This time, Prof. Chomsky tackles even more US Foreign Policy, particularly Israel and Iran.
Why exactly is Iran regarded as such a colossal threat? [...] Iran has little capacity to deploy force. [...] The regime is doubtless a serious threat to much of its own population -- and regrettably, is hardly unique on that score. But the primary threat to the U.S. and Israel is that Iran might deter their free exercise of violence. A further threat is that the Iranians clearly seek to extend their influence to neighboring Iraq and Afghanistan, and beyond as well.
