Product Description

With his inimitable penetrating analysis and dry wit, Chomsky leads us through the murky blood-soaked reality of America's New World Order-whether it's NAFTA, GATT, MAI and the WTO, or our relations with Palestine, Israel, Haiti and China. The second lecture of this two-part set focuses on the motives and consequences of US Iraq policy-a continuing example of murderous hypocrisy at its most lethal.

Customer Reviews

There's Blood On American Hands
In typical Chomskyian fashion, "Case Studies In Hypocrisy: US Human Rights Policy" is an extensive exercise in wit and wisdom. Noam Chomsky informs the listener of the paradox between America's official foreign policy and the bloody reality of its practice. As part of Chomsky's analysis of U.S. foreign relations and human rights policies, he takes the listener through specific incidents in such countries as China, Palestine and Iraq. This is a great audio lecture for Chomsky fans and anyone concerned with the plight of their fellow human beings overseas.

More Predictions Than Miss Cleo
The section on Iraq is especially prescient. By Midnight on September 11, I already knew the Bush administration would use that horrible day as a pretext to attack those people again.

Mandatory listening for anyone who cares about democracy.

Its ok to kill
if I was not the one who did it. Noam provides a brief overview of how US human rights policy has done much to cause the "wars" we now need to stop.

While the connections are obvious we do little to change. We view the UN as a joke and have countless times displayed this.
We have had a past of funding ethnic cleansing in other countries and it would be foolish to think by ignoring it we will change.
