*Lesley Stahl* on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: - We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it? *Secretary of State Madeleine Albright* - I think this is a very hard choice, but the price-we think the price is worth it. - 60 Minutes (5/12/96)
The words "worth it" will be on her tombstone. Saying (in 1996) that 500,000 Iraqi child deaths due to sanctions was "worth it" was outrageous, but not for the reason you might think. The figure was almost certainly wildly inaccurate, based on faulty data, but the fact that she didn't question it when asked and seemingly dismissed the deaths of half a million children was, and still is, extremely concerning.
I’m Iraqi and that figure was absolutely correct. No medicine was allowed into Iraq, a lot of children died, if you got a simple infection there’s a high chance of dying because there’s no antibiotics.
This worthless "human" being is roasting in the flames, and died on the anniversary of the bombing of Serbia, just to remind us that she will face the music

In reference to 60 minutes: “‘War Criminal or Role Model?” One or the other. The newspaper headline offered no third alternative. I am a person who wants very much to be liked. For more than two decades, I have also been accused of some by starving babies and feeling good about it. The alligation has kept alive online and by social media, but it had its origin on the granddaddy of television new shows, 60 minutes. On May 12, 1996, the program broadcast footage of a shabby, ill-equipped hospital in Baghdad, featuring close-ups of sick and starving children. The accompanying report might as well been narrated by the Iraqi government, which had arranged access to his medical facilities for a CVS camera crew. The heart tugging segment was capped by a conversation between the networks top journalist, Leslie Stahl, and the US ambassador to the United Nations-me. “We have heard that half a million children have died [as a result] of UN sanctions on Iraq,” said Stahl. “ I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?” I can’t recall exactly what thoughts floated through my head at that moment, but judging by the result, none that was useful. I should’ve challenged the interviewers premise or rephrase the question myself, but lacked the quickness of mine to do so. I had already laid out the reasons for our opposition to Iraq’s dictator Saddam Hussein, a policy that had robust international support in the backing of both parties and Congress. Still, there is no valid excuse for how I replied to her question: “ I think that is a very hard choice, but the price, we think, the price is worth it.” Better I had cut out my tongue. I can’t blame people who saw that program or read the transcript for regarding me as insufferably Calais, and I have since apologized 1000 times for answering as I did. For some, the Chronicle of the cold-blooded granny has continued to defined me no matter what else I do or say. Because the networks report had the aura of a truth telling expose, it was rewarded an Emmy. In fact, the producers of 60 minutes were duped. Subsequent research has shown that Iraqi propagandists deceived international observers, convincing them that, due to sanctions, children were dying by the hundreds of thousands. Per a 2017 article in the British medical journal of global health, the data “were rigged to show a huge and sustained-and largely nonexistent-rise in child mortality… The objective of sit on the Saints government was to heighten international concern and so get the international sanctions ended.” The article, which draws on three separate studies, concludes, “There was no major rise in child mortality in Iraq after 1990 and during the period of the sanctions. Conversely, there was no major improvement in child mortality after the downfall of Saddam Hussein.” This is not to deny that UN sanctions contributed to hardships in Iraq or to say that my answer to Stiles question wasn’t a mistake. They did, and it was. The impression I made in the interview is holy at odds with the way I feel about the harm done to innocence as a byproduct of conflict, whether military or political. I despise the euphemisms “collateral damage,” and think commanders should be applauded, not excused for being weak, when trying to avoid civilian casualties stemming from military action. Economic sanctions those sometimes necessary, should be designed to apply pressure on leaders, not to make life more painful for average citizens. This is what I believe, but I failed to make those convictions clear in the interview, and critics were right to fault me for the oversight.” - excerpt from Hell and Other Destinations, M. Albright, 2022
Like it or not,she bombed and killed people that did not agree with her ideology( she was instrumental in unlawful bombing of Serbia and Iraq, she is deeply involved in Rwandan genocide and she absolutely supported every war USA has waged against sovereign nations such as Serbia, Syria, Libya, Iraq etc. So much about this mass murderer and her righteousness.
She's an evil warmonger and a war criminal as well. Probably the most horrific person on this show ever. And keep in mind that Donald Rumsfeld was also a guest.
That's a very insightful comparison. She is indeed quite a hell spawn. Too bad blatant hypocrisy and lies seem to work perfectly if they come from the politician on your "team".
The commonality is money... elitists who have become more internationally connected and took the warning that people were rising up... and they are flexing their muscle.. by owning each political system.
