I remember Chomsky making an interesting point about the killing; how would people be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic, all while thinking they had no responsibility before the operation to inform anyone about it.

how would people react? well if George Bush had ordered the murder of every muslim in the world, then they would be justified. If Goerge Bush attempted a genocide and "holy war" the way that Osama Bin Laden had, and the United States protected him from justice, then they would absolutely be justified.

George Bush did not attempt a genocide though, George Bush was nothing like Osama Bin Laden, the comparison makes no sense. George Bush was only defending his own people. Osama Bin Laden was trying to impose his fascist islamic beliefs onto the entire world. He was the 21st century Hitler. George Bush was on the defensive, OBL was trying to kill every American.

It makes sense because both were responsible for mass murder, Bush's total actually far exceeding that of Bin Laden's as well. Bush was only defending his own people? It's a pity that cost over 100,000 innocent lives in Iraq then isn't it

If Bush's actions were defensive then I would hate to see him on the offensive

If BUsh's or America's actions were on the offensive, believe me, there would not be a muslim alive today.

America has been incredibly restrained in our reaction since 9/11 believe it or not, compared to what we could have done to them, are you kidding" you don't think we could have destroyed them by now?

If you don't think we have been restrained in our war, then you very much underestimate the capability of the US military.

We could have made every desert in the middle east into glass if we wanted to.
