Noam Chomsky starts blog, cites benefits of Pearl Harbor
ZMag Blogs ^

Posted on 03/28/2004 9:10:48 PM PST by sdk7x7

The Invasion of Iraq All opponents of the invasion of Iraq -- at least, all those who bothered to think the matter through -- took for granted that there would be beneficial effects, as is often the case with military interventions: the bombing of Pearl Harbor, for example, which led to the expulsion of Western imperial powers from Asia, saving millions of lives. Does that justify Japanese fascism and its crimes? Of course not: there is far more to consider, and I've never had any question that these other considerations amply justify condemning Japan's aggression as a war crime -- the "supreme crime" of Nuremberg.

The benefits of bombing Pearl Harbor? The only benefit of the bombing of Pearl Harbor is that it gave further justification for nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki, you bastard.

People have been trashing the Comments section of his blog all week. I mean trashing it to hell and back. You should go take a look before Noam disables the Comments feature altogether.

There was a thread here about it, I'll go find it.

Saving lives so Mao, Ho Chi Minh, and Pol Pot could murder tens of millions.

No wonder why Chomsky disabled comments on his blog. The response to such an idiotic claim would have melted his server.

The man is a charlatan, always has been, always will be.

Yes. He is a linguist by vocation and a blithering idiot by avocation.

Chomsky is not only the Anti-Christ ..
he is the Anti-Jew.
Something one cannot say about too many people.

He should have been hung for treason long ago.

Only someone totally ignorant of history would believe that pre-world war II Japanese imperialism in the far east was nothing short of horrific. Of course this fits the profile of your average college kid exactly. That's exactly who Noam Chomsky is talking to.

The benefits of bombing Pearl Harbor?

He really missed it.

The best benefit of bombing Pearl Harbor was it gave America an excuse to unjustly go to war with Germany.

You're slipping Noam.

Go down to post 43 on that thread, for the links.

"Voting 2004" is particularly funny, IMO. There's some guy named euph175, doing a devastating parody of a Chomsky fan.
