in a state of civilization,
it expects what never was and never will be."

Case Studies in Hypocrisy An increadible 2 CD set
by Noam Chomsky. This is something you
must hear if you want to understand what the agression agaisnt
Iraq is about (also includes discusion of economic system and human
rights) It includes a comprehensive analysis of the economic sanctions
against Iraq and explains why the U.S. wants to control Iraq. Chomsky
takes the major points of State Department rhetoric and systematically
and brilliantly, destroys them all. He explains why excuses such
as, "Saddam is a threat to his neighbors", "he's
building chemical and biological weapons", "he oppresses
the Kurdish and Shiite populations of Iraq", etc., are hardly
sufficient to explain the sanctions, the inspections teams, and
the relentless bombings and the planned war. |
