Chomsky on Geopolitics after Democratic Iraq

Streaming video of a recent lecture "Discourses on Iraq and the Middle East" (5/05) by Chomsky. A first rate account of where the U.S. interests lie, the new Shi'a alliance emerging--Iraq,Iran, and Northern Saudi Arabia--around possession of the worlds largest remaining oilfields. He argues for the U.S. to pay reparations for the atrocities committed by U.S. support of Saddam and the economic damage of the sanctions of the 1990's. Link: http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/272/
