Why not a brief synopsis, so we can determine if we want to go off on that internet chase?

That's not my point. It's not the lack of a convenient link I'm complaining about. It's the lack of any information for me to make the decision about whether or not I want to bother to go to the referenced link.

I think it should be a common etiquette and protocol to provide a synopsis with any web link. If someone wants a bunch of people to go to the trouble to read something, they should go to the trouble to provide a clue as to what the subject is about.

Sorry for the thread drift. Carry on, talking about... um, er, whatever...

Author and activist Noam Chomsky joined Amsterdam Forum this week and took questions from listeners from around the world on Iraq and the War on Terror.

Noam Chomsky is professor emeritus of linguistics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He is world renowned as a linguist and political activist. His latest book is 'Imperial Ambitions: Conversations with Noam Chomsky on the post 9/11 World.'

just talks about how commen sense is not commen. when all the facts are put forward about everything the bush government does. The only thing bush lovers can come up with in deffence of this govenment policys are Tantrums , love that word.

Well hell. That makes me want to invest my time in reading a link. Why don't you give us a glimpse into Chomskys view. A teaser, so to speak. Without that, your post is useless.

All you have to do is listen

commen sense, open the link before you have a tantrum.

invest your time ,you just dribbled words onto a forum . I am sure time is not your problem.


i was going to put some facts down about his veiws but i though most people would know who this guy is and understand{Chomsky on Terror and Iraq},

i was wrong

Sorry... I just thought I was helping.... I'd sat and listened to the hour long radio interview and thought that my link to the 'liner notes' would have helped you make a decision whether to do the same.

I agree that the original post did not provide enough information. I listened because I thought that I may get a new perspective from Naom (I didn't).

The Chomsky that I've read in past has given me a different side of the story forwarded by the mainstream media but he's a touch too extreme for me and only seems to see the dark side of things, which gets a bit boring after a while - IMO

Personally, I find Robert Fisk easier going... probably because he's a writter and reports what he sees.....

hmm, seeing how Black and White things get on this forum, I don't know how people will react to this statement:

I'm not a big fan of Dubya Bush.

I'm also not a big fan of Noam Chomsky (or Robert Fisk for that matter).

gosh, I wonder which "wing" that puts me in?

Yes you were wrong. If you thought everyone was familiar with Chomsky and his views, then why both posting anything about him at all? Your post is therefore by your own admission...useless.

HAHA! Chomsky is probably the most brilliant thinkers of our time, and it does not matter if you love him or hate him, he is a philosopher and he wants to promote thought......anything he says is worth the time.

"Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance,
others mean and rueful of the western dream"

I agree, the other reason I like Fisk, is that he walks the walk.... unlike the embeddeds (who tend to stay in the relative safety of the Green Zones).... he lives in the areas that he reports about..
