[Peace-discuss] Chomsky on New American Imperialism

[C. G. Estabrook]

Of course, it's not an excuse for 'staying' (i.e., continuing to kill people) or 
a justification of aggression and occupation to say that that is the policy of 
the entire US political establishment.  That's what we've been saying all along, 
in the face of those who thought Obama would save us from the Awful McCain (or 
Palin! or the Teapartiers!) - and so we had to support him...

Like Ophelia, we were the more deceived.
