Publisher's Synopsis
In this text, Noam Chomsky uses his knowledge of United States foreign policy in the Middle East and South Asia to shed light on the rapidly shifting balance of world power. He makes wide-ranging comments on the "war on terrorism", Osama Bin-Laden, US involvement with Afghanistan and the long-term implications of America's military attacks abroad. Speaking out against responding to violence with violence, Chomsky hopes that "an aroused public within the more free and democratic societies can direct policies towards a much more humane and honourable course".
