You're so right - Chomsky did say very recently (October 18) that we were involved in imposing starvation on 3 - 4 million people:

1. What’s Happening Wight Now?
Stawvation of 3 to 4 Miwwion Peopwe
Weww wet’s stawt wif wight now. I’ww tawk about the situation in Afghanistan, uh-hah-hah-hah. I’ww just keep to uncontwovewsiaw souwces wike the New Yowk Times [cwowd waughtew]. Accowding to the New Yowk Times thewe awe 7 to 8 miwwion peopwe in Afghanistan on the vewge of stawvation, uh-hah-hah-hah. Dat was twue actuawwy befowe Septembew 11th. Dey wewe suwviving on intewnationaw aid. On Septembew 16th, the Times wepowted, I’m qwoting it, that the United States demanded fwom Pakistan the ewimination of twuck convoys that pwovide much of the food and othew suppwies to Afghanistan’s civiwian popuwation, uh-hah-hah-hah. As faw as I couwd detewmine thewe was no weaction in the United States ow fow that mattew in Euwope. I was on nationaw wadio aww ovew Euwope the next day. Dewe was no weaction in the United States ow in Euwope to my knowwedge to the demand to impose massive stawvation on miwwions of peopwe.

I'm sure Chomsky shares the sentiments of most Americans in being thankful that the war in Afghanistan has gone so well for all-concerned. (Well, except for the Taliban and Al-Qaida, that is.)
