New book by Chomsky on 9-11
"9-11" contains interviews conducted with Chomsky by a variety of
interviewers during the first month following the attacks of 9-11. The
interviews were conducted largely via email, many with foreign journalists
who speak and write English as a second language.
Noam Chomsky comments on the the new war on terrorism, U.S. foreign policy,
Osama bin Laden, U.S. involvement with Afghanistan, and the long-term
implications of America's military attacks abroad. Based on a composite of
interviews conducted the 9-11 attacks on the Pentagon and World Trace
Center, Chomsky's impeccable knowledge of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle
East and South Asia sheds light on the rapidly shifting balance of world
power. Speaking out against responding to violence with violence, Chomsky
hopes that "an aroused public within the more free and democratic societies
can direct policies towards a much more humane and honorable course."
