Noam Chomsky's statement on killing of Osama bin Laden

[Michael F]

When has International Law been anything other than a type or mode of
imperialism? Man is an imperial beast by nature.  Chomsky needs to
reread the Voegelin/Strauss/Kojeve dialogues.  Chomsky sounds like 20
year old who has arrived at an elite U.S. College after spending his
formidable years in a strict, fundamental ideological household. My
bad, he is at an elite U.S. College and he did spend his younger years
in a strict, fundamental ideological household.

He exhibits no theoretical or practical cognitive faculties. It's all
driven by an assumption that natural man is inherently good, which is
dangerous and naive. It works with ideologically thirsty undergrads,
and that's about it.  How did he ever gain credibility outside of his
trained field of Linguistics?
