„Kultura terorismu" Pohled Noama Chomského na politiku USA
'The Culture of Terrorism': Chomsky's View of US Politics

Summary/Abstract: Chomsky, Noam. 11. 9. Prague: Nakladatelství Mezera, 2003, 121 pp. Translated from the English by Natálie Nerandžičová. The work under review is the Czech translation of Chomsky's 9-11 (New York, 2001). The volume comprises interviews with Chomsky, the American linguist-philosopher, which he provided to various mass media after the terrorist attacks on the United States on 11 September 2001. In the interviews he posits the basic thesis that Islamic terror is to a certain extent the product of US 'state terrorism' he presents a purely humanitarian (pacifistic) solution of conflicts in contrast to the expediential concep¬tion of US politics. Although Chomsky's critical sallies are, in the reviewer's opinion, occasionally thought provoking, his greatest weakness lies in the absence of practica¬ble alternatives.
