I heard Chomsky interviewed about the air war against Serbia and his main point was that the US intervention was with "unclean hands" ---
Remember, in American Power and the New Mandarins, he wrote an essay in which he supported the "REVOLUTIONARY PACIFISM OF A.J. MUSTE" during WW II arguing that the Pacific War (not the fight against the Nazis in Europe) was an old fashioned imperialist power grab and not a war of liberation -- and of course he was proven right when the French immediately began a war against the Viet Minh and the US abandoned their Viet Minh allies from WW II (the Viet Minh had risked their lives saving American pilots shot down during WW II) and the US began a war against the Huks in the Philipiines --- and the British killed all the communists in Malaya .... -- he acknowledged in that essay that it was the TOUGHEST argument to defend pacifism in the context of WW II --- I think that was what informed him in the Bosnian intervention --- -- he remained consistent for his entire life. He said MIT should be allowed to do defense consultations if it wanted to --- he opposed the censorship of Faurisson for denying the holocaust --- (getting lots of flack for that) He marched to his own drummer and should be celebrated for that On Sun, Jun 23, 2024 at 6:43 PM gojko rakic via groups.io <gojkor= [email protected]> wrote: > I would like Michael to write more about Chomsky's writing about > Yugoslavia ( not just "eg Chomsky on the Balkans") especially about the > war in Bosnia and I agree with Micheal that Chomsky did not understand what > was happening there but he talked a lot about it especially about > Srebrenica never acknowledging that Srebrenica was just a final stage of > ethnic cleansing in Bosnia by Serbian armed forces. > > > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
