Excerpts -
According to Chomsky, in the first battle of the postwar struggle with the
Soviet Empire, "the United States was picking up where the Nazis had left
off."
According to Chomsky, during the Cold War, American operations behind the
Iron Curtain included "a 'secret army' under US-Nazi auspices that sought to
provide agents and military supplies to armies that had been established by
Hitler and which were still operating inside the Soviet Union and Eastern
Europe through the early 1950s."
According to Chomsky, in Latin America during the Cold War, U.S. support for
legitimate governments against Communist subversion led to US complicity
under John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, in "the methods of Heinrich
Himmler's extermination squads."
According to Chomsky, there is "a close correlation worldwide between
torture and U.S. aid."
According to Chomsky, America "invaded" Vietnam to slaughter its people, and
even after America left in 1975, under Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, "the
major policy goal of the US has been to maximize repression and suffering in
the countries that were devastated by our violence. The degree of the
cruelty is quite astonishing." (6)
According to Chomsky, "the pretext for Washington's terrorist wars [i.e., in
Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chile, Guatemala, Iraq, etc.] was self-defense, the
standard official justification for just about any monstrous act, even the
Nazi Holocaust." (7)
In sum, according to Chomsky, "legally speaking, there's a very solid case
for impeaching every American president since the Second World War. They've
all been either outright war criminals or involved in serious war
crimes."(8)
