Radovan Karadzic's conviction for genocide and war crimes brings to mind the US's disastrous "humanitarian Intervention" in Bosnia and Serbia in the 1990s--and more recent disastrous interventions in Libya and Syria. In almost every case in recent history, "humanitarian intervention" has been a pretext for aggression by a major power. Brief reflections by KD are followed by a fine talk, on the same subject, by NOAM CHOMSKY.
Chomsky spoke in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in early October, 2013. Recording courtesy of Chuck Rosina. (Thanks yet again.) I have snipped out a few stumbles; the talk is otherwise uncut.
"New World Notes" is produced under the auspices (Latin for "Executive Dining Room") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
