I think the U.S. sanctions policy on Iraq is mistaken and 
counterproductive. But I don't think Clinton is morally culpable for 
the fact that the Iraqi government prefers not to spend its foreign 
exchange on pharmaceuticals and nutrition but to husband it for... 
other purposes.

I do not hear you taking note of the fact that Saddam Hussein has 
launched wars of aggression on two of its neighbors. Nor do I hear 
you denouncing the butchers of Srebnitca...
