Hello and welcome to Amsterdam Forum - Radio Netherlands' interactive discussion programme.

Today a special edition featuring the world-famous author and political activist Noam Chomsky.

Professor Chomsky, once described by the New York Times as arguably the most important intellectual alive, is an outspoken critic of US foreign policy. He says, following the war in Iraq, the US is seeking to dominate the world by force, a dimension in which it rules supreme. And he warns this policy will lead to proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and terror attacks based on a loathing of the US administration. He says the very survival of the species may be at stake.

Well professor Chomsky joins us to take questions from our listeners around the world. Welcome professor Chomsky.

The first e-mail is from Norberto Silva, from the Cape Verde islands, and he says: "Could the USA and president Bush lead the world into a nuclear war with their policy of pre-emptive attacks?"

Jacob,

Very well put, but then you state:

The way George Washington thought about the Senecas, isn't too different from the way GW Bush thinks about Al Queda

I am at a loss to interpret. Are you saying Al Queda are 'noble' savages and Bush has it wrong? Haven't really seen any civilian Al Queda and they don't even teach women to read, let alone make bombs...

And to relive the French and Indian Wars in the current context seems strange.
