Our ideals are based on the idea to "Ideally make more money", so we can buy another Van Gogh, a Castle in Ireland, or a more expensive car or very expensive prostitute.American Ideals, at the top, in a nut shell.

Chomsky is such a spin doctor with a few facts and vast opinions.

Noam Chomsky is a Propagandist. He has the right to be one. He has three very prominent supporters: 1. Hugo Chavez. (would-be dictator)2. Fidel Castro. (Communist dictator)3. Osama Bin Laden. (Al-Qaeda fanatic)Yesterday's failures: Trotskyites.Today's new-and-improved failures: Chomskyites!

I used to be really disturbed by the far Left, they were always so strident, and so wrong. I thought that they might actually gain some real political power in the US. Then I realized with comfort and satisfaction that these Marxist lefties are almost never elected to any office in government. That's why the moderate left distances themselves from this nonsense; they want to be taken seriously and thereby elected to office.

The last of perle's statement was very interesting, he actually made an articulate retort of Chomsky's opinion. And as he was saying what Chomsky actually believes. And it fell in line with all the facts of history, with common sense, with just plain laws of physics.

One more thing. Perle kept scoffing at the 'documents'. The fact is they are part of the public record. State Department, with conent' repeatedly stated', often stressed. Nothing conspiratorial here. Or else a conspiracy so inept as to leave a paper trail. I prefer that reading. Tape was Nixon's undoing, remember. Chomsky has gone to huge trouble to research that mass of material, connect the dots, in a staggering job of scholarship. A conspiracy that scholarship can unearth is a flop.

The word 'conspiracy' is too loaded. It's become the territory of tinfoil and X-Files, the property of fringe groups and nut-jobs. It's no more a conspiracy than the workings of any other power structure in any other nation. The real decisions take place behind closed doors - 'smoke-filled rooms' - by those who actually exercise power. The public receives the sanitised version. Woodrow Wilson said, 'The business of America is business'. By God, he got that right.
