>> Um, maybe because they were deliberately targeted?

So the US' excuse is incompetence? Oops, sorry we did not know that cluster bombs don't all go off and kill civilians in neighborhoods or that depleted uranium will affect civilians for decades to come?

>> And if I'm not mistaken, this is the very sanctions regime that you favored maintaining instead of going to war.

Well you are kind of mistaken. I never supported the sanctions in the form they were. In fact on many occasions I pointed out that if Iraq is properly closed off it will progress fine on its own and pointed to democratic changes in Kurdistan as an example. That said, the sanctions were killing people more slowly than the current invasion and we did not have half the problems we are facing now in Iraq.
