(Sound clip of Noam Chomsky speaking)
"I think that, I'm of course opposed to terror
or any rational person is
but I think that if we're serious
bout the question of terror
serious about the question of violence
we have to recognize that it is
a tactical and hence moral matter
Incidentally, tactical issues are basically moral issues
They have to do with human consequences
and if we're interested in let's say diminishing
the amount of violence in the world
it's at least arguable
and perhaps even sometimes true
that a terroristic act does diminish
the amount of violence in the world
Hence a person who is opposed to violence
will not be opposed to that terroristic act
"I think that, I'm of course opposed to terror
or any rational person is
but I think that if we're serious
bout the question of terror
serious about the question of violence
we have to recognize that it is
a tactical and hence moral matter
Incidentally, tactical issues are basically moral issues
They have to do with human consequences
and if we're interested in let's say diminishing
the amount of violence in the world
it's at least arguable
and perhaps even sometimes true
that a terroristic act does diminish
the amount of violence in the world
Hence a person who is opposed to violence
will not be opposed to that terroristic act
