Hi People,
From "The New Cold War" on "The Pilger Archive" at
http://www.users.bigpond.com/nlevine/thearchive.html
we have an interesting Chomsky Quote.
"A good way of finding out who won a war, who lost a war,
and what the war was about, is to ask who's
cheering and who's depressed after it's over -
this can give you interesting answers. So, for example,
if you ask that question about the Second World War,
you find out that the winners were the Nazis, the German
industrialists who had supported Hitler, the Italian
Fascists and the war criminals that were sent off to South
America - they were all cheering at the end of the war.
The losers of the war were the anti-fascist Resistance,
who were crushed all over the world. Either they were
massacred like in Greece or South Korea, or just
crushed like in Italy and France. That's the winners and
losers. That tells you partly what the war was about."
How, in all seriousness, can Chomsjy claim that
the Nazis won WW2?
Regards,
Craig
