Why Chomsky is Responsible for Terrorism

I have long argued that the Left shares the same worldview as Islamofascist terrorists. They both see the same root cause to every problem in the world. The enemy, America/Zionists, are at the root of all that is evil in the world. The only substantive difference between Noam Comsky and Usama bin Laden is the remedy prescribed; both identify the same problem. Chomsky, to his credit, wants to cure the cancer that is America. Bin Laden wishes to cut the cancer out before it further infects the world.

Here is a bit of reader love-mail, a little evidence that the Western Left nurtures the cause of the terrorism through intellectual support. There is a reason why terrorist websites quote Chomsky at length:

hav u ever thought WHY the so-called terrorists act the way they do...
See, there are root causes to terrorism. What is the root cause?
because the so-called "developed" countries hav made their lives a misery n exploited them evry way they can.
The root cause is Western Imperialism. In Usama bin Laden's last message he claimed the same thing. Muslims would not have to fight the infidels if the Zionist-Imperialists would all just go home and stop exploiting Muslim lands for their own profit.
they are only fightin bak n because evrythings out of the west's countrol, they cant take it.
So, Islamic terrorism is a just reaction. It is a defensive war. The mujahadin are, indeed, freedom fighters. Further, whenever a terrorist blows up a Westerner it is the Westerner's fault for exploiting the terrorist's country. Terrorists are the victims, not the purps.
Its time for some1 intelligent to take cntrol of the situation and try n make the world a better place. I cant believ how thick the ppl who voted for bush again r. Their the 1s who'v been brainwashed
No, I'm afraid it was your college professors who have you brainwashed. Thinking that America is the caus of so much misery in the world inevitably leads you down the road to supporting the enemies of America. While it does not necessarily lead you to supporting terrorism as a means to an ends, it does lead you to the support of the ends.
