4. Another Noam Chomsky Prediction of Doom?! Wow, colored me surprised

I've read many Chomsky articles and books, as well as watched his interviews. Yes, Noam - America is the greatest Evil on God's Earth Since Sodom and Gommorah, we're the world's biggest terrorists, yadda yadda. Take off the sackcloths and wipe the ceremonial ashes off your face - the shtick is getting really old.

Noam Chomsky and others have been playing Cassandra since the end of Vietnam - spelling doom because of US Imperialism. The question is - how long are we going to keep buying the books and hearing the speeches before we actually come up with a constructive plan to do something about it? Life's too short to sit around pontificating. Noam Chomsky has made a pretty penny playing the 'weeping prophet' , but our world needs more than secular Jeremiahs.
