Noam Chomsky In Amsterdam ...

Put your questions on Iraq and the War on Terror to Noam Chomsky in this week's forum.

  • Chomsky says the invasion of Iraq is "one of the most astonishing failures in military history".
  • The major powers - with the US at the top of the list - are the main source of terrorism.

For if it prosper, none dare call it treason."
