Book Reviews of Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy (American Empire Project)
Book Review: Chomsky -- remixed!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
It must be a source of constant frustration to Noam Chomsky that he must reside and eke out a living in an undemocratic "failed" state. Perhaps this is his rejoinder to those who would accuse him of voting with his feet.
Appeals to the U.N. Charter, international law, and the sanctity of sovereign states make their appearance -- again. With the possible exception of Margret and H.A. Rey, nobody is better at repackaging the same themes over and over again with only new cover art and title.
Chomsky is correct, in that the strict respect for the sovereignty of states provides the best path to ending international war. Yes, we get it. As for the wars sovereign states wage internally on their own citizens (e.g., Sudan, North Korea, Rwanda, Burma, Nazi Germany), Chomsky's solution is to change the subject. A wagging finger pointed back at the U.S. is the universal gesture for doing nothing, when real suffering is at hand.
