Scott, what do you want? You posed a quote from Albright and asked if Larry
agreed with her. He answered with, as I see it, a three paragraph answer. You
claimed (foolishly or disingenously?) that he didn't answer. So he
reasonably assumed (given your verbiage) that you were pressing him for a "yes
or no" type answer. And now you're complaining that he made that guess about
your completely unclear motives and desires. I ask again, what do you want?
Which part of the following doesn't seem like Larry's answer?
====================
I reject that 500K children in Iraq have died since sanctions were imposed.
That statistic itself is questionable. I note you haven't debunked it,
merely cited it again.
I reject that the sanctions are the REASON that children (however many)
died. The sanctions do not prevent the flow of food into the country.
I reject that even if the sanctions actually *caused* the death of even 1
child that it's the fault of the imposers of the sanctions for the deaths.
The *fault* lies with the lawless dictator Hussein, not the US.
====================
Jeez!
Chris
