Where I've been, where I am

[Lawrence Bryan]

Ahh, an antichomskyite... One finds them in the strangest places.

"Disastrously wrong" ... since no one in power pays the least  
attention to him, hard to see that any disaster could result.

"most shockingly" Were you really surprised? After all some  
antichomskyites are still claiming that Chomsky is a holocaust denier  
as well as denying the massacres in Cambodia.

"shrill"  Hard to see how his rather matter-of-fact soft spoken manner  
of speech could accurately be described as "shrill".

Typical ad hominem attack. Surprised you didn't add "discredited".

It would be interesting to see where you get your facts about what  
really happened there and compare them with Chomsky's opinion. By the  
way, where did you see a "recent pronouncement" of his on Bosnia/ 
Serbia/Kosovo?
