Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it.

—60 Minutes (5/12/96)

Hmmm. 500,000 dead Iraqi children as a result of USA political hardball and Albright sheds a crocodile tear (such a hard choice!) - but the price was worth it. This thread isn't about anyone but Madeleine Albright and you're defending her?
