I never claimed that 2 million children were killed by UN Sanctions. Only YOU claim anyone said that. I said that Iraq claimed close to 2 million people were killed by Sanctions (actually the claim was a little over 1.6 million about 2 years ago). It was UNICEF that claimed that > 500,000 more children died in Iraq while Sanctions were in place than before Sanctions.

You should really at least attempt to understand this, as it is one of the reasons that OBL declared war on the United States (during the Clinton Administration), and therefore one of the reasons why 9/11 happened. Now, OBL and Saddam's claims were false (blaming the U.S. and the UN for those deaths), but if you can't understand the complaint, you can't counter the argument.

re:" So now you guys believe Saddam Hussein's outrageous claims? Cant have it both ways. No 2 million kids died in Iraq. Fess up. 500,000 die in any third world country over ten years. "
