When asked about the deaths of Iraqi children under 5 due to the sanctions imposed by the UN - numbers are in the hundreds of thousands with many indications that 1/2 million children died; Secretary Albright replied to Leslie Stahl "we think the price is worth it". The quote about women supporting women pales in comparison.

What did the Iraqi people ever do to the people of the United States? We have been bombing, burning, maiming, and hurting them for 25 years now. We destroyed their country and unleashed a civil war from hell. For what? Some goddamned oil?
