Noam Chomsky's "America's Rank Hypocrisy."

"America's Rank Hypocrisy: Why Is It Only an 'Atrocity' When Other Countries Do It? How America's Worst Crimes are Ignored, While We Lecture Others on Human Rights." By Noan Chomsky. Published on AlterNet. http://www.alternet.org/world/155712/chomsky%3A_america%27s_rank_hypocrisy_--_why_is_it_only_an_%22atrocity%22_when_other_countries_do_it/

Chomsky serves as a professor of linguistics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as a political activist.

In this article, Chomsky adds to the over-flowing evidence that people working in the US Government are engaged in atrocities. Chomsky lists events as if in a court of law, providing yet more evidence of people in the US Government killing in America's name.

He discusses the 2004 destruction of Fallujah, Iraq, during which US troops used chemical weapons such as depleted uranium, aka DU, containing radioactive waste. and white phosphorous.

Chomsky states:

"If the Fallujah events are reminiscent of the events that took place in the Bosnian enclave of Srebrenica, now again in the news with the genocide trial of Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic, there’s a good reason. An honest comparison would be instructive, but there’s no fear of that."

From this reader's perspective, Chomsky's sarcasm is ambiguous, and seems to imply a surrender to the forces of hypocrits. As a linguist, he can know the power of words. This reader would rather see a call to action, to end the suffering of innocent people.

"FALLUJAH, Jun 12 (IPS) - Babies born in Fallujah are showing illnesses and deformities on a scale never seen before, doctors and residents say.
The new cases, and the number of deaths among children, have risen after "special weaponry" was used in the two massive bombing campaigns in Fallujah in 2004."

"Other than the white phosphorus, many point to depleted uranium (DU), a radioactive element which, according to military engineers, significantly increases the penetration capacity of shells. DU is believed to have a life of 4.5 billion years, and it has been labelled the 'silent murderer that never stops killing.'"
