Noam Chomsky, a Jewish intellectual and author, strongly criticizes Western civilization and American policies, stating:
"The attitude of violence and supremacy has become so deeply ingrained in the Western mindset that it can no longer be separated from it."
In his book "What Uncle Sam Really Wants", Chomsky highlights the history of America and its imperialist policies. He explains how America forcibly captured African slaves from their native lands, transported them under inhumane conditions, and compelled them to work in cotton fields. In some cases, slaves had their toes amputated to keep them under control.
① World War I & II: Millions perished, and atomic bombings were carried out on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

③ Iraq and Afghanistan: Attacks were launched on the basis of false allegations, leading to the deaths of millions of innocent people.
✔ Support for Dictators: The U.S. has consistently supported the most oppressive authoritarian regimes for its own interests.
✔ Example of Chile: A democratically elected government was overthrown.
✔ Example of Algeria: An Islamic party was deprived of power and subjected to severe oppression.
✔ World War I: Involved 16 countries with over 8.5 million deaths.
✔ World War II: Involved 27 countries, resulted in 80 million deaths, including the inhumane atomic bombings.

② Weapons of mass destruction were nonexistent in Iraq.
③ Post-war planning was inadequate.
④ The UK disregarded UN authority.
⑤ Tony Blair assured complete support to U.S. President George W. Bush.
✔ Post-9/11 Policies: The U.S. attacked Afghanistan and Iraq, spending billions, yet left the world even more unsafe.
✔ Division of Muslim Nations: American strategies have pushed the Middle East into civil wars and chaos.
✔ Cultural Warfare: Through investments in education and culture, America has brought Muslim societies to the brink of immorality and ethical destruction.
✔ Solution to Today’s Global Issues: Islamic and Western civilizations must be allowed to freely contribute to the human society.
✔ Need for Justice: Both civilizations should be given equal opportunities, allowing humanity to decide which one to embrace.
✔ America’s Civilizational Terrorism: Drone strikes, economic sanctions, and media manipulation are clear manifestations of this terrorism.
The world is heading toward conflict and destructive confrontation. If powerful nations abandon their aggressive policies, the world can become a sanctuary of peace.
A balance of power can only be achieved when each civilization is allowed the freedom to grow and thrive independently.
