The first time I heard " Noam Chomsky " 's name was when I was studying English Literature at university ...
At that time I knew him as the best & greatest linguist in the world ...
Then I knew that he is not only the best linguist but also a great intellectual whose ideas against monarchy, imperialism, terrorism , Zionism , capitalism and esp. as an American , against the present government of the US are really great , deep and valuable ...
And last night I heard that he has been chosen as the first and best alive intellectual in the WORLD ...
I've always tried to read his articles as well as his weblog ...
You can see them here :

I admire him greatly ...
The interesting point is that " Shirin Ebadi " _ the Iranian Nobel Peace Prize Winner in 2003 _ is the twelfth ...
and " Mohammad Khatami " _ the former president of Iran _ is the thirteen in this list !