The commonality in a fascist regime is communism. They trick stupid people into thinking that communism will give you free stuff like healthcare and college and that you will never suffer again. What they fail to tell you is that the problem with communism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. They use the media to promote communism and the idiots eat it up and can't wait to give up more of their money and freedoms. Then they turn around and call anyone trying to let people keep their tax dollars and freedoms... fascist.
ursaltydog The billionaires who run the world consider themselves to be transnational. They don't think of themselves as American or British any more but instead think of themselves as a world apart from the rest of us and not subject to the same laws. It's about time that we the people got rid of complicit professional politicians and got ordinary people elected to high office instead. Nobody could be worse than Trump so anyone with a background in law or teaching or medicine or some other field which demonstrates competence and character should have a go.
ursaltydog cf what Cambridge Analytica has been up to in Africa for a decade or so , they got good at it and we barely noticed because we don't give a shit about Africa and so now it's our turn.
Benito Mussolini's definition of fascism:"The corporatist control of private industry by government..." That being a definition of stated fact, if corporations/banks then manipulate and control the government's politicians/political agenda to the corporations/banks benefit... would this not more than imply that the US is now a fascist country?
It's curious that the hands of the US are always clean. I wonder what is their recipe for supporting and installing (military) fascist regimes around the globe and still keeping their hands clean. "Out of sight, out of mind", right?
maybe we should have actual standards for presidential candidates things like security clearances, forced divesting from financial entanglements, and accountability for criminal behavior, just saying
Well the next thing is to have Dick Cheney and Henry Kissinger interviewed in Colbert. After all, presidents are just puppets/actors. Any president that isn´t a puppet would get assassinated or removed from white house
Madeleine Albright strategy is basically " attack and kill nations that can not defend themselves" such as Serbia ( bombed with depleted uranium while this ugly and vile creature named Madeline was a"secretary of State. After Serbia , she was involved in Rwandan genocide and Iraq hoax. I would rather have no plan at all, than to have this consciousness creature as a symbol of "american democracy" forced by killing, bombing, raping and bullying.
I vote for the physicists that are brave enough to talk to us about the true state of existence. The meaning of E=mc2 is that mass and energy are the EXACT SAME THING. That is because subatomic particles spin and vibrate so fast NOTHING is solid or mass or material or physical. So how are we images? These super, super fast spinning and vibrating particles are 100% full of all the knowledge it takes to build one of us and everything else. This means this knowledge knows how to create our images constantly. Each time a quark bursts forth and spins billions of times a second as 3 points of light, forming what are called protons and neutrons, they are creating our images, which Barbara Brennan calls projection. Literally. Proven by quantum physics, the physics not afraid to speak up. Brennan is a physicist that wrote the book "Hands of LIght" to show us that we are eternal energy and light beings and holograms. She taught herself to see people as the holograms they are. Then she built a college system to teach everyone. There is no need to be a fascist that believes in solidity and death and germs and viruses. All of these are not true. It takes solidity for death to happen. Solidity is an illusion. It does not exist. At what is called death, we pop out of these bodies to see ourselves as the electrical magnetic energy field vibrations we have always been. Millions of people are having NDEs around the world to change it. They have seen other dimensions, other kinds of experiences that say we are not solid. I had a NDE as a child where I became aware of the energy beings around me. I was listened to and shown another way of thinking. I felt and heard these energy beings that some people call angels. I bonded with them because I have always been surrounded by people that believe in death and germs and the solidity these are supposedly dependent on. Believing in solidity is the major grief of this whole world. Dare to think differently. Wars and prisons and big pharma make huge amounts of money from illusions. Our fiat money is one of these illusions. They kill billions of people because they can think of nothing else to do with their time. And that is so super sad because the rest of us struggle hard just to hang onto somewhere to live and something to eat. The point of that? We are all ONE, using one mind to think with, our hearts using one mind to beat with. We just don't see this light that we are saturated with.
From fleeing the Nazis as a child to the first women Secretary of State who helped to reshape the world after the fall of communism. What an extraordinary life.
John Jones pointing out the fact that she considered the death of 500,000 children worth it does not a troll make.She is a criminal and may she rot in the pits of hell.

