new book on terrorism & Cuba
Cuba in the Cross-Hairs: A Near Half-Century of Terror
Date: Friday, October 24 @ 20:38:44 AST Topic: Cuba by Noam Chomsky, TomDispatch.com Now that the Bush administration, pursuing its "war against terrorism," has once again elevated Cuba into America's cross-hairs as a newly anointed member of the Axis of Evil, it seems like a good moment to consider the question of terrorism and Cuba. Noam Chomsky takes up this matter in his new book, 'Hegemony or Survival, America's Quest for Global Dominance', and a long, chilling excerpt from that book is included below (with his kind permission). No one has written more powerfully or consistently on the subject of state violence and state terror or reminded us more powerfully or consistently that "terror" isn't primarily what small stateless bands of fanatics deliver to large and powerful states. History is, in a sense, a history of state terror and the United States has been a practitioner of the form, in the case of Cuba, as Chomsky shows, with unrelenting perseverance and relish for nearly half a century. -- Tom Engelhardt read the very interesting excerpt here: http://www.trinicenter.com/modules.p...=print&sid=522 |
