This administration represents Child killers and proud of it--- Secretary of State Madeleine Albright "Yes, we think the price is worth it"

"More than one million Iraqis have died- 567,000 of them children-as a direct consequence of economic sanctions... As many as 12% of the children surveyed in Baghdad are wasted, 28% stunted and 29% underweight."
--UN FAO, December 1995.

How many children die each week? According to the United Nations it's over 4,000. Years ago on the McLaughlin Group John M. himself asked if America's policy was genocide. Is it? On Nov. 8/98 he described the death of half a million children under the age of 5. United Nations' Relief Coordinator Dennis Halliday from England has now resigned saying he couldn't any longer be part of the cause of the misery upon so many innocent people. The NEW YORK TIMES, 1/3/99 quotes Halliday, "we are losing 6,000 to 7,000 children a month as a consequence of the sanctions." An earlier report quoted him that the crippling trade embargo was incompatible with the UN charter as well as UN conventions on human rights and the rights of the child (BBC News Online, 9/30). Also Secretary of State Madeleine Albright didn't deny such figures when she explained that "Yes, we think the price is worth it" when asked on CBS 60 Minutes program (5/11/96) if maintaining the blockade was worth the death of half a million children.

I haven't had chance to post this for a few months.

Thanks for the opportunity,