No one is willing or able to tell the truth about the US interest in Syrian politics. It certainly has nothing to do with democracy, but only with geopolitics in the region (oil and oil pipeline, sectarian conflict and Israeli interest.) The US never raised a finger at the Saudi regime (butchering it’s own citizens inside its consulate) and beheading its political opponents. It is just hard to believe any US politician when they speak of democracy, not to mention Albright death sentence of 500,000 Iraqi children to punish Saddam regime!

Mrs. Albright experienced total ignorance as a signatory of the peace treaty signed in Algiers, Algeria.

Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. ... Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price-we think the price is worth it. And here's the link to the interview: th-cam.com/video/omnskeu-puE/w-d-xo.html Half a million children's death? Seriously M. Albright?
I loved her when she was in office. She is a gem- -so intelligent and classy, yet relatable and funny. I always feel smarter after listening to her take on a situation.
Not really a fan of Albright. When she oversimplified something that the attacks on 9/11 were carried out by people 'jealous of their neighbors house down the road' I thought about that style of rhetoric rather much like I do about Trumps playschool bullshit. No self reflection as to why those assholes would do it in the least, it's why it will go on and on.
Man Beadle - well if she had been more nuanced and admitted the US part in it, would people have been ready to hear that after the trauma this country experienced? This country is rather sensitive to hearing criticism- especially at that time.
Man Beadle When talking to Americans it is like talking to children. She does not want to use words the average American does not understand. She is trying to get through to the Trump supporters and also the President himself who also is on the verge of literacy. Talking at a university for example, she speaks in a more dynamic and fluent language, with a robust vocabulary. It seems if you use words that ignorant people do not care to understand they tune out, thus why Trump walked into power totally unqualified and undeserving.
mondovb, not only that, US now fosters and protects Al Qaeda in Syria in their fight against Assad. Affiliates of the organization that created 9/11 are now under US protection. US was dragging their feet letting ISIS become stronger and stronger, but when Russians came in and started to actually wipe ISIS out, US and Saudis needed to find another source of instability and they fell back to their old buddies, the ones who they trained back in the 80s and 90s.
mondovb - 9/11 - yeah... WE DID THAT SHIT. Sure we used the Saudis as fallguys... but the plan was laid out in "The Grand Chessboard" by Zbig Bryzynsky (who created AlQaeda with his Afghan insurgency - pre-Soviet Invasion). Oded Ya-non was the name for the plan at JINSA (see "The Men From JINSA").
Know Thanks - Did Israelis schedule 7 or more secret wargames that AM? Or turn off the air defenses at the Pentagon? No... that was us. Sure that were part of the plan - they're on the same HOMETEAM we are... But responsibility rests with our leadership.
Too bad she doesn't have anything useful to say. The whole "acting like a fascist" started with Dumbya. Well, it started earlier, but it became pronounced with Bush-Cheney and their war criminal cabal.
The problem in the united states and Canada is that people don't want to be involved. We want to bitch and complain, but when it comes to getting off the couch and do something about it "we don't have time". We are borne and raised to just listen and not to have a mind of our own. Education is a privilege in our nations and is treated as such. The other issue I hear lately from people is that they are so disgusted and have zero faith in government because no matter what we do or say the government will do what they want and they have do anything about it. WRONG - The power is not in the individual, the power is with the people. Hence, Democracy. The Government works for the people, not the other way around. Take the time to e-mail your local government representative as a group. Whats louder, an individual or a crowd screaming. I will say this though, in the united states especially there is a lot of people gaining ground and protesting, more so than in Canada.
Remember kids... not because someone is old and keeps working it's worthy of our respect. Pinochet, Franco, Thatcher, they all died a thousand years old. I know one feels the urge to go "Yeah! What a kick ass lady!" but first we should learn a bit about what they did in the past and what moral ground they have in the present to spread their "wisdom".
+Nataniel Costard It was tyranny that was the real demon in that incident. If anything, it showed exactly how the Iraqi leaders thought of their people as expendable.
Not like she killed them. It was an estimation on the number of hunger-related deaths since the enforcement of UN sanctions to Iraq under Saddam Hussein. It's like saying Trump is responsible for the 14,000+ deaths which have occured in Iraq since he took office. Trump's expressions showing disregar for human life are far more frequent and blunt.
Madeline Albright is a child murderer, period. She was responsible for the sanctions which killed hundreds of thousands of children. By any metric, she should serve life in prison.
Albright said 1/2 million dead was a price worth paying. She shouldn't be anywhere near a TV camera.

