Are you totally incapable of distinguishing between "caused" and "contributed to?"

Or would you rather believe that the continuous bombing campaign and trade sanctions caused Iraqi children to live longer?

Before calling a US Congressman a whacko, why don't you look in the mirror?

Depends on what is means.

Or Gore didn;t invent the internet he created it.

You are grasping at straws.

You are wasting your time. These gungo-ho jingoist types are simply a mirror image of their leftist opponents: when confronted with facts which do not fit their limited worldview, they do like the Clintonistas, and "deny, deny, deny".

Case in point are the civilian deaths in Iraq. What does one expect to happen when we deliberately target the country's water purification systems, water supply, transporation system, hospitals, and other public health infrastructure, and then deny the importation of food, drugs necessary for preventing disease, and materials necessary for rebuilding Iraq's destroyed public health infrastucture? Children and old people die like flies when exposed to unsanitary water supply. It's a fact as old as history itself.

Maddy Albright declared that all these civilian deaths in Iraq were "worth it" - presumably all the civilian deaths in Serbia were worth it to her, too. After all, nobody she cared about was dieing. One would think conservatives would think twice before repeating the immoral arguments of a Clintonista.
