Was it REALLY worth it?

The US deliberately targeted Iraqi water purification systems, beginning in 1991. The 2003 bombing killed untold thousands of civilians. The vicious sanctions imposed in the wake of the first Gulf War resulted in the death of at least 500,000 Iraqi children, a toll that Madeline Albright, Bill Clinton's Secretary of State, described as being "worth it" in a 1996 interview with CBS' Leslie Stahl. All of those war crimes were especially despicable considering Iraq never posed any threat to the USA. But hey, don't let my unpleasant statements of fact prevent anyone in America from enjoying the latest Kim Kardashian gossip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANv0e7gBXQA