So much about this mass murderer and her righteousness.
yeah she was ok with 500,000 iraqi children dying.
Yeah, of course we should listen to a war criminal!!!
Omg!!! This is why I’m in tears
I was like “who is this? Why did I recognize her? I don’t remember”
And now I see this
Colbert turned to the dark side … in full regalia here
She's an evil warmonger and a war criminal as well. Probably the most horrific person on this show ever. And keep in mind that Donald Rumsfeld was also a guest.
This woman smart as hell
That's a very insightful comparison. She is indeed quite a hell spawn.
Too bad blatant hypocrisy and lies seem to work perfectly if they come from the politician on your "team".
This woman is a war criminal.
HOE BUDDEN You not smart as hell.
what a joke
This woman is very smart! She is also a cold blooded killer of children. Intellectually she may be impressive, morally she is repugnant.
Screw the wheelchair! I’m going on Colbert to kick ass!
Will it be worth it? Like all the dead children in Iraq Madeline ? No to more war in Syria!!
The commonality is money... elitists who have become more internationally connected and took the warning that people were rising up... and they are flexing their muscle.. by owning each political system.
ursaltydog you're everywhere... And I think you're right. What's the solution?
The commonality in a fascist regime is communism. They trick stupid people into thinking that communism will give you free stuff like healthcare and college and that you will never suffer again. What they fail to tell you is that the problem with communism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. They use the media to promote communism and the idiots eat it up and can't wait to give up more of their money and freedoms. Then they turn around and call anyone trying to let people keep their tax dollars and freedoms... fascist.
ursaltydog The billionaires who run the world consider themselves to be transnational. They don't think of themselves as American or British any more but instead think of themselves as a world apart from the rest of us and not subject to the same laws. It's about time that we the people got rid of complicit professional politicians and got ordinary people elected to high office instead. Nobody could be worse than Trump so anyone with a background in law or teaching or medicine or some other field which demonstrates competence and character should have a go.
ursaltydog cf what Cambridge Analytica has been up to in Africa for a decade or so , they got good at it and we barely noticed because we don't give a shit about Africa and so now it's our turn.
* * I comment like every else does.. Btw, I thought you were quite nice on another of my threads before..
Benito Mussolini's definition of fascism:"The corporatist control of private industry by government..."
That being a definition of stated fact, if corporations/banks then manipulate and control the government's politicians/political agenda to the corporations/banks benefit... would this not more than imply that the US is now a fascist country?
the perpetrator of a genocide shouldn't be on tv, should should be behind bars with no access to even watch tv.
It's curious that the hands of the US are always clean. I wonder what is their recipe for supporting and installing (military) fascist regimes around the globe and still keeping their hands clean.
"Out of sight, out of mind", right?
War criminal and pure evil.
maybe we should have actual standards for presidential candidates things like security clearances, forced divesting from financial entanglements, and accountability for criminal behavior, just saying
Admitted war criminal.
Well the next thing is to have Dick Cheney and Henry Kissinger interviewed in Colbert.
After all, presidents are just puppets/actors.
Any president that isn´t a puppet would get assassinated or removed from white house
she is talking about humanitarian aspects ??????!!! it is shame to give her public space. should be in jail. shame on you Colbert.
Any other war criminals to invite? Maybe Heinrich Himmler next?
"There is no strategy'" is the entire Trump playbook.
Suck it, New Message, your comment was not upvoted! :)
I'd rather have no strategy and plan than hers. She is evil.
Madeleine Albright strategy is basically " attack and kill nations that can not defend themselves" such as Serbia ( bombed with depleted uranium while this ugly and vile creature named Madeline was a"secretary of State. After Serbia , she was involved in Rwandan genocide and Iraq hoax.
I would rather have no plan at all, than to have this consciousness creature as a symbol of "american democracy" forced by killing, bombing, raping and bullying.
I vote for the physicists that are brave enough to talk to us about the true state of existence. The meaning of E=mc2 is that mass and energy are the EXACT SAME THING. That is because subatomic particles spin and vibrate so fast NOTHING is solid or mass or material or physical. So how are we images? These super, super fast spinning and vibrating particles are 100% full of all the knowledge it takes to build one of us and everything else. This means this knowledge knows how to create our images constantly. Each time a quark bursts forth and spins billions of times a second as 3 points of light, forming what are called protons and neutrons, they are creating our images, which Barbara Brennan calls projection. Literally. Proven by quantum physics, the physics not afraid to speak up. Brennan is a physicist that wrote the book "Hands of LIght" to show us that we are eternal energy and light beings and holograms. She taught herself to see people as the holograms they are. Then she built a college system to teach everyone.
There is no need to be a fascist that believes in solidity and death and germs and viruses. All of these are not true. It takes solidity for death to happen. Solidity is an illusion. It does not exist. At what is called death, we pop out of these bodies to see ourselves as the electrical magnetic energy field vibrations we have always been.
Millions of people are having NDEs around the world to change it. They have seen other dimensions, other kinds of experiences that say we are not solid. I had a NDE as a child where I became aware of the energy beings around me. I was listened to and shown another way of thinking. I felt and heard these energy beings that some people call angels. I bonded with them because I have always been surrounded by people that believe in death and germs and the solidity these are supposedly dependent on. Believing in solidity is the major grief of this whole world.
Dare to think differently. Wars and prisons and big pharma make huge amounts of money from illusions. Our fiat money is one of these illusions. They kill billions of people because they can think of nothing else to do with their time. And that is so super sad because the rest of us struggle hard just to hang onto somewhere to live and something to eat. The point of that? We are all ONE, using one mind to think with, our hearts using one mind to beat with. We just don't see this light that we are saturated with.
One of the most despicable and vile human beings in recent history
From fleeing the Nazis as a child to the first women Secretary of State who helped to reshape the world after the fall of communism. What an extraordinary life.
And killing half a million children. Trully an extraordinary life.

