    Just what the Korean left needs! A guru to focus on to fill their minds with ever more stinking piles of dogmatic leftist drivel.

    Bad memories…

    Kyobo Bookstore Seoul. 9/11 2002. 1 year anniversary of the attacks.

    6 or 7 well placed book displays offering selections to commemorate the anniversary.

    1 is a translation of the French guy’s book who said it was a CIA hoax. 1 a trans of a Japanese book along the same lines. 1 is, if I remember correctly, the Gangster American book. A couple more Korean books along similar lines.

    And about 3 or 4 translations of Chompsky books, and I don’t think any of them were written after 9/11.

    It was despressing…….

    Just what the Korean left needs… exposure to rational, mildly left-wing argument!

    Chompsky…..rational…..

    ….mildly left….

    And the moon is the sun….

    I would love to see someone test this, but I’ve long said, since I read my first book by Chompsky, if I had ever turned in a research essay in college (as a grad student or undergrad) as weakly sourced and incoherently argued as Chompsky writes, the professors would not have even given me a grade. It would have been handed back with two words only one word written on it : re-write.
