If that happens, not only will the U.S. Speaking at the 25th anniversary celebration of the national media watch group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, world-renowned political dissident and linguist Noam Chomsky analyzes the U.S. "Across the [Middle East], an overwhelming majority of the population regards the United States as the main threat to their interests," Chomsky says. and its allies are not going to want governments which are responsive to the will of the people. not control the region, but it will be thrown out." [includes rush transcript]. Plainly, the U.S. "The reason is very simple. response to the popular uprisings sweeping the Middle East and North Africa.

In fact, opposition to U.S. So that’s obviously an intolerable result. Well, plainly, the U.S. policy is so high that a considerable majority think the region would be more secure if Iran had nuclear weapons. Across the region, an overwhelming majority of the population regards the United States as the main threat to their interests. NOAM CHOMSKY: The U.S. There are some in the region who regard Iran as a threat—about 10 percent. Similar figures elsewhere. The reason is very simple. In Egypt, the most important country, that’s 80 percent. and its allies are not going to want governments which are responsive to the will of the people. If that happens, not only will the U.S. and its allies will do anything they can to prevent authentic democracy in the Arab world. not control the region, but it will be thrown out.

policy on Iran. It just doesn’t matter what the population thinks, as long as they’re under control. In fact, coverage of these polls is precisely zero in the United States, literally. There was no mention of the Arab—of the Arab population, because it doesn’t matter. They can have campaigns of hatred; our friendly dictators will keep them under control. policy on Iran. The revelations from WikiLeaks that got the most publicity—headlines, euphoric commentary and so on—were that the Arabs support U.S. There is no comment on this. In the case of WikiLeaks, there was an interesting aside on this. They were quoting comments of Arab dictators. If the dictators support us, and the population is under control, then what’s the problem? This is like imperialism. There’s a few comments in England, but very little. Yes, they claim to support U.S. What’s the problem if it works? As long as they can control their populations, fine. That’s the reaction not just of the diplomatic service in the State Department or of the media who reported this, but also of the general intellectual community.

You can almost spell them out. But they’re obedient, they’re reliable, so they can do what they like. Saudi Arabia is the most important. So in the case of an oil-rich country with a reliable, obedient dictator, they’re given free rein. There was a planned protest in Saudi Arabia. There was a small demonstration, very quickly crushed, no comment. There were—it’s the most repressive, extremist, strongest center of Islamic fundamentalism, missionaries who spread ultra-radical Islamism from jihadis and so on. Well, from these observations, you can conclude pretty quickly, pretty easily, what policies are going to be. The same in Kuwait. But that was fine. The police presence was so overwhelming and intimidating that literally nobody even was willing to show up in the streets of Riyadh.

And there’s been a concern among planners for a long time that there might be a move towards some sort of tacit alliance in these Shiite regions moving towards independence and controlling the bulk of the world’s oil. Another more fundamental reason is that Bahrain is about 70 percent Shiite, and it’s right across the causeway from eastern Saudi Arabia, which also is majority Shiite and happens to be where most of Saudi oil is. They’re a minority in the Middle East, but they happen to be where the oil is, right around the northern part of the Gulf. That’s eastern Saudi Arabia, southern Iraq and southwestern Iran. Saudi Arabia, of course, is the main energy resource, has been since the '40s. That’s obviously intolerable. Actually, the most interesting case in many respects is Bahrain. One reason, which has been reported, is that it’s the home port of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, major military force in the region. Bahrain is quite important for two reasons. By curious accident of history and geography, the world's major energy resources are located pretty much in Shiite regions.

And, of course, we have to recognize the importance of that. So, "Arab League Calls for Gaza No-Fly Zone," that’s inconsistent with U.S. and its allies were intervening in response to a request by the Arab League. And then—but in this case, they could also add something else, which has been repeated over and over again, namely, the U.S. Well, to be precise, it was reported in the , but basically blocked in the U.S., like the polls, like the polls of Arab public opinion, not the right kind of news. That wasn’t reported in the United States. Incidentally, the response from the Arab League was tepid and was pretty soon rescinded, because they didn’t like what we were doing. At the very same time, the Arab League produced—issued another request. policy, so that, we don’t have to honor and observe, and that disappeared. But put that aside. Here’s a headline from a newspaper: "Arab League Calls for Gaza No-Fly Zone." Actually, I’m quoting from the London .
