US is the biggest terrorist of all, claims Chomsky

THE United States is the biggest and most brutal terrorist of all by any true definition of the term, the intellectual and left-wing critic of American policy Noam Chomsky told a packed RDS last night.

At Amnesty International’s annual lecture, Prof Chomsky warned that the “war on terror” - first instigated by US President Ronald Regan in the 1980s - would have severe consequences if not curtailed.

He said that to mitigate and counter the threat of terrorism should be a priority. But instead of acting to reduce terrorism, he accused the US and Britain of doing the exact opposite.
