General Assembly. by an overwhelm. ing 75to23 vote. expressed its "profound concern" over what the Russians are doing in Afghanistan. When you read the report. you realize that "profound concern" hardly characterIzes what any civilized person should feel about the Russian tactics. The Russian invasion has driven more than 4 million Afghans from their country and another 2 million from their homesa refugee situation of unprecedented proportions. The main Soviet military tactic Is that of mass terrorthe use of Indiscriminate bombings of villages. homes. hospitals. and even funeral processions. and the widespread use of torture against anyone suspected of opposing the Russians. One particularly Soviet trick Is so abhorrent that It is literally sickeningthe Russians have taken to dropping toys out of airplanes. which village children of course rush to pick up and play with.
