Chomsky on Iraq
There's a good interview with Noam Chomsky (cue the boos from some corners) on ZNet about the Iraq war. Particularly, I thought this was a nice way of putting the issue of WMDs:
Question: There have been no wmd found. Does this retrospectively undercut Bush's rationales for war?How true.
Answer: Only if one takes the rationale seriously. The leadership still pretends to, as Fleischer's current remarks illustrate. If they can find something, which is not unlikely, that will be trumpeted as justification for the war. If they can't, the whole issue will be "disappeared" in the usual fashion.
