Cyweliad diweddar â Noam Chomsky. Mae’n sôn am bropaganda, a’i rôl yn Ryfel y Gylff Rhan II, sy’n ddigon cyfarwydd yn unrhywun sy wedi darllen Chomsky, ond hefyd mae’n sôn am Blaire, a rôl Prydain fel juniour partner yr Americanwyr.

Tony Blair is a good propaganda agent for the United States: He’s articulate, sentences fall together, apparently people like the way he looks. He’s following a position that Britain has taken, self-consciously, since the end of World War II. During World War II, Britain recognized—we have plenty of internal documents about it—what was obvious; Britain had been the world-dominant power and it was not going to be after World War II—the U.S. was going to be. Britain had to make a choice: Is it going to be just another country, or is it going to be what they called a junior partner of the United States? It accepted the role of junior partner. And that’s what it’s been since then. Britain has been kicked in the face over and over again in the most disgraceful way and they sit there quietly and take it and say, “Okay, we will be the junior partner. We will bring to what’s called the coalition our experience of centuries of brutalizing and murdering foreign people. We’re good at that.” That’s the British role. It’s disgraceful.
