So when do you think the US is going to murder millions of Afghan civilians? Or do you just mean that it is not a lie because it is a mistake rather then an intentional attempt to deceive? If so it would be a sign of stupidity rather then dishonesty. As to the other issue, did Chomsky say it, I have no idea. Perhaps Brumar89 has a link or even a specific quote without a link. Tim

But here’s a statement saying, OK, let’s proceed to kill unknown numbers, maybe millions, of starving Afghans who are victims of the Taliban. What was the reaction? I spent almost the entire day afterwards on radio and television around the world. I kept bringing it up. Nobody in Europe or the U.S. could think of one word of reaction. Elsewhere in the world there was plenty of reaction, even around the periphery of Europe, like Greece. How should we have reacted to this? Suppose some power was strong enough to say, Let’s do something that will cause a million Americans to die of starvation. Would you think it’s a serious problem? monthlyreview.org
