Reply #27: Moral ambiguity is so tricky to deal with. [View All]

One is not in fact required to address all wrongs at the
same time in order to escape the charge of hypocrisy. The
choice between removing Saddam and leaving Saddam in place
is a choice between two evils, and the means one employs if
one chooses the former has a good deal to do with the how one
must assess the result.

This fellow is an idiot. He makes two out of two false statements
in the first paragraph. The "left" thought the world of Hitler
during the Hitler-Stalin pact during WWII, for instance, and the
"left" was absolutely adoring of Stalin, who has as good a genocidal
record as anyone in History.

Chomsky has his flaws, but this fellow fails to find them.
