Wasn't it evil for the United States to bomb Iraq for a decade and to embargo medicines for children? When U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was asked if she thought an embargo that resulted in the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children was justified, she replied, "Yes."

Funny... What Paul Craig Moonbat seems to forget is that America did NOT embargo "medicines for children." Actually, Iraq was able to sell lots of oil for "humanitarian uses." Of course, much of that oil was actually sold in the UN's "oil for food" scandal, where Hussien bought off the UN and many other countries, while enriching himself, and passing much, if not all of the remaining funds into his military. Actually, those "500,000 Iraqi children" that Mr. Moonbat mentions, if they really existed, which I doubt in those numbers, were victims of the UN, France, Germany, Russia, and of course, Hussien himself.

True, but the Sanctions were a US led effort...There is data that suggests reinvading Iraq has actually saved lives.
Of course, the libs absolutely refuse to blame the insurgents for the civilians they intentionally kill.
