her er noe av Noam Chomsky (22. aug 98) om USAs bombing av Sudan og
Afghanistan:
"...On the bombings, there's a lot to say, but it can be reduced to a very
simple question: Do we, or do we not, take seriously the position of the
Administration in justifying them.
If we do, then it follows that quite a few countries around the world
should be setting off bombs in Washington. Take just the most obvious,
Cuba, which has been probably the main target of terrorism for almost 40
years, based in the US, for much of the time officially authorized and run
by the US government. The most recent successful terrorist attack was a
year ago, bombing of tourist
centers in Havana that killed an (Italian) visitor, wounded others, and
caused plenty of damage. As has been well known (to those who chose to
know) since the extensive Miami Herald investigation last Fall, the
bombings were run by the world's leading terrorist, Luis Posada Carriles,
whose CIA connections go back to the Bay of Pigs, with financing and
direction from Miami. Even the New York Times has recently conceded the
facts (pretending it discovered them). If the US is entitled to bomb
Afghanistan and Sudan on suspicions that people there are involved in
terrorism or preparation of chemical weapons, then, obviously, Cuba is
entitled to bomb Washington. That's only the first of a
long list.
Plainly, we cannot assume that the Administration position is intended
seriously, which means that commentators who are taking it seriously can be
assigned to the noble order that includes the writers for Pravda, the Nazi
press, and others like them."
