Chomsky on Western attitudes about Arabs & terrorism

Noam Chomsky has written extensively on the issue of terrorism, particularly state terrorism in book such as Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy and Power and Terror: Conflict, Hegemony and the Rule of Force.

Seven Stories Press has just re-released his book 9/11 (with new chapters), a book that provided important analysis to counter the post – 9/11 cacophony that the US was attacked because the rest of the world hates democracy.

In this video by the British news agency The Guardian, Chomsky talks about Arabs, terrorism and state power. Chomsky is utilized by the foreign press on a regular basis, unlike the US press, which should tell us something about how the commercial media in this country operates.
