Apparently, his worldview has changed in one significant way in the

historical, political and economic analysis of the roots of the war
were very impressive and he effectively predicted the outcome. When he
accepted a couple of questions from the SRO audience, one man asked
what action could be taken to change "the way things are done".
Chomsky's answer was roughly "Nothing, it's all beyond the control of
individuals or groups of protesters." Now I understand he supports
grass roots political action against war with Iraq.
