Noam Chomsky: US, a Top Terrorist State [View all]

In this episode of press TV's documentary program renowned American academic Noam Chomsky says the United States would be recognized as a leading terrorist state if international law is applied.

Professor Noam Chomsky says that the United States would be considered a terrorist state if the same standards that we apply to others was applied to us.

Do you agree with Chomsky?
