Mr X is living in Afghanistan. He is a regular guy, has a shop, goes to mosque, and has a beautiful family. One fine day, a country who he didn't even know existed starts bombing his village. His family is killed, his small shop is destroyed. His friends, neighbors and relatives are suffering the same fate. His government practically doesn't exist, he has no one defending his livelihood... what would be a normal reaction to having one's family murdered, life destroyed, country destroyed by someone? Normally, one would say hate, anger and disgust towards the immoral attacker... voila there you go.

What I would like to point out is that after this video was recorded, the RCMP actually did release the video of Zehaf-Bibeau, the perpetrator of the attack in Ottawa, Canada. It turns out that in the video that the attacker recorded minutes before comitting his attack, he started it by saying "this is in retaliation for afghanistan and because Harper wants to send troops in Iraq". So Chomsky was right in his prediction at 2:30.

La raison pour l'attaque terroriste en Ottawa etait que c'est retaliation pour notre intervention en Afghanistan et car Harper a voulu plus de troops en Iraq. Mais le media ne vais jamais montrer que ces personnes ont une raison pour faire ce qu'ils faisent, nous sommes aussi coupable que ces terroristes.

youcreatea I wouldn't say any subject. But he's generally well-read and is intelligent enough to extrapolite a lot from everything he looks into. It's just that what you see him talk about, philosophy, ethics, economics, politics, science...are all intertwined and related to one another in importance.

Do I understand correctly that every atttack from any side is by definition rooted in legitimate grieviances (that one should listen to?). And do I understand correctly that Islam throuhgout the ages only cares about not being attacked on its own land (but never to expand that land?) Or do I understand correctly that for Chomsky every attack from outside the western sphere is legitimate in principle, in a perfectly symmetrical stance to the one that he justly denounces ("terror is always from the others").

@@kreed4 Oh come on (and please spare me the typical "you didn't listen" Chomskian smuggness). He says that the grievances of Daesh "are real", he repeats that several times, but never articulates them other than the allusion to "defend muslim land from attack". As if "muslim land" was a well-defined thing, as if Daesh was by definition cosily at home in every "muslim land", and as if any expansionism of "muslim lands" was off the table for Daesh.

He isn't talking about the Moors, he's probably referring to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan that the CIA funded to oust the Soviets. It's fairly legitimate, because it's across an ocean and really none of our business. US made ISIS. Michael Flynn is a foreign agent and all the Syrian freedom fighters were ISIS. The White Helmets are ISIS. US is a terrorist.

@@BrandonjSlippingAway Are you so sure? Apparently this video is from 2014. But anyway, let's replace Daesh by Al Kaeda, if you prefer. So what now? (NB: "You must have serious comprehension issues": the one thing that fans of Chomsky imitate best is his pompous smuggness. My favorite bit in this video is "You might want to look into that" as in "You might want to do your homework". If I have "issues", I should consult a doctor, right? Any recommandation? And by the way, don't think that someone who can't stand Chomsky (most of the time) is nececessarily a supporter of the Bush War in Irak (or of Satan for that matter). It would be too simple.

America looted and messed up many things in South american countries, all of them Christian majority, but none of those people committed brutal religious terror attacks in the name of Christianity, unlike the way Muslims do in Middle East, The American foreign policy and oil is being used as an excuse by islamic terrorists to commit terror acts, not the other way around as Chomsky claims.

Indeed, that is a BIG one. And even beyond religion, the very idea that any military or terrorist attack, whatever "litteral" or "doctrinal" definition one gives of them, is rooted in greivances that would be somehow legitimate and should be addressed, is a sad joke. One can condemn the Iraq war and a lot of American military actions without this rosy vision of "them".

Only obedient, conformist low IQ subjects fight Wars for the Master Class, like yourself! WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes. I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. The only way to smash this racket is to conscript capital and industry and labor before the nations manhood can be conscripted. -Major General Smedley Butler

what's your point? it's simple: lives lost are lives that matter; the point is that a lot of the lives killed, especially in iraq are avoidable and that there are reasons why, and that these reasons can be and should be addressed because if the shoe was on the other foot, if you and i were iraqis and some big super power comes bulldozing through when the perpetrators were probably in pakistan or afghanistan at the time, i think you and i would rightly demand justice, and that those who wield sticks justify that they do so moreso beyond just, "we've got the stick and you don't and what are you gonna do about it, and that's good enough"
