03/05/06 “Press & Sun-Bulletin “ – –There are dire consequences to the current direction of the U.S. foreign policy, said Noam Chomsky in a speech Saturday at Binghamton University. Among those consequences, he said, is a nuclear Armageddon.
“Under the current U.S. policies, a nuclear exchange is inevitable,” the 77-year-old MIT professor said in his presentation, “Imminent Crises: Paths Toward Solutions.” He spoke to an over-capacity crowd in BU’s Osterhout Concert Theater.
Chomsky cited nuclear proliferation and environmental collapse as the two greatest crises that “literally threaten survival.”</i>
Cheery start to the week, huh?
