The Iraqis claim that 1.5 million Iraqis have died as a result of sanctions. This is probably an exaggeration, but the fact is that containment is not bloodless, either.

Add to that the number of people (Iranians, Kurds, and his own people) Saddam has killed, and will kill in the future, and I suggest to you that it's far higher than the number of Iraqis who will die as the result of war.
