The sanctions did not kill the people. Saddam killed those people. It was Saddam that took the money and spent it on lavish palaces and let children die. Sanctions are an effective tool. Excuse me, how by any stretch of logic does Paragraph 2 follow from Paragraph 1? Sanctions may be a great idea in theory, except in the real world, what you get is Paragraph 1 - which btw during the period of sanctions, this was the NEOCON's line, not your side's. Because in order to work sanctions need a country that is vulnerable to sanctions and has nothing really valuable to export and a great deal of international cooperation to impose sanctions and refuse to cheat on them for bribes. These conditions mean that sanctions hardly ever work in the real world.
