By Noam Chomsky
September 22, 2015 "Information
Clearing House" - "Democracy
Now!"- In a speech
Saturday at The New School in New York, Noam Chomsky explained why he
believes the U.S. poses the greatest threat to world peace. "[The United
States] is a rogue state, indifferent to international law and
conventions, entitled to resort to violence at will. … Take, for
example, the Clinton doctrine—namely, the United States is free to
resort to unilateral use of military power, even for such purposes as to
ensure uninhibited access to key markets, energy supplies and strategic
resources—let alone security or alleged humanitarian concerns. And
adherence to this doctrine is very well confirmed and practiced, as need
hardly be discussed among people willing to look at the facts of
current history." Chomsky also explained why he believes the U.S. and
its closest allies, namely Saudi Arabia and Israel, are undermining
prospects for peace in the Middle East. "When we say the international
community opposes Iran’s policies or the international community does
some other thing, that means the United States and anybody else who
happens to be going along with it."
