CHENNAI, November 12 (PNS): America's war against Afghanistan is "a bigger 
terrorist act than what happened on September 11," renowned US intellectual 
dissenter Noam Chomsky has said.

"Like a mafia leader," the US chose Afghanistan and struck at that country 
because it could not strike back, he said. "It was America's military 
establishment that controlled the power centre," he contended at a 
discussion on "Where is the world heading" here Saturday evening.

The United States did not seek the United Nations' approval for its Afghan 
action because it wanted to show the world that it did not need the world 
community's approval, Chomsky said. "A uni-polar world had increased 
America's hegemony," he said.

The large Music Academy hall in the city centre, the venue of the 
discussion, was overflowing with 5,000 people, with hundreds listening to 
Chomsky in the two foyers where the organizers had placed closed circuit 
television screens.

Continuing his criticism, Chomsky said, "The five countries who support 
America's action are all terrorist states themselves" and British Prime 
Minister Tony Blair was chosen to be United States' emissary. They wanted to 
be the international "masters of the universe," he held.
