Less,
I was outspoken in that regard myself. It is nothing short of a criminal sin to target innocents in order to create some secondary harmful effect on your true enemy.
If a man commits a felony, you arrest that person, try him, and throw him in jail.

If that man turned out to be the sole provider of a kid, what are you going to do? Blame the father's incarceration for the kid now growing up without a parent? Of course not, you blame the father himself for being a felon.

Same thing with Saddam Hussein. If he's constantly defying the U.N., sanctions are going to be levied. If that hurts the people of Iraq, that's on Saddam himself, not on the sanctions.

Blaming the sanctions ignores the reasons why they were imposed in the first place. If the reasons are no longer valid, then lift the sanctions via due process.
