Chomsky asks a bunch of rhetorical questions the answers of which he himself has answered many times in many books. Why can America do X while if any other country doing X would result in outrage and catastrophe? Blah blah hypocrisy. The three word answer is "might makes right" and many books and many articles don't really expand much upon that. The USA is a modern empire and we can put contracts out on people and hit them, end of story. Don't like it, then go eff yourself. End of story. He knows this. It's no different than a small town mayor bitching about a county authority bitching about a governor bitching about a federal bureaucrat bitching about an executive. One power trumps another, and that doesn't end at the lines of nation states. The million-tentacled montster exceeds the explanatory powers of the 1000 word op-ed.
