Movie Reviews of Noam Chomsky - Distorted Morality: America's War on Terror?

Movie Review: the truth hurts
Summary: 5 Stars

The fact is U.S.A continues to facilitate and implement brutality around the world and although it's always opposed by nearly every other country in the U.N. it carries on with the slaughter regardless.
Noam Chomsky pricks the conscience of every normal peace fairing person and gives America a few home truths.
U.S brutality in South and Central America over the last 100 years is legendary, certainly here in europe, although American's seem to be ill informed or kept in the dark.
Chomsky concentrates mostly on the middle east, Isreal and America's murderous complience.
If one person loses a life it's one too many irrespective if they're Christian, Jewish or Muslim and that's why to me Noam Chomsky is the true voice of sanity. What's the alternative, being compliant whilst most powerful nation in the world runs amok and refuses to agree to any peace plans laid down by the rest of the U.N countries.
This is a great dvd and shows America's true intentions.
Peace to Noam and peace to peace.
Til next time Marv.

Summary of Noam Chomsky - Distorted Morality: America's War on Terror?

Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 03/25/2003
The hypocrisy of the U.S. government is powerfully scrutinized in Distorted Morality, a scathing thesis presented by renowned scholar Noam Chomsky. Speaking before an intimate audience at Harvard University on February 6, 2002, Chomsky sets fair and logical parameters to his thesis (namely, we are all hypocrites and, for the purposes of debate, the U.S. government should always be given benefit of the doubt) before outlining, with academic precision and citation of real history (as opposed to biased written history), the reasons why America's post-9/11 war on terror is a logical impossibility.

This, according to Chomsky's carefully supported analysis, is because the U.S. government has been, and continues to be, a major supporter of state-supported terrorism, favoring retaliatory or preemptive aggression over mediation in the world court, and avoiding accountability by excluding itself from the globally accepted definition of terrorism. (To underscore his point, Chomsky repeatedly volunteers his sources, inviting scrutiny at every turn.) With an additional hour-long Q&A session (in some ways more compelling, since it offers Chomsky's response to opposing viewpoints), Distorted Morality deserves the widest possible audience. In the short period between Chomsky's Harvard speech and the start of America's war against Iraq in March 2003, Chomsky's thesis has attained the chilling status of prophesy. Inevitably, Chomsky will be labeled anti-American, but at least his morality is crystal clear, immune to the obfuscation of politics and mainstream news. --Jeff Shannon
