In bad news today, I share with you this 8 minute clip (transcript available on same page) of an interview from RealNews.com with Noam Chomsky, talking about nuclear disarmament and U.S. foreign policy towards Iran.Chomsky's best quote is this, although the whole interview is excellent:
"Suppose it was true that Iran is helping insurgents in Iraq. I mean, wasn’t the United States helping insurgents when the Russians invaded Afghanistan? Did we think there was anything wrong with that? I mean, Iraq's a country that was invaded and is under military occupation. You can't have a serious discussion about whether someone else is interfering in it. The basic assumption underlying the discussion is that we own the world."
So, as my dad used to say, I think it's time we all "put our heads between our knees and kissed our asses goodbye." Hello, nukes!
