To Greg: You appear to be under Chomsky’s spell, which my essay has not at all impacted. He twisted the words and intentions of a thoughtful man, who, by the way, also opposed the Vietnam involvement and did so before Chomsky. As for your views on history, are you kidding me? Or were you educated by postmodernists who think that history writing is always ideological and a waste of time? It is true that it is very hard to be a good historian and faithful to the facts and to those sources that are not hidden away. But you are in your judgment overturning the Enlightenment, science, reading, and rationality. I posted your comment because it is typical of the cultist, and I sharply disagree with your view of Chomsky’s contribution to morality. There is nothing moral in misreprepresenting the ideas of your opponents.
