Underlying all the other issues was the decision to continue sanctions or not to continue sanctions, and there were many other issues and threats besides WMDs which I agree were not an immediate threat by themselves. The decision was being made by time as the effectiveness of the sanctions was deteriorating so that in time they would be abandoned as useless anyway.

Albright declared that the death of 500,000 innocent children resulting from the sanctions was worth it. I always felt that if the target was the regime of Saddam, which it was, then this policy was flawed. Targeting the innocents in this way to get at your enemy, although more sophisticated, is no less insidious than sending terrorists out to bomb innocents.
