Noam Chomsky: The US is the world’s leading terrorist state

[anon45]

Usually, you go after the message, not the messenger. But in Chomsky's case, his contradictions are so egregious that he is an exception to the rule.

true...

Hmm too much to comment on, but would love to see the commander in chief put on trial for the death of the inmate from hypothermia in a CIA prison. Too many double standards should at least stop America from talking about violations by other regimes and concentrate on their own human rights records.

So by your own argument the Bangladesh government is repressive and the US government is not. In that case what are you arguing about?

Just how is that? I said if he was so sure of freedom of speech in the US he should try speaking for a representative government in SA for that won't take long to land him at Guantanamo Bay. Now, how does that statement indicate that there is freedom of speech in the US but not in BD?

Chomsky seems perfectly free to say anything he wants. His liberty, livelihood or happiness is not being curtailed in any way. Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, novelists escape into exile, bloggers are hacked to pieces, champions of freedom of speech rot in prison.

In my previous post I've explained why!

Again, it is not the responsibility of the US Government to protect the freedom of Bangladeshis or Pakistanis or anyone else living in their own country. Your own government needs to do that. If your national government is too venal, incompetent or stupid to do so, you have only yourself to blame not a country 10000 miles away.

Bangladesh or Pakistan does not claim to be the intrenational champion of freedom of speech but the US government does, I hope you have the brain to understand what it implies!

I don't think Noam Chomsky could have made this claim while sitting in USA, if United States were the leading terrorist state.

The country that he criticizes keeps him safe and grants him the freedom to speak his mind. Quite ironic in a way.

The state does not keep him safe, he has influential people behind him. Have you heard about Schindler in Nazi Germany? It's like that.

Yes, USA is even worse than Nazi Germany. People disappear all the time.

For a Muslim who wants democracy in places like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE or Egypt, it's a dangerous place. If you don't believe it, try it, write an article on that topic and send it to the US media.

Why should I worry about Saudi Arabia or UAE? It is up to those people themselves to work on whatever type of government they want.

Just to prove your faith in the 'US freedom of speech' but I can see that you have started to blink. So, please keep it low, keep it to yourself.

LOL. I am respecting the right of Saudis and Emiratis to choose their own government. What has that to do with freedom of speech in USA?

Is freedom of speech in America limited to talking about freedom of speech in Russia and Iran?

I don't know. Please inform us what truly happens in USA.
