Noam Chomsky's statement on killing of Osama bin Laden

[Joseph Tracy]

Clearly Chomsky is rallying some people or h wouldn't sell books etc. World wide, there are a lot of socialists/progessives/Liberals/ anarchists/tribal shamanists etc. who want a more peaceable, sustainable, and economically just planet. For many Chomsky is an eye opening thinker.
