Terror, America, and Chomsky

by Rodger Herbst

On October 18, 2001, Noam Chomsky delivered one of the first post-9/11 lectures addressing the root cause of terrorism at the Technology & Culture Forum at MIT. In his description of the adoption and refinement of Nazi Òcounter-terrorismÓ methods, the new military concept of Òlow intensity warfare,Ó American opposition to a major 1987 UN resolution condemning terrorism, and the CIAÕs programmatic training of thousands of terrorists, he creates a compelling sketch of how systematic American intervention, including the killing of hundreds of thousands of people in countries around the world, could quite reasonably have resulted in the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
