. We want to bomb the country into submission. It is bigger than the WTC because many more than 5000 innocents will die from our war.
