....>One unfortunate consequence of our actions in Sudan....< Yes indeed, Chomsky's theme seems to be that beccause the US bombed a pharma factory in Khartoum, hundreds of thousands of Sudanese may have died because they were deprived of drugs to save lives. Thus, it was far worse than the WCT calumny. Of course, the actual count in the Khartoum bombing was one unfortunate watchman; the count kept down presumably because the bombing was carrried out at night when the plant was closed. Chomsky makes a giant leap by assuming that the benevolent Khartoum regime was, indeed, distributing drugs to the needy, not just the favored military. The respected U. S. Committee for Refugees, initiated by then-President Eisenhower, had somethng to say about Khartoum's caring concern for its citizens. I hope I got the correct URL below. It's quite an indictment and far from the latest tally. Scroll way down for the juiciest parts. I might note that all this effort by Chomsky is somewhat baffling.
