Amazing and well worth the 34 minutes.

Have listened to part; will listen to the rest. Chomsky is still an advocate, but history has handed him a better case to make than he's enjoyed sometimes....

Good to hear from you, VP! Greetings of the Season!

Thank you! I hope you had some relaxing Holidays.

As I was listening to it, I felt in my gut and from experience, that everything he was saying is accurate.

I also listened to a 2 hour debate on the Israel/Palestinian conflict between him and Alan Dershowitz. I have never seen Noam get so heated.

Well, you can see what I did for my holidays.

That sounds like self-inflicted torture. Five minutes of Dershowitz is enough to make me want to stick sharp objects in my ears.

Yup, Alan was pretty nasty but there were some excellent questions from both sides during the Q & A.
