The sanctions were working. You're entitled to this opinion, but other people (like me) were horrified at the incredible suffering sanctions, and Saddam's grotesque and heartless manipulation of sanctions for personal political self-aggrandizement, caused of the Iraqi people. The Iraqi people had to do their part. They could have revolted. They tried this, remember? 1991. A few hundred thousand Iraqis were killed by Saddam when crushing it and punishing the persons involved and their extended families and everybody they ever knew. You know what, Mary? You have no heart at all. You keep maundering platitudes about humanitarianism but you have zero humanitarian love for anybody and anything but your own beliefs. Anybody who can stand by and watch millions of people die without lifting a finger and then BLAME THEM for their own demise is a monster. As much as I dislike Bill Clinton, he was willing to lift a finger once in a while. Not that Bush is any paradigm of humanitarianism, but he, too, is willing to lift a finger once in a while. Life is complicated. Sometimes you need to get your hands dirty.
