Remember that time that Iran was a democracy and the CIA overthrew it and installed one of the most brutal and oppressive dictators in the entire world.

Meat-heads.......Chomsky is one of the most brilliant minds. Do Not Post your dumb thoughts here, please. You need an eggrole forced into one of your orfices the next time you are in jail.

"Probably because they are of little relevance."

This is why Chomsky and would win an award in dishonesty if they handed them out.

[chinopisces]

@highwind8124: Probably because they are of little relevance. Not to them, of course. But in the grand scheme of things, its probably more prudent to omit religion during such discussions.

[highwind8124]

Chomsky has a remarkable talent for giving long talks on a subject matter without discussing the religious motivations of both sides.

I like chomsky, but he doesn't really dismiss the reports about Iran nuclear weapons, Iran has no nuclear weapons, they're signatories to the NTP treaty and have inspectors safe guarding their program, the supposed "secret program" is nothing more than a half built building which will not be operational for 18 months, which gives them ample time to inform the IAEA, who require any state to inform them 6 months in advance of starting any new enrichment, they're not in breach of anything.

[hansxxxx666]

Chomsky is simply brilliant.

His thoughts are so precise and sober.

Allthough he seemingly paints a dark picture of America, if you listen to him, you see that he sees a possible solution! See how he feels about the sixties.

The man believes in the american people!

(If the american people do)!

mmmmm eggrolls

[lukeev]

Great point, plus there is an argument which is always conveniently ignored: the very fact that Iran should have a right to develop nuclear power (and yes even weaponry) in the first place, if it so chooses. Perhaps it wouldn't appear so hostile and rightly defensive if the USA et al stopped threatening to drop bombs on its population. The USA/EU don't want Iran to go nucleur because you can't bully and manipulate nuclear countries as easily, N.Korea for example. So the propoganda war begins.

Yes, I'm way late, but, go to any big bookstore. Go up to the customer service desk. Ask them where the Noam Chomsky books are. He or she will politely walk you over to the current affairs/history section. In the table of contents, for any book of his that you choose, there will be at the bottom, a chapter titled, "Footnotes", and a number by it. Turn the book to that page, and get back to me.
