It really is a step forward that MSNBC are willing to give a platform to a voice like this. Whether you agree or disagree with him (I agree largely with him by the way), these are important voices and they should be heard. Not silenced by ignoring.
Thank you for interviewing Noam Chomsky, and decades of thanks to Noam Chomsky for offering informed and reasonable responses to a world that lacks both.
The Australian minister of Defense in 2007, Brendan Nelson MP said that the real reason for the invasion was the Iraqi oil, sure ... the man was sacked later that year.
Let us not forget this Freudian slip; “It was the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq,” former president George W. Bush said before quickly correcting himself, saying he meant to describe Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine. He then openly admitted with his iconic chuckle, “Iraq, too, anyway,”
Many times I disagree with Mehdi Hasan, but he is undoubtedly a hero for bringing Noam Chomsky to his show. Most News shows don't invite Nome Chomsky because he needs time to explain his views which are often different from others.
I wasn't aware of what happened in Fallujah until now when I heard Noam Chomsky mention it and did some research about it. I found a documentary named: Fallujah, The Hidden Massacre I thought I have seen a lot of terrible things... but seeing this and knowing this is real and not scenes from a horror film... can't find any word bad enough to describe this crime. How could human beings do something like that!? The least the US could do is apologize for it... but instead they simply ignore it!
The United States has spent a few trillions fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just imagine if that money could've been poured into handling domestic problems...
Yes, the extermination of native tribes was perfectly justified. As was the genocidal invasion of the Philippines. As was our involvement in the Balkans. Etc. Etc.
I'll do you one better: Imagine IF academic egghead Chomsky ever did more with his life than merely complain from the sidelines about fields that he has never had the guts to actually work in himself-Which is everything outside Linguistics-Like the worthless armchair critic that he is! :-D
4:35 "The rest thought what the rest of the world thinks..." Mehdi, you didn't seem interested in the end of that sentence (not unlike the general attitude of the rest of the country). The motivation behind the invasion seems like kind of an important point to not notice. Thank you, Mr. Chomsky, for shining a light on the long-term, horrific American hypocrisy, and the completely unnecessary suffering it has caused. I'm surprised you were "allowed" to.
THANK YOU Noam Chomsky for YOUR LEGACY of knowledge and better understanding of our language guiding Society for good or bad. You and Bernie got it right, it was for oil.
I am always dismayed by how American parents tollerate the loss of their children in senseless wars..If it was my son or grandson, I would have a lifetime goal of getting revenge! The war mongers would not live.

I am so grateful to Noam. I’ve been following him for some years and he’s truly a legendary thinker. I wish I could meet or at least extent my gratitude to him.
The premise was to ensure Iraq not invade Kuwait the first time, and push them back to Baghdad the second time - George Jr. finished off what his George Sr. started. Saddam was a brutal dictator, who also happened to furnish his nation with good roads, education, advanced health care and rights for women and minorities. What's left? Maybe a burgeoning democracy 20 yrs on? May be.
The ignorant don't like listening to the cold hard truth. The fact Chomsky is still so persistent in speaking the truth despite all odds is truly respectable. The world needs more of these voices for humanity's sake.
@@patrickgrove3469 Evidence. You don’t even have to read Chomsky. Just look at any foreign press. Especially not western. No one in the rest of the world thinks the invasion of Iraq was some benevolent act to bring democracy. It’s such a joke.

It doesn’t mean anything for the American establishment to realise that Iraq was a bad move, because they don’t actually learn their lessons when it comes to the next issue. That’s not learning your lesson, that’s being sheepish because you didn’t get what you wanted.

@@vitocorleone8323Iraq and Syria were not friends. Still you cannot invade a country for that. Any country has a right to have strong military. You don’t talk about zionist Israel.

Noam Chomsky is a voice that should be heard, whether you agree with him 100% of the time or not, he is truly brilliant. I remember that he was one of the few people that I can recall that was absolutely correct about how the withdrawal from Afghanistan would play out. I listened to an interview he did before the exit was even fully underway, where he was confident that Afghanistan’s military/government would fall to the Taliban pretty quickly. He was absolutely right. He is often right. The only other two people who were on the record saying that this was going to inevitably occur were Beau of the Fifth Column and Malcom Nance.
