That is not counting the 500,000 to 1 million that died from January 1991 up
until the beginning of 2003. After all, when you put sanctions on a country
like Iraq, who ends up suffering. Sure wasn't Saddam now was it. But it was
the hundreds of thousands of civilians that died.

I'm sure that all of the good Christians and so-called purveyors of freedom
and liberty for those oppressed Iraqis think thats perfectly ok. Not only
that but to steal the oil underneath the ground. Some fine Christian leaders
you have, dont ya.

Excellent point Billy. It also brings to mind the cruel embargo
inflicted upon Cuba by the US government which has killed over 250,000
Cuban children whom the USA kept from receiving vaccines and critical
medicine. A horrific act of cruelty and morally indefensible.

Almost every country in the United Nations General Assembly urged the
U.S. Tuesday to end its four-decade-old embargo against Cuba.
The vote, held for the 14th year in a row, was approved by 182 to 4,
with one abstention.The resolution demanded that the U.S. lift its
trade, financial and travel embargo and stop penalizing foreign firms
that deal with the island nation. Story continued at
