VIDEO-Chomsky on Obama’s Foreign Policy and the Importance of Activism

Prof. Noam Chomsky discusses the Obama Administration’s continuation of the Bush Administration’s foreign policy (consistent with all credible prediction prior to the inauguration), the ‘immoral’ U.S.-led war against and occupation of Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay’s purpose of ‘creating terrorists’, Osama bin Laden’s ‘allegiance’ with the U.S., Obama’s ‘rejectionist stance’ enabling Israel’s expanding occupation of Palestine, his ‘full-time job’ of activism from childhood throughout his career with the ‘antiwar movement’, the myth of the existence of a ‘free-market’, his history of tax resistance, the differing dissents of the intellectual and working class on war.
