Noam Chomsky’s Reaction to bin Laden Death

Here.

From the last paragraph:

Same with the name, Operation Geronimo. The imperial mentality is so profound, throughout western society, that no one can perceive that they are glorifying bin Laden by identifying him with courageous resistance against genocidal invaders. It’s like naming our murder weapons after victims of our crimes: Apache, Tomahawk… It’s as if the Luftwaffe were to call its fighter planes “Jew” and “Gypsy.”

The article has, as one might imagined, drawn some criticism, though it is from also someone who pretty much criticizes everything.
