<<Do you think the "government" in Iraq is spending all its "oil for food and medicine" money on food and medicine?>> No Saddam is taking care of his regime (a small segment of the Population) and the rest are left desolate.

<<Do you think Saddam and those around him are murderous thugs?>> Yes
<<Do you trust them to behave responsibly at home and in the wider world?>> No

<<I think there is room for considerable agreement between us but I doubt that will extend to me believing the U.S. intends for children in Iraq to starve to death.>> At the start of the sanctions a reporter pointed out the obvious to Madeline Albright. This will result in the deaths of 500K children. Her response, a direct quote, "We think it is worth it." This is the specific target of this strategy. Do you see another? The hoped for out come is a revolution. I hope so too at this point but I don't think it is worth it. Not even the deliberate death of one child is worth it. It is as unintended as me not intending to burn fossil fuel when I drive my car.
