Noam Chomsky: blogger

Following a recent discussion at Bagatellen, some peripheral surfing brought me to Chomsky's new blog.

His posts have so far ranged from the new to the archival (some pulled from text at ZNet). I don't always agree with him (and then only sometimes understand him), but the man can turn a mean sentence. I'll be checking there as often as I can.

An excerpt to chew on:

"All opponents of the invasion of Iraq -- at least, all those who bothered to think the matter through -- took for granted that there would be beneficial effects, as is often the case with military interventions: the bombing of Pearl Harbor, for example, which led to the expulsion of Western imperial powers from Asia, saving millions of lives."

Hey Joe, am I reading this correctly? I thought that most opponents claimed that there would be NO beneficial effects.

I'm obviously missing something here.

Are we talking expectation?