wait, isn't she the lady that said the deaths of half a million Iraqis was "worth it"?
In case you were curious, this is what a senior who's brain still works looks and sounds like
She is not the one who added "do something"

No one is willing or able to tell the truth about the US interest in Syrian politics. It certainly has nothing to do with democracy, but only with geopolitics in the region (oil and oil pipeline, sectarian conflict and Israeli interest.) The US never raised a finger at the Saudi regime (butchering it’s own citizens inside its consulate) and beheading its political opponents. It is just hard to believe any US politician when they speak of democracy, not to mention Albright death sentence of 500,000 Iraqi children to punish Saddam regime!
In Serbia we have a dictator, and all the situations that she listed as a warning signs, and among others we can thank Madeleine Albright for that.
How can you thank her for anything she bombed us and you thank her
McGonagall + Umbridge = Albright
Remember when the government had dignity? I miss those days.

"Those who fail to remember the past are doomed to relive it." George Santayana. There are some great short videos online that inform about the why and how of the rise of Hitler. the French Revolution, etc.
Madeleine Albright has more courage, brains and experience than the entire Republican party.

RIP Madam Secretary of State.
Madam secretary you were the signatory of a peace treaty between Eritrea and Ethiopia at Aljers. Today Eritrea is in a situation of neither war nor peace. It's a tradition of US to leave counties in uncertainty once the sole objectives of US that is not necessary humaine is mate. Now is it fair for you to creaticize misconduct you are guilty of your self?
Please tell me more about this. I have no idea about this episode. Thank you.
US only brings destruction to poor countries, never let those assholes in!
Nika as a former US ambassador to the UN and US secretary of state she seems to be lecturing on morality and humanities. She may be a champion in diverting Clinton's policy in regards of the Rwanda Genocides from total ignorance. But the Eritrea and Ethiopia war was equally damaging given it coated the lives of over TWO HUNDRED THOUSANDS OF MEN AND WOMEN. Mrs. Albright experienced total ignorance as a signatory of the peace treaty signed in Algiers, Algeria.
She is no ignorant, she is EVIL. Her face is a face of a demon. She killed kids in Serbia, Iraq, Rwanda and now i heard that she is involved in Eritrea. Wherever she goes, Death follows.
This evil war criminal will burn in hell.
She's just amazing. Thank you so much Stephen Colbert

