Noam Chomsky: 2003 'Invasion of Iraq is the Worst Crime' of 21st Century
World-renowned
philosopher and linguist Professor Noam Chomsky called the US invasion
of Iraq "the worst crime of this century" in an interview with Abby
Martin for teleSUR's The Empire Files.
"It's
had horrible effects; it spawned sectarian conflicts that are tearing
the region apart," the intellectual added. "The very idea of invading is
criminal. Try to find someone who describes it as a crime. Obama is
praised because he describes (the Iraq War) as a mistake. But does he
describe it as a crime, does anyone?" he asked.
