proposal for a revised introduction okay i have a proposal for a new intro which needs to be worked on more but i wanted to put what i have so far out there i'm not at all wild about the specific wording at points but i think you'll get the drift the intro has been the victim of a lot of reversions and i think it would be good for us to get that straight right now there is no criticism of chomsky's position on nicaragua v united states in the intro actually ultramarine appears to have added it back but i have a different version and i think there obviously should be i've also added some new stuff here it is and i'll try to explain what i was trying to do and what i think is missing after the proposed text the first two sentences are the same including sources though i have removed some italics which seemed unnecessary the united states of america has been accused of funding training and harboring individuals and groups who engage in terrorism by some legal scholars other governments and human rights organizations among others linguist and u s foreign policy critic noam chomsky argues that the u s has been legally found guilty of international terrorism based on the verdict by the international court of justice in nicaragua v united states which condemned the united states federal government not for terrorism per se but for its unlawful use of force cite web url
