No worries, though in a way you are correct that it is Chomsky's since it was he who brought it to popular consciousness....we all read him now and no one reads Lippmann. I know I first read it in one of his books. I think NC appreciates an articulate imperialist with a literary flair as they feed him good lines for his radical analysis...rhetorical rope he uses to hang them up all the more effectively.
