And speaking of Chomsky
The New York Times sends me daily email dispatches of top stories in a Chinese water torture attempt to get me to subscribe. You'd have to be a professor or at least a fast reader to have time to go through it all.
Today they're running a story about the International Court of Justice ruling finding, "that the construction by Israel of a wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and its associated régime are contrary to international law."
From the NYT: '"I believe that after all the rancor dies, this resolution will find its place in the garbage can of history," said Raanan Gissin, senior adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.' The same place where they keep Saddam's arsenal of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
The very next sentence: "The United States reiterated Friday its belief that the barrier's fate should be determined by diplomatic and political negotiations rather than court decisions."
