Bow-tie punk on MSNBC called him, McGovern, a “heckler” on his show last night. McGovern set him straight ASAP.

The bulk of Chomsky’s remarks revolved around “Just War Theory” — a theory, he said, that modern scholarship hasn’t sufficiently explained. Scholars who discuss the theory, he said, name wars they believe are “just” without providing arguments to support the label.

Chomsky, who spoke for roughly a half-hour before taking questions from the audience, also questioned which historic military acts could be considered pre-emptive in nature. For instance, he said, before Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor — which prompted the United States’ entry into World War II — U.S. journals were publishing reports on America preparing fighter planes that could burn Japan’s wooden cities to the ground. Should Japan’s attack, he asked, then be considered pre-emptive?

Still, he added: “Does that justify Pearl Harbor? Not in 10 million years.”

Chomsky also discussed Israel’s military conflict with Lebanon, the war in Afghanistan, Saddam Hussein’s violations of human rights, and the United States’ onetime support for the former Iraqi dictator.
