Chomsky on Asian Affairs

[tahir]

U.S. concerns certainly include markets and raw materials, but state interests go well beyond. The U.S. could gain access to Iranian energy resources and markets if it chose, but it is more important to punish Iran for defying Washington in 1979 by overthrowing the tyrant that the U.S. and U.K. had installed when they destroyed Iran's parliamentary system. Such "successful defiance", as it is described in the internal record, cannot be tolerated, just as it cannot be tolerated by the Mafia, to which international affairs bears an uncomfortable resemblance.

American leadership is full of dumb morons who don't have a clue as to what is right and what is wrong.

As the lone Super Power imagine what the world will be like if these morons get their act together.
