On a sidenote, I wonder if Flame of Liberty thinks Chomsky is Libertarian?

Well golly gee, some legitimate criticism. He's even read the books that he's critiquing.

I gotta admit, he had me at "hello". Well maybe not, but he had me (sort of)until he said roughly "well, the US could have won the Viet Nam War but instead they left" which I guess could be true but it's kind of a strange thing to say. And later he says "Chomsky presents himself as a christ-like figure" which was also kind of weird. Oh yeah and he also seems to still buy the theory that "they hate the US for no good reason they just hate them and to even suggest that the US has done something that would make them hate the US is just absurd". That's kinda dumb I think.

Other than that, it was a good article. Made me think, which, as we all know, is quite hard to do.
