Ted, Hundreds of thousands? From where are you getting your numbers?

From the people who protested in 2000 to get those sanctions lifted:

globalpolicy.org

AMERICAN PROTESTERS: In Baghdad, four members of a U.S. pressure group Sunday began a three-day fast in front of UN headquarters to protest against the sanctions, which according to UN estimates have claimed the lives of close to one million Iraqi civilians, over half of them children below the age of five.

By the way, globalpolicy.org is a wonderful source of historic info. You should check out this link, an interview of a guy who thought Gulf War I and the sanctions that followed demonstrated American "imperialism": globalpolicy.org (And this was well before Dubya became president.)

Or this article entitled "Has Iraq Not Suffered Enough?": globalpolicy.org

Of course, everyone blamed America for the deaths caused by the sanctions.
