New Clinton email controversy

[Aractus]

Oh! Noam Chomsky said it?!? Must be true! /s

What do you have against Chomsky? Too socialist I suppose. He is only one of the most respected intellectuals in the world, whether you agree with everything he says or not:

"Chomsky raised a different issue: that the US had no right to invade a country on the other side of the planet to install its own preferred puppet government, in defiance of the wishes of that country's population. In the leading journal of the American liberal intelligentsia, Chomsky basically accused America's liberal intelligentsia of moral bankruptcy." (ABC)

That's something I've said well before I ever knew about anything Chomsky has said. In fact I was about 20 when I first recognised the abhorrence of the USA's wars. And that was simply through recognising that the war in Afghanistan was hopelessly disproportionate to the 11-9-01 terrorist attack. The Iraqi was just further disgusted and angered me.

Why go after some Saudi that organised a terrorist attack against "the enemy" to retaliate against "the enemy's" involvement in the Middle East? Why not do something about Saudi Arabia instead? And no I don't mean military force, I mean by working the Saudis to progress out of the 13th century. The problem is still there, and it's only gotten worse since 2001 not better.

Anyway, Obama authorising Yemen to be bombed by airstrikes is just one clear example of a war crime. Let alone arming Saudi and god-knows how many "rebel groups" in the Middle East.
