In the book, he examines the events of September 11, the historical precedents for it, and the long-term implications of the United States' “new war on terrorism.” Mr. Chomsky stated that the first war on terrorism was initiated by the Reagan administration and focused on Central America and the Middle East. In addition, he raised questions concerning media coverage of the attacks on the World Trade Center. 9-11 is a composite of interviews, conducted mainly by e-mail, with Mr. Chomsky and various journalists in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.

    @@Hector-rn3ff Historians don’t agree on anything, and they certainly don’t agree on Noam Chomsky lol. Chomsky is a one in a century intellectual, and nothing you say can change that. He has read tens of thousands of books, and had lifetime tenure at MIT for having the greatest base of knowledge, and the most analytical mind of his entire generation. He broke the code and gave us modern linguistics. Manufacturing Consent is still recognized as the best critique of mass media since it was written. He’s published over 100 works, and they all have unimpeachable citations for his direct and unequivocal claims. Noam Chomsky schooled Bill Buckley on his own show, when he was just a young man. Exposing every gap in Buckley’s knowledge, and politely dismantling his every argument. And he’s been an activist his entire life, fighting for civil rights and Justice every time he conceivably could. So you’re wrong. Even those who disagree with Noam take him VERY seriously, if they are real intellectuals, instead of know-nothing pundits.

    It's called gravity. The trusses and steel columns of the WTC were not made to hold up tons of steel "descending" upon them from above; they were designed to hold a static load. The amount of kinetic energy produced by the collapsing upper part of the towers was more than sufficient to exceed the the weight baring load capacity of the floors below it. The resulting kinetic energy is a function of speed and mass of the object. The greater the speed and mass of the object, the greater the kinetic energy produced.

The boy pushed this nonsense for decades and now he is completely irrelevant due to his nonsense. Your boy doesn’t care about oppression as long as his friends are doing the oppressing. And as for death- old Noam is 92 and is has become meaningless for decades.

    @@rodneypower9368 I gotta say, not a lot of people call me by my first name these days. I'm honored. Usually I just get "hey you". Anyway, the point is clear. The detailed specifics are not as important as the general trends. This is how I see it vis a vis 911. Saudi extremist groups with close ties to American power circles could have easily bought and bribed their way into the exact locations they needed to be to accomplish the attack. The point is that US imperialism, hegemony and ultraviolence all accross the globe have made many extremist factions (though compared to what most US administrations have historically done to other countries doesn't seem like much by comparison) even more committed to vengeance. I, and Noam, by the way, wholeheartedly disagree with those kinds of acts. However, it's always important to look at the actions of ones own nation. No country in the history of the earth has had as much power, wealth, privilege and military might as the USA. It has used that might to control and terrorize the world for many decades. American administrations are responsible for aiding and abetting (through coups, arms deals, money and training) ruthless dictators and neo fascist governments in countries from central America all the way to central Asia and beyond. Take John F. Kennedy for example. He was an ultra hawk dedicated to the continuation of the war on South Vietnam. His entire family is steeped in blood and misery. There are stories about those people. Anyway, it's just how US power has unfolded in world affairs. But to deal with your main issue. Does it really matter whether Saudi fanatics, or Bush family cohorts blew up those towers? Does it really matter if Kennedy was assassinated by a lone gunman or 8 gangsters working for LBJ? No! Because the amount of terrorism and brutal violence that the US commits against other, often innocent and even democratic weaker countries is beyond imagining. The devastation caused by US hegemony is hard to calculate but lets set some basic numbers. Just in the war in Indo China, the US bombing campaigns caused hundreds of thousands if not millions of deaths of civilians in Cambodia, Laos and Vietam (mostly south but also north). The US directly supported (military aid, arms, training officers) the vicious Suharto regime in Indonesia when it murdered hundreds of thousands of it's own peasants. Then again when it invaded (with direct US support) East Timor. Next onto Afghanistan and Iraq millions of refugees, millions of dead by brutal food and medicine sanctions. Then also hundreds of thousands of people murdered during a war of the greatest military power in human history against the practically insignificant speck that was Iraq. Saddam? Do you know what his crime was? It was disobeying the master. Because all those atrocities he committed were when he had direct support from the US. I could go on and on and on. But the point is this: as a purveyor of endless ultra violence in the world, the US should never ever act surprised when they get even a microscopic fraction of what people in other countries have to live with on a daily basis. And they know full well where the violence comes from! And most people in the world still greatly believe in good relations with America. But when a few garden variety terrorists occasionally commit a smaller version of the terror that is inflicted by the US. The only things that lead people to be so shocked and surprised is utter hypocrisy and an extremely effective propaganda system. The US intelligencia give Stalinist Russia a run for its money in terms of subservience to the state. Please continue researching this. I enjoyed talking with you today!

    I have to say, this is my favorite comment in the whole comments section. “I can’t make out what his [agenda] is or what his beliefs are.” Implicit is this statement is that you can’t stand people feeding you straight facts - you’re admitting that you crave people to tell you how to think. Also funny that Noam does in fact have a plain agenda and set of beliefs here - terrorism is bad no matter who does it, and the worst terrorist crimes by the United States own definition of terrorism are perpetrated by the United States and its collaborators. He also points out that the conversation on “how to define terrorism is ridiculous,” because the United States simply desires the definition of terrorism to be “terrorist act committed by ‘them,’ not by ‘us,’ “ and so the intellectual exercise of seeking a “definition” of terrorism is merely seeking a set of parameters which will indict enemies of the United States while leaving out crimes committed by the United States by definition. He notes that the basis for international law and the international legal system are rooted in this practice, with the Nuremburg and Tokyo trials carefully omitting terror bombings, perfidy, or other crimes which the Allied powers were guilty of, so that only the losing powers would face justice before tribunals. If you listen to the facts (instead of obsessively looking for opinions so you can decide whether this is a tribe you should reflexively denounce or one you should blindly follow), you just might learn something
