This really is a gem of a book.

It consists of a series of interviews conducted post 9-11.

Chomsky's analysis regarding the events of 9-11 and their implications is eerily prophetic.

He delves deep into the various aspects, providing insights that are both thought-provoking and eye-opening.

This book stands out as the best among those discussing this matter.

What makes it even more mind-blowing is that these interviews were conducted more than a decade ago.

Despite the passage of time, the ideas and perspectives presented in the book remain highly relevant and applicable.

It serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex web of events and their far-reaching consequences.

Whether you are a student, a researcher, or simply someone curious about the world we live in, this book is a must-read.

It offers a unique and alternative view that challenges the mainstream narrative and forces us to think critically about what really happened on 9-11 and its impact on our lives.

I believe that there is no need to discuss or follow up on what Noam Chomsky writes in his specialization. It is enough to read and try to continue reading despite the huge amount of facts and information that Chomsky presents each time.

Analyzing terrorism... in the Chomskian way...

Chomsky's works are often complex and filled with in-depth analysis. His ideas on various topics, including terrorism, are thought-provoking. When reading his writings, one has to be prepared to engage with a wealth of detailed information.

However, it is important to approach his work with an open mind and a critical eye. While Chomsky may offer valuable insights, it is also necessary to consider other perspectives and interpretations.

By reading Chomsky and attempting to understand his ideas, we can gain a deeper understanding of the issues at hand and perhaps even develop our own unique perspectives.

In conclusion, although it may be challenging to read Chomsky, it is well worth the effort for those who are interested in exploring complex topics and expanding their intellectual horizons.

Good analysis, which I had expected.

Unfortunately, as with much of Professor Chomsky's work, few alternatives are actually presented. What I mean by that is that he offers ways in which the world governments could have done differently. However, he doesn't really address how the sociopolitical landscape and, by extension, those most dedicated to changing it could achieve that.

It's not that I expect any one person to lead any series of disconnected movements. Moreover, since most of these essays are a decade old, and knowing how he has perceived the aftermath over the last few years, it was insightful to read his thoughts for the sake of intellectual discovery.

His work provides a valuable perspective on the state of the world and the actions that could have been taken. While it may not offer comprehensive solutions, it does encourage us to think critically about the current sociopolitical situation and consider alternative ways forward.

Perhaps in future works, Professor Chomsky will expand on his ideas and offer more practical suggestions for those looking to effect change. In the meantime, his existing work remains an important contribution to the field of political science and a source of inspiration for those interested in social justice and political reform.

Although I strongly disagree with the majority of the content compiled in this pamphlet, I still award this book 3 stars. The reason is that it offers a unique perspective on the positions that the far Left adopts in discussions regarding American and Western foreign policy. It should be noted that there are indeed differences within the Left on such matters. For example, Noam Chomsky is against practically all American and Western interventions, while Juan Cole is in favor of some, like the one in Libya. I find that this book provides a rough outline of the outer crust of what can be considered a respectable discussion, at least from the Left's perspective. However, if one delves a bit deeper, they will find themselves in the realm of conspiracy theories, where some people believe that 9/11 was orchestrated by the Bush Administration and that the New World Order is conspiring to impose its global agenda on the international public through the media and "chemtrails".

Most of the predictions presented in this book have been disproven or are simply objectively false. For instance, the claim of a "silent genocide" that was supposed to occur shortly after the US invasion of Afghanistan never materialized. Similarly, attributing the culpability for the 1985 Beirut bombing to the Reagan Administration is also untrue.

So, for me, I only went so far as to "like" this book because Chomsky sometimes seemed a bit disingenuous in covering up an inability to corroborate certain claims with evidence or facts.

Nevertheless, I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to gain a better understanding of how some on the Left view Western and US actions abroad, at least in some places and at some times.
