Thomas, I intentionally included that one passage. It was but one POV from one report that still supports my POV more than yours. Since Saddam took power, the disparity between his supporters & the vast majority of Iraqi's began to deteriorate. That is widely reported, widely documented & widely accepted as true. The argument that the sanctions are the fault of the US is akin to saying you are at fault for the incarceration of the criminal who robbed you & beat you nearly to death because you pressed charges against the criminal. Saddam failed to meet the requirements of the cease fire agreement. It was Saddam's choice to fail to comply with international law. And it was the UN passed those sanctions, not the US. BTW, the Oil for Food program should have fed & provided medicine for all of Iraq's needy. Instead it went to build more palaces. It fed & bought weapons for Iraqi Republican Guard. It enriched senior Iraq leaders & Ba'ath leaders as well as Saddam. I guess that also was the fault of the Bush Administration? I notice that you completely ignored every other report & the hundreds of others easily available to you that clearly prove my point to be accurate & yours to be bunk.
