"According to Madeline Albright, the sanctions, absolutely necessary to keep Saddam from starting ANOTHER war in the middle east, was killing 50,000 Iraqi kids per year. "
Poppycock.
Saddams first war against Iran was done with help and towards interests of the US.
For the Kuweit affair he first got approval from the US.
Madelaine Albright born as Marie Jana Korbelová was on her very own and personal Jihad.
Especially for US citizens it is naive to believe in the exhalations of their politicians.
Problem with Saddam for the US was that he was too successfull in establishing a stable state
leading its region in education, gender equality and health care that could potentially be a
threat to Israel. So it was back to the stoneage by any means.
