Or > suffer from disease due to the same? Possibly, but neither you nor Chomsky knew or cared what pharmaceutical the factory produced, whereas I do. Thus my estimates of likely casualties are likely to be better than Chomsky's My point was not that the bombing was OK, but that Chomsky was pulling his facts out of his ass. His initial claim was that tens of thousands were killed directly by the bombing, and he came up with this stuff about shortages of pharmaceuticals only after being challenged on that claim.
