Empire and Violence

In a new video, MIT professor Noam Chomsky discusses the nature of U.S imperialism as it compares to campaigns of violence carried out by other nations and groups.

[...]

”As long as the dictators back us, it doesn’t matter what the population thinks. If there’s a campaign of hatred against us among the populations and the dictators are in control, everything’s fine. Euphoric headlines.”

The interview is part of a series published by Histories of Violence, a “multi-media forum dedicated to exploring the theoretical, empirical and aesthetic dimensions to violence.” The full site is planned to launch on Sept. 11, 2011.
