And in the end, Chomsky is, after all, a dissident. He tends to disagree with much of popular opinion, governmental policy, etc. He is a useful individual in our society of free-thinkers because he is the small voice crying in the wilderness, urging us to have a conscience.

However, none of that, nor his Linguistics skills, necessarily make him a statesman or military strategist. His opinion is no better founded nor more valid than mine, or yours, or anyone else's.
