Are the Children of Iraq Our Enemies?
Ten years ago, on August 6, 1990, the U.S. imposed economic sanctions on Iraq. Since then, over one million Iraqis, mostly children under five, have died. 10 years is enough! The military sanctions on Iraq should continue, but the economic sanctions not only do not work, they are killing innocent Iraqi children.
We say, the time has come to stop killing innocent Iraqi children.
Lift the economic sanctions on Iraq now!

I've never read any justification for this number. What evidence is there that 500,000 children have died?
Anyone?
