テロリズムに対するワシントンのダブル・スタンダードを猛烈に非難し始めた。
ニューデリーの日刊英字紙ステイツマンによると、教授はアフガニスタンに対する米国主導の攻撃を「暗黙の大虐殺」と評した。
「レーガンの時代だけでも米国が後援する中米のテロリストたちは何十万もの人々を殺害し、何百万もの不具者と孤児を産み、4カ国を廃墟にした。」

New Delhi, Nov 5, IRNA -- US Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) Professor Noam Chomsky launched a stunning attack on Washington
double standards on terrorism.
According to the Statesman, an English daily published from New
Delhi, Chomsky in his clearest voice of dissent in contemporary
America described the US-led attacks on Afghanistan as a "silent
genocide", affecting millions of innocent civilians. "They are not the
Taliban," he told an overflowing audience at the Fifth D.T.Lakdawala
Memorial Lecture on 'Peering into the Abyss of the Future' which
included Indian Ministers, Diplomats, members of the academia in a
70-minute lecture at the FICCI auditorium here recently.
"Terrorism is terrorism that is directed against the US and its
friends and allies," he said before reeling out a string of statistics
on the misery of the Afghanistan people and US neo-imperialist
policies over the decades.
"For the first time in modern history, Europe and its offshoots
are the targets, not the perpetrators of horrifying crimes. Europeans
have spent centuries slaughtering each other, but have not been
attacked by their traditional victims," Professor of Linguistics
said.
Seven million Afghans are facing starvation, food will be
available next year only to 20 per cent of the population as the
strikes have disrupted planting of crops. "But only 1 per cent of the
US people knew about the real travails of the Afghan people," he said.
Prof Chomsky, who kicked off his fortnight long lecture tour of
the subcontinent, which will also take him to Pakistan, highlighted
the use of brute military and economic might by the US against
indigenous people in various parts of the world, particularly Central
America.
"In the Reagan years alone, US-sponsored state terrorists in
Central America left hundreds of thousands of tortured and mutilated
corpses, millions on maimed and orphaned, and four countries in ruins,
he said.
