Mark in the apoplectic mode contends: "The truth"about Doug 'I'm no pacifist' Henwood is that he, too, is in favour of US policy, that is, Henwood favours the policy of bombing Afghan towns and cities, he favours the random and/or mass slaughter of Afghanis, he favours the destruction of whatever remains of the social infrastructure in Afghanistan, in short he favours the kind of war of exterminism which for example the Russian state has carried out in Chechya in recent years. The collapse of Afghan society as a result of the combined efforts of US bombing and the insertion of Russian ground forces, troops, tanks etc, under the Northern Alliance flag, is creating not just a humanitarian catastrophe but prime-time genocide in Afghanistan. Henwood does support this ongoing genocide.
--Wierd, on other lists I've not seen any evidence of this. He's challenged the likes of Leo Casey on LBO and Soc. Register List, disagreed with Max Sawicky on the LBO list on the current bombing campaign. Any evidence that Doug supports the current bombing campaign or is this just one more of a series of smears?
