Perhaps I posted to the wrong person--- I did see a side debate start up about how our media was manipulated... As far as Chomsky,, from what I can see he backs up everything he says with cold hard facts, so cold and hard it would appear that most find it so unpallitable that they feel forced to reject it out of shock and dismay. Nonetheless that still does not make it false simply because the truth is too ugly to look square in the face...

Derek, to put it another way, even George McGovern, still a Senator, was so incensed by the activities of the Khmer Rouge that he proposed that the United States intervene! Before such a thing went anywhere the Vietnamese invaded, which even many Republicans applauded, since Pol Pot was so ghastly. Practically the entire civilized world recoiled in horror, all of the reputable rights and humanitarian aid agencies were calling for action, refugees were fleeing to Thailand with stories that made the Vietnam War seem civilized, and Noam Chomsky was engaging in ludicrous exercises in deconstructing the evidence, and blaming whatever trouble there was on the United States instead of the Khmer Rouge!
