[Peace-discuss] Whatever happened to...

[Phil Stinard]

Interesting interview with Chomsky.  He doesn't talk about the US elections, 
but he holds his own against Maher on Fallujah.  The best part is seeing 
Andrew Sullivan in total meltdown :-)  Thanks for the link!  I generally 
like Chomsky.  I just think that he lost some of his credibility as a 
dispassionate critic of the US political system when he openly supported 
Kerry.  It was a risky gambit for him, and I was wondering how he felt about 
how things turned out.
