Noam Chomsky - Power and Terror [Xvid] torrent

"Everyone's worried about stopping terrorism. Well,
there's a really easy way: stop participating in it." - Noam Chomsky


"Power and Terror - Noam Chomsky in our Times" gives the public a rare
opportunity to see and listen to one of the most articulate, committed
and hard-working political dissidents of our time, MIT linguist and
political philosopher Noam Chomsky.

Chomsky has been called "the most important intellectual alive" by the
New York Times, yet he has generally been ignored by the mainstream in
America. Recently, in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September
11th, Chomsky found himself called upon to provide much-needed analysis
and historical perspective regarding this moment in American history. In
the months following 9/11, Chomsky gave dozens of talks on four
continents, conducted scores of media interviews, and published a book
called 9-11 - a surprise bestseller in some of the 22 countries in which
it was published.

Chomsky remains a steadfast critic of United States foreign policy and
presents his often unpopular, but always incisive arguments based on
decades of research and analysis, ultimately contextualizing recent
events in light of the history of Imperialism.

Chomsky places the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in the context of American
foreign intervention throughout the postwar decades - in Vietnam, Central
America, the Middle East, and elsewhere. Beginning with the fundamental
principle that the exercise of violence against civilian populations is
terror, Chomsky - in stark and uncompromising terms - challenges the
United States to apply to its own actions the moral standards it demands
of others.
