The Friendship Between Chomsky and Christopher Hitchens Would Not Survive 9-11

Noam Chomsky was a friend of Christopher Hitchens. The friendship between the two men would not survive 9-11. On September 12th, 2001, Noam Chomsky issued his first public thoughts on the terror of that day. He compared it to past American crimes in the third world. And he ends his brief column with a plea to understand why the perpetrators did what they did.
