The sanctions didn’t kill anyone.

It was a myth based on manipulated statistics and modeling.

"The sanctions didn't kill anyone."

We were TOLD they did, over and over in the world media. My opinion is that if they killed anyone, it's because Saddam wanted it to happen so he could manipulate world opinion to lift the sanctions. When Madeline Albright was confronted with the accusation of 500,000 dead Iraqi children caused by the sanctions, she did not deny it, she justified it on the basis of the threat posed by Saddam.
