Anniversary

[Marc Rodrigues]

i may be slightly off here, but i think chomsky is in the habit of saying
something like this at a lot of his speaking events, referring to some
random u.s. atrocity, eithe rin the past or ongoing:

"we were responsible for this, and by we i mean people like you and me
(or the people sitting in this room)."

i think people in the U.S. do in fact benefit from the political and
especially economic domination of the u.s. over the world.  would it
be possible for us to have our standard of living if not for the exploitation
of much of the world?  and of course, when i say "us" a lot of people
are not included, such as the millions in the u.s. who suffer from abject
poverty and hunger.

"Why should there be one standard for one country, especially because
it is black, and another one for another country, Israel, that is white?..
the attitude of the United States of America is a threat to world peace."
