It seems strange to address raver's comment about liberty of critique by saying Chomsky is less controversial in Europe and his views are close to the mainstream. Th test of a country's liberty is better illustrated by the spectrum of allowed speech rather than whether or not an opinion corresponds with the mainstream. And in my opinion, the spectrum of allowed speech is narrower in the average European country than the US.
