Chomsky has spent much of his life addressing these issues, and like much else in his geopolitical repertoire, has shaped/challenged the opinions of many across the planet regarding this terribly contentious corner of the world. <br>

The consent of the governed is largely (but not entirely) a matter of media manipulation: the creation of necessary illusions. <br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Chomsky returns again and again to the theme of United States hegemony and its imperial presence across the globe. For Chomsky these imperial ambitions impede actual democracy domestically and abroad, increase the threat of terror and perpetual war, and ultimately push the species toward nuclear annihilation and planetary devastation. Let's use this thread to examine Chomsky's theses regarding the American Empire and US Hegemony. ]]></description>

Chomsky has been a staunch critic of the war from the very beginning and this book offers many arguments against it. Perhaps we can use this thread to spell out Chomsky's argument against the War in Iraq and discuss its veracity. ]]></description>
