As you probably already know, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was interviewed on CBS's 60 Minutes by Leslie Stahl in 1996.
Stahl: “We have heard that a half million children have died [as a result of sanctions against Iraq]. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And you know, is the price worth it?”
Albright: “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it.”
