So? What does that prove (re USA sanctions against Iraq)

Fortunatley Bush plus advisors saw the problem with the sanctions and had them relaxed. The sanctions were causing much humanitarian problems as I detailed on this thread.

I does not take much imagination to see how these problems occurred. Consider disruptions of supply (for example) to Ambulance spare parts such as spark plugs. Much suffering and deaths could be quickly attributed to this disruption of supply fairly quickly.

I believe this is what happened in Iraq over a long period of time. Maybe I can dig up my posts on this thread if you need some further evidence.
