First you cite 700k deaths which I pointed out was a questionable number and then you come back with a report that drops the deaths to 500k Are we going to bicker forever on this? :-) Really. I pointed out the infant deaths from the first internet site I clicked on, for a basis of comparison on the magnitude of deaths in Iraq - i.e. those due to Saddam's killings and those due to other non-natural causes. The number (700k vs 500k etc) was not a point of discussion. I never claimed any such number as credible or otherwise. So the sanctions contribution is going to be less than 500k. As you pointed out in a later sentence, it doesn't really matter. It is an enormous number in any case.
