Noam Chomsky: "Bush needs to manufacture fear for re-election"
By Anthony Boadle, Reuters (Link to Indian Express)
HAVANA, October 30 US linguist and political dissident Noam Chomsky said
on Tuesday that President George W. Bush will have to ''manufacture''
another threat to American security to win reelection in 2004 after the
US failure in occupying Iraq.
Chomsky, attending a Latin American social sciences conference in Cuba,
said that since the September 11 attacks on the United States, the Bush
administration had redefined US national security policy to include the
use of force abroad, with or without UN approval.
''It is a frightened country and it is easy to conjure up an imminent
threat,'' Chomsky said at the launching of a Cuban edition of a book of
interviews published by the Mexican newspaper La Jornada, when asked how
Bush could get reelected.
''They have a card that they can play ... terrify the population with
some invented threat, and that is not very hard to do,'' he said.
After the ''disaster'' of the US invasion of Iraq, Bush could turn his
sights on Communist-run Cuba, which his administration officials have
charged with developing a biological weapons research programme, the
Massachusetts IT Professor of Linguistics said.
Chomsky said the military occupation of Iraq, to topple a ''horrible
monster running it but not a threat to anyone'', was a failure.
''The country had been devastated by sanctions. The invasion ended
sanctions. The tyrant is gone and there is no outside support for
domestic dissidence,'' he said. ''It takes real talent to fail in this
endeavour.''
Chomsky said it was reasonable to assume the Bush administration would
try to ''manufacture a short-term improvement in the economy'' by
incurring in enormous federal government debt and ''imposing burdens on
future generations''.
