India Will Gain Nothing by Supporting U.S.: Chomsky
Tehran Times, November 23, 2001

TEHRAN -- Noam Chomsky believes India will gain nothing, but despair out of its full-scale support for the U.S. military invasion in Afghanistan. He also siad that the U.S. is the biggest state terrorist country, IRNA reported.
Internationally acknoweldged intellectual, professor Noam Chomsky, from the faculty of linguistics at the U.S. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) said in New Delhi Friday that India will gain nothing by supporting the U.S. offensive in Afghanistan but a "kick in the face," said press Trust of India (PTI).

"India gains nothing by supporting the U.S., since this is not the way that international affairs work. As long as it serves U.S. interests it will remain a friend. If it comes in the way, it gets a kick on the face," he told newsmen in Kolkata in the eastern Indian state of west Bengal on Thursday.

He recalled that in August, the U.S. had praised India to the sky for its support for the U.S. Defense Missile Program (NMD). "While praising India at that time, it had also condemned Pakistan. Now Pakistan is a big ally."

Asked to comment on the reason for India's resorting to violence in Kashmir, he said that the Indian government was not willing to accept democratic participation in the state.

Describing the U.S. as the world's biggest state terrorist country, Chomsky who is on a four day state visit in Kolkata said, following the September 11 attacks in his country, it was carrying on a worse kind of terrorism in Afghanistan.

"If you want to punish the guilty, identify them, gather evidence against them, get international approval and bring the guilty to book.

In this case, the U.S. has refused to accept international approval and had not come up with any evidence probably because it does not have any," he said.

Apparently, Chomsky must have missed the Afghan's reaction to the Taliban's collapse.... Oh well, probably not - he's just a lying, hate mongering, twisted F#ck...
