It would be smart for our government to ship replacement medicines to Sudan to replace those Sudan claimed were produced at the factory--would almost certainly cost less than a single cruise missile, and would have a major PR benefit, especially avoiding the photos for the next six months of kids dying for lack of medicine -- or, worse, Libya or somebody else getting there first with the medicine and taking credit for helping overcome the terrible cost of US aggression. BTW, did anybody calculate how expensive this raid was? My recollection from Gulf War days was that those things cost $800,000 each; 75 of them would be $60 million dollars, not to mention any ancillary costs of ships getting them into place, programming them, etc. 12 American lives lost: that's $5 million per life. What do we do if they down a plane and take 300 American lives?
