La restructuration idéologique aux Etats-Unis, par Noam Chomsky (Le Monde diplomatique, mars 1979) Les doctrines de la religion d’Etat n’ont pu survivre à la guerre du Vietnam du moins dans de larges segments de la population.
Il en résulte une crise idéologique. Les fondements institutionnels autorisant les interventions contre-révolutionnaires de ces dernières années demeurent inébranlés, mais le système doctrinal qui a su fournir un soutien populaire aux croisades contre l’indépendance s’est effondré. Il s’agit, aujourd’hui, de le reconstruire. C’est un problème sérieux, car les interventions impériales, coûteuses matériellement et moralement, sont payées par la population. Les clercs au service de la religion d’Etat ont différentes méthodes pour le résoudre. Leur première tâche est de réécrire l’histoire de la guerre du Vietnam. Plus difficile est de faire porter la responsabilité morale de la guerre aux victimes. Une autre tâche de l’intelligentsia est de réduire les « leçons de la guerre » au minimum.

L'Amérique, « État voyou », par Noam Chomsky (Le Monde diplomatique, août 2000) Le concept d’« Etat voyou » (1) ou d’Etat hors-la-loi a joué, jusqu’à ces derniers temps, un rôle primordial dans l’analyse et la stratégie politique américaines.
La crise irakienne, qui dure depuis exactement dix ans (l’invasion du Koweït par l’Irak date du 1er août 1990), en fournit l’exemple le plus connu (2). Review: Noam Chomsky Focuses on Financial Inequality in ‘Requiem for the American Dream’ Noam Chomsky raconte «l’Occident terroriste» - Le Temps. «George Orwell disait des humains vivant hors d’Europe, de l’Amérique du Nord et de quelques pays privilégiés d’Asie qu’ils étaient des non-personnes », écrit André Vltchek dans l’avant-propos.
Tel est le fil conducteur de ce livre, où l’on évoque des millions de morts par lesquels la conscience occidentale n’a pas été marquée: «non-personnes» des colonies, puis du tiers-monde, victimes de la poursuite occidentale du pouvoir, des ressources et du profit, tuées et rendues insignifiantes. Après quinze ans d’échanges épistolaires sur ce sujet, deux hommes décident de se rencontrer pour dialoguer, pendant deux jours, en enregistrant leur conversation en vue d’un film (actuellement en production) et d’un livre, publié en anglais en 2013 et aujourd’hui en français.
Horror Beyond Description: Noam Chomsky on the Latest Phase of the War on Terror. A car bomb from ISIS is blown up by an antitank missile before the driver could reach his target, near vehicles that had just entered a small village on Highway 47, in Mount Sinjar, Iraq, November 12, 2015.
(Bryan Denton / The New York Times) The "war on terror" has now taken the form of a full-on global war campaign. Meanwhile, the actual causes of the rise and spread of murderous organizations such as ISIS remain conveniently ignored. Following the Paris massacre in November, major Western countries like France and Germany are joining the United States in the fight against Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. Russia has also hastened to join the club, as it has its own fears about the spread of Islamic fundamentalism. Noam Chomsky: US is world's biggest terrorist. Noam Chomsky: A Republican president means doom. In a new interview with Truthout’s CJ Polychroniou, renowned MIT linguist and longtime political activist Noam Chomsky conveyed his fear that the election of a Republican president in 2016 could further destabilize U.S. international relations, jeopardizing the security of the nation and ripped the notion of “democracy promotion” as a driving force of U.S. foreign policy.
“Supporting democratization (in reality, not rhetoric),” Chomsky explained, will likely have “consequences that the U.S. would not favor.” “That is why when the U.S. supports “democracy”; it is ‘top-down’ forms of democracy in which traditional elites linked to the US remain in power.” The Empire of Chaos: An Interview With Noam Chomsky. (Image: Jared Rodriguez / Truthout) US foreign policy in the 21st century has little to offer other than massive military power.
Indeed, gone are the days when military might was used in order to "recreate the world in America's image. " In the post-Cold War era, US military interventions take place in the absence of an overall strategic vision and with ideological justifications lacking force and conviction even among the United States' traditional allies. Little wonder then that military interventions, always illegal and unjustifiable, end up accomplishing nothing more than the creation of black holes, while giving rise in turn to new and ever increasing violent terrorist organizations bent on spreading their own vision of social and political order.

Throughout the world there is great relief and optimism about the nuclear deal reached in Vienna between Iran and the P5+1 nations, the five veto-holding members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany. Most of the world apparently shares the assessment of the U.S. Arms Control Association that “the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action establishes a strong and effective formula for blocking all of the pathways by which Iran could acquire material for nuclear weapons for more than a generation and a verification system to promptly detect and deter possible efforts by Iran to covertly pursue nuclear weapons that will last indefinitely.” There are, however, striking exceptions to the general enthusiasm: the United States and its closest regional allies, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
