9-11 by Noam Chomsky (2001, Paperback)

This was not an easy book for me to read. However, based on comments at the UN by several foreign leaders critical of the US, I thought it important that I do so. Also, in reading Orwell: The Betrayal of Dissent by Scott Lucas, I noted that Chomsky had indicated that Lucas had written an "important book." Chomsky's name coming up twice in one week and skyrocketing with a book on Amazon to 4th from some obscure position in the bottom of the barrel showed enough interest from the public that I took the plunge. I am in disagreement with Chomsky's position that America is out to dominate the world. I believe we live in the greatest country in the world and we have to fight like all get out to protect it from those who would attempt to destroy us. I hate any loss of life for our troops; I support our troops; and I wish we didn't have to make the sacrifice. However, I do believe we must and therefore, I disagree with the premise of the book. It is, however, well written.
