Truth is hard to come by when it comes to international relations and geopolitics. Noam Chomsky fashions an argument based on reciprocal morality, one of the tenets of the majority of prescriptive moral systems.
Also, Noam weighs in on Obama on RT.

A quick translation for those unfamiliar with Mr.Scott’s style of argumentation – “What a total BS artist . Thank God this guy never achieved power as an adviser to anyone important” – Actually means that Noam Chomsky guy said stuff that I disagree with regardless of whether content of said statement is actually true or not, nor will I offer a reasonable justification for what *I* say, but expect at the same time to be taken seriously. :)

The Arbourist ,
I like to think my style is short and to the point . There is a difference between wisdom and cleverness. Chomsky is very clever . To the uninformed the man sounds like he knows what he is talking about . That he is someone you look up to , says more about your dedication to all things left than your clarity of thought .
If you want, I could listen once more to your left wing sage and then rip apart his ideas one at a time . This would give you opportunity to defend him piece meal .
