Iraqi Prime Minister Is Fan of Noam Chomsky; Invites Noam to Iraq

http://www.chomsky.info/whatsnew.htm

The New Republic (a journal "reeking with anti-Arab racism" whose editor-in-chief "advised Israel to invade Lebanon in 1982 to administer to the PLO a 'lasting military defeat' so that Palestinians will 'be turned into just another crushed nation, like the Kurds or the Afghans'") has just published an article entitled The Case for Staying in Iraq. Surprisingly, though, the piece manages to include a paragraph of potential interest to readers of this website:
As a television in the corner of the room conveys images of the carnage outside, Jafari admits to being partial to the works of Noam Chomsky. Why won't Chomsky come to Iraq? he asks.
