Saddam was killing these babies or our sanctions? Both. You think we needed a war built on lies to lift these sanctions? With Saddam still in power, and without a threat to his power from the US and without the extra difficulties caused by sanctions it would have been trivial for Saddam to rebuild the WMD program even if those who think it was just about all destroyed were correct. Also when the US tried to change the sanctions to allow more civilian trade, the so called "smart sanctions", Iraq influenced other countries to defeat the plan, because it would make it more difficult for Saddam to portray the sanctions as hurting the Iraqi people in order to get them totally lifted. Would you have supported a total lift of all sanctions on Iraq including those covering weapons and "dual use" items that could be used to make chemical or bio weapons? Tim
