Should we have just stuck with the sanctions like oil for food , and not have gone to war?
I mean nearly 500,000 children did die of starvation without US forces attacking. That seemed to really make the people stand up against saddam right?
In 1996 then-UN Ambassador Madeleine Albright was asked by 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl, in reference to years of U.S.-led economic sanctions against Iraq, “We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?”
To which Ambassador Albright responded, “I think that is a very hard choice, but the price, we think, the price is worth it.”
