Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Those who think that Bush and his movement can be explained away with trite moralistic or conspiratorial slogans share the same mentality that has driven his presidency.
  • Ironically?

    One of the best explanations as to why such cartoonish slogans find such appeal comes -- ironically -- from Noam Chomsky...

    Why the ironically? Chomsky has always analyzed events from the point of view of motives, profits, history, etc. You may disagree with him, but he does not claim that the US or Israel or whoever acts the way it does because they are just evil, or anything like that.
