I think the question here should not be so much "is the actual number 500k
or maybe 80% less or more", but instead: "What can we do to fix the
problem." One possibility would be to lift the sanctions. In terms of
military buildup in Iraq, that would barely make a difference. The other
possibility is to finish what Desert Storm left unfinished. And then of
course not only lift sanctions, but send Care packets ...
Greetings
