Ahhhh, the other side of the coin. A scathing attack against Chomsky. Good to read, even if hard to find. As usual, it's fairly venomous including likening Chomsky to Lenin & Stalin. Is anyone other than me just a little bit sickened by this kind of writing? It seems like I've probably read significantly more Chomsky than Mr. Horowitz who seems to be rather guilty of just about everything he accuses Chomsky of. Horowitz, in analyzing a single article by Chomsky, is unable to make a convincing argument to me. Comments like on page 2 about America's re-armament and the creation of NATO being a response to the Soviet Union's absorption of Eastern European countries conveniently ignores that many of the USSR's post-WWII actions were likely, in some part, responses to the use of nuclear weapons by the USA on Japan. I'd like to see Mr. Horowitz have a public debate with Mr. Chomsky. (Requires Salon Subscription!) |
