Nuclear Terror at Home

by Noam Chomsky

If you can imagine some rational observers from Mars looking at this curious species down here, I don' think they’d put very high odds on survival--another generation or two. In fact, it’s kind of miraculous that we’ve come along this far.

The world has come extremely close to total destruction just in recent years from nuclear war. New Mexico plays an important role in this. There’s case after case where a nuclear war was prevented almost by a miracle. And the threat is increasing as a consequence of policies that the administration is very consciously pursuing.

Noam Chomsky is the author of Hegemony or Survival. (Purchase online at: http://www.irc-online.org/content/books/chomsky.hegemony.php ) He has been an IRC board member for 15 years and a steadfast supporter of IRC s mission and programs.
