Noam Chomsky Vietnam Quotations

There's never been anything like the so-called Vietnam Syndrome: it's mostly a fabrication.

The deceit and distortion surrounding the American invasion of Vietnam is by now so familiar that it has lost its power to shock.

In the late Fifties and early Sixties, opposition to state terror and aggression and torture and so on was zero. That was a horrible time: the massive Kennedy terror operation against Cuba, the first attacks on Vietnam in 1962, the imposition of national security states in South America.

The American claim that the bombing of North Vietnam was directed against military targets does not withstand direct investigation.
