      @SamHarrisOrg Your inability 2 understand Chomsky is bordering on embarrassing & you seem blissfully unaware of intentions of US/UK power.

      @RyanMoon11 What don't I understand about his claim that the US and UK are guilty of unparalleled evil?

          @SamHarrisOrg The actions & predictable consequences of UK/US policies vastly exceed anything attributable to radical groups.

          @RyanMoon11 Great. You're making the same claim Chomsky is (which I consider false). Or do I misunderstand you too?

          @SamHarrisOrg @RyanMoon11 Chomsky would also argue that we too readily believe our leaders' stated "intentions."

          @SamHarrisOrg @RyanMoon11 we also need to ask: is there a threshold where intentions are outweighed by body count? Would love your thoughts.

          @SamHarrisOrg @RyanMoon11 theoretically, one could keep committing atrocities while screaming "good intentions." That's dangerous.
