Movie Reviews of Noam Chomsky - Distorted Morality: America's War on Terror?
Movie Review: Essential Viewing
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first DVD I have ever watched by Mr. Chomsky (I have not read anything by him either). I decided to buy this DVD on a whim because of the eloquent review below by Arthur Blenheim. Mr. Chomsky gives an excellent 50 minute speech on how we are all hypocritical, not "America" as a separate entity but we the people who do not take part in our democracy. Chomsky details case after case of where the U.S. has engaged in terrorism but it wasn't even a blip on the radar screen of our media. One thing he mentioned which was very impressive was when he talked about how the U.S. told the Taliban about how we will attack them if they don't hand over Osama Bin Laden. And the Taliban stated, first give us evidence, and we will hand him over to a third party. Now when 9/11 happened and I read that the Taliban wanted evidence, the first thing I thought was what??? Those guys want evidence? Everyone knows Osama did it. But we have to realize that the Taliban don't want to be blown to smitherins. Their request for evidence not that outlandish. Before you attack another country, you should have negotiations which we did not do. In addition, we killed, starved, maimed or left thousands more Afghans homeless than actually helping them. Chomsky also talks about Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Now Saudi Arabia has had 1,000 beheadings in the last 20 years, they practice Wahhabism, which is the strictest form of Islam. And the women over there hardly have any rights (read "Princess" by Jean Sassoon or "My Life in Saudi Arabia" by Carmen Bin Laden). But why have we supported Saudi Arabia since its inception? Because they have 40% of the world's oil and we sure as heck don't want anyone else getting their hands on it (speaking from point of view of the government).
After the 50-minute speech, there is a lively question and answer session. Chomsky seems like an extremely intelligent and articulate man. He states over and over - guys this information is not hidden, you can learn all of this with a few clicks of your mouse. Why people don't do it, I have no idea. This DVD is absolutely essential viewing for every American.
