This did not cause an uproar in the United States and Madeline Albright was not removed from office. We believe the starvation, suffering and death endured by millions of Iraqi people are a crime against humanity which must not be concealed. We appreciate Ms. Albright's decision to respond immediately after we raised our concerns.
Iraqi children are totally innocent of oil power politics.
All those who prevent the lifting of sanctions, including Madeline Albright, are not. One line disclaimers of responsibility may appear admirable, but the children are dead and we have seen them dying. According to the UN itself, they died as a direct result of the embargo on commerce with Iraq. Many countries of the United Nations favored easing of these sanctions. The U.S. government and Madeline Albright as its spokesperson prevented that from happening.
