Professor of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the author, most recently, of Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance.

It is facts and actions that define the real temper of a politician, in this case Barack Obama. This is precisely what is bewildering many an intellectual or political analyst, considering that Obama has gone back on most of the promises formulated during his electoral campaign: Guantanamo’s closure, military withdrawal from Iraq and many others. Acclaimed scholar Noam Chomsky offers his observations on this issue.

You thought that Barack Obama would bring about political change in the United States. Until now, everything would indicate that the opposite is true. We are seeing the same power groups reappearing behind the President, influential people who are guiding him from the wings and flanking him with the advisers required to ensure the good functioning of the established imperial and oligarchical order. Barack Obama has turned out to be his own best actor. Professor Noam Chomsky endorses this analysis, in the same way as Professor James Petras, soldier Jimmy Massey and the historian Webster Tarpley have done through their personal contributions.

The United States justify their foreign policy by their concern of promoting democracy. Yet, they support this latter only when it fits in with their interests and fight it the rest of the time. Basing on the examples of Iraq, Iran and Palestine, the professor Noam Chomsky analyses this double standard policy.
