I think the U.S. sanctions policy on Iraq is mistaken and
counterproductive. But I don't think Clinton is morally culpable for
the fact that the Iraqi government prefers not to spend its foreign
exchange on pharmaceuticals and nutrition but to husband it for...
other purposes.

I do not hear you taking note of the fact that Saddam Hussein has
launched wars of aggression on two of its neighbors. Nor do I hear
you denouncing the butchers of Srebnitca...
