Re. Noam Chomsky - he is a Communist propagandist who hates America. In his view, the US is the root of all evil in the world. It's a shame so many are deluded by his lies.

I totally disagree!

I have found Chomsky's arguments to be logical and convincing and so have many other people. You must be very biased, or even worse, to believe that many people are deluded by Chomsky's arguments. Chomsky is not a batherer or pot- boiler. He is a scholar of note and his works are well-documented.

As I said before, it is often easy to be dismissive of ideas you don't agree with. But when those ideas are sound and cogent, you dismiss them to your detriment or peril.

Let us see how the world unfold from hereon and decide whether Chomsky is mistaken. My guess is that Chomsky will not be far off the mark whereas Bush and his policies will be proven over the next four years to be shortsighted or wrong altogether. BTW, lest you forget, Iraq which Bush and the neo-cons had thought would be a cakewalk turned out to be a quagmire instead. In his "Hegemony or Survival", Chomsky is on record saying that Iraq would be a disaster. Chomsky has scored!!!

134 US soldiers killed in Iraq last month.

Looks like Dumbya is spending his "capital" faster and faster...

My sympathies to the families of the soldiers killed -- if they had voted against the war. If they had voted for the war, I believe that they will get oodles of sympathy from the Commander-in-Chimp, who of course, makes it a point to attend every soldier's funeral...
