The Gulf Crisis
Chomsky, Noam
http://chomsky.info/articles/199102--02.htmPublisher: Z Magazine, USA Year Published: 1991 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX8915 In light of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Chomsky identifies two different responses: economic sanctions and the threat of war. He questions the reason for these unprecedented actions as well as what was behind such tactical divisions over essentially shared interests. Noting that policy is dependent on goals, Chomsky illustrates that American action reveals the goal of establishing the rule of force as opposed to liberating Kuwait. Subject Headings |
