Second, I recall UNICEF claimed Iraq was having around 50K excess deaths of children per year due to sanctions.

Well, if that were true, it would be our fault as well, no? "Excess" deaths are rather plastic depending on which side is wanting to count them. The Excess death crowd has computed figures well north of 100K as a result of our invasion. So I was trying to stick with conservative numbers of those actually killed.
