As a result of the embargo? Over 500,000 children, 1.2 million total - none of which were probably involved in WMD. Madeleine Albright said "it was worth it" to Leslie Stahl.

I'm not sure I'd agree. And most people get irate about 5000 mostly adult casualties for WTC which DID NOT INVOLVE IRAQ but a cell of mostly Saudi terrorists operating out of Afghanistan. How we can justify this is beyond my understanding. It is the same mentality that allowed the US to bomb Vietnam and Cambodia, missing most military targets in favor of civil ones.

The politics of the Cold War prevented us from taking the war to certain places which were likely to kill Chinese or Russian advisors, possibly increasing the scope of the War. Even Robert McNamara, the hawk who drove Johnson into Vietnam now regrets it. Great. His regrets mean a lot to the people that had thousands of loved ones killed or mamed. I work with a Vietnamese guy who has obviously been disfigured by the war - most of his hand is missing. He's not old enough to have been a combatant.
