In 1983, newscaster, Vladimir Danchev, declared opposition to Russia's invasion of Afghanistan. Chomsky comments on the remarkability not just of this opposition, but the use of the term "invade" - a word, he points out, that had not been used in American mainstream media in reference to South Vietnam.