Madeleine Albright Says 'See Something, Say Something, Do Something'
I loved her when she was in office. She is a gem- -so intelligent and classy, yet relatable and funny. I always feel smarter after listening to her take on a situation.
Right. Killing a half a million children is “classy”
you must be really stupid if you feel smarter after listening to this mass murderer.
Active citizenship that can speak for the public.
❤❤❤❤ It's called greed and it's not going away.
it's like she's talking about my country Kenya.
Philippines, Turkey, Venezuela....she forgot Israel, Argentina, Spain......the entire world...for a while now...
Bituquinna Bituquitan ...Spain? What and how...??
Heed the warning.. This is not a game.
Not really a fan of Albright. When she oversimplified something that the attacks on 9/11 were carried out by people 'jealous of their neighbors house down the road' I thought about that style of rhetoric rather much like I do about Trumps playschool bullshit. No self reflection as to why those assholes would do it in the least, it's why it will go on and on.
Man Beadle - well if she had been more nuanced and admitted the US part in it, would people have been ready to hear that after the trauma this country experienced? This country is rather sensitive to hearing criticism- especially at that time.
Man Beadle When talking to Americans it is like talking to children. She does not want to use words the average American does not understand. She is trying to get through to the Trump supporters and also the President himself who also is on the verge of literacy.
Talking at a university for example, she speaks in a more dynamic and fluent language, with a robust vocabulary.
It seems if you use words that ignorant people do not care to understand they tune out, thus why Trump walked into power totally unqualified and undeserving.
mondovb, not only that, US now fosters and protects Al Qaeda in Syria in their fight against Assad. Affiliates of the organization that created 9/11 are now under US protection.
US was dragging their feet letting ISIS become stronger and stronger, but when Russians came in and started to actually wipe ISIS out, US and Saudis needed to find another source of instability and they fell back to their old buddies, the ones who they trained back in the 80s and 90s.
mondovb - 9/11 - yeah... WE DID THAT SHIT.
Sure we used the Saudis as fallguys... but the plan was laid out in "The Grand Chessboard" by Zbig Bryzynsky (who created AlQaeda with his Afghan insurgency - pre-Soviet Invasion). Oded Ya-non was the name for the plan at JINSA (see "The Men From JINSA").
Know Thanks - Did Israelis schedule 7 or more secret wargames that AM? Or turn off the air defenses at the Pentagon?
No... that was us. Sure that were part of the plan - they're on the same HOMETEAM we are... But responsibility rests with our leadership.
“Once I found my voice, I’m not gonna shut up.”
Too bad she doesn't have anything useful to say. The whole "acting like a fascist" started with Dumbya. Well, it started earlier, but it became pronounced with Bush-Cheney and their war criminal cabal.
Rest In Peace Mrs. Albright
"disgusting Serbs" is still her quote I find most relatable. Rest in peace
Peace!!
War hawk
The problem in the united states and Canada is that people don't want to be involved. We want to bitch and complain, but when it comes to getting off the couch and do something about it "we don't have time". We are borne and raised to just listen and not to have a mind of our own. Education is a privilege in our nations and is treated as such.
The other issue I hear lately from people is that they are so disgusted and have zero faith in government because no matter what we do or say the government will do what they want and they have do anything about it.
WRONG - The power is not in the individual, the power is with the people. Hence, Democracy. The Government works for the people, not the other way around. Take the time to e-mail your local government representative as a group. Whats louder, an individual or a crowd screaming. I will say this though, in the united states especially there is a lot of people gaining ground and protesting, more so than in Canada.
Legend.

“Worth it”
Donald Trump is the one who said Obama should stay out of it
Remember kids... not because someone is old and keeps working it's worthy of our respect. Pinochet, Franco, Thatcher, they all died a thousand years old. I know one feels the urge to go "Yeah! What a kick ass lady!" but first we should learn a bit about what they did in the past and what moral ground they have in the present to spread their "wisdom".

Meanwhile, in the Tonight Show studio, Cardi B is explaining her catchphrase.
I stopped listening the moment she said: **I agree with senator McCain**
But Trump has no humanitarian instinct at all.
Madeleine "the death of 500,000 children was worth it" Albright
Not like she killed them. It was an estimation on the number of hunger-related deaths since the enforcement of UN sanctions to Iraq under Saddam Hussein. It's like saying Trump is responsible for the 14,000+ deaths which have occured in Iraq since he took office. Trump's expressions showing disregar for human life are far more frequent and blunt.
Madeline Albright is a child murderer, period. She was responsible for the sanctions which killed hundreds of thousands of children. By any metric, she should serve life in prison.
Then George W. Bush is also a mass murderer and should serve life in prison as well.
Who would disagree with that, except dying demented baby boomers?
I wouldn't.
