saudi arabia that supports terror, indonesia, the muslim brotherhood.....muslims are known for their love to western states and values, with the US in the front.
i think the americans has had enough of fighting when the rest of the self righteous western world criticizes them for everything. until the terrorists strike again that is, maybe a british airport?
Or an Indian railway? Maybe we should attack a totally irrelevant country everytime there is an attack.

There was the small matter of ten years of embargo on exactly that stuff. Probably made a bit more difference than a few gold toilets. Especially considering Saddam was able get all that infrastructure installed and running fine, along with the gold toilets, before the blockade. If the families of the dead children from the sanctions are due compensation, the bill is going to be large.
The sanctions were legally passed, UN resolutions. How could that possibly come to be, except if the entier Security Council all chip in. Which I doubt. ~String
I doubt anyone expects it to come to be. LIke Russian or US reparations for Afghanistan, it's pipe dreaming. But as far as moral debt, the devil is in the details: it was the US that made sure things like anesthesia, prosthetics, medical supplies, water treatment chlorine, disinfectant, etc, were on the banned list. And the US that set up a ridiculous bureaucracy to slow down what wasn't possible to ban for PR reasons. And the US that provided the muscle.
Why did the US put these things on the banned list? Apart from the deaths of 500,000 children due to lack of basic medication, what did they hope to achieve?
I can only speculate but maybe they thought if they made things so bad the iraqies would get rid of sudam. Its a brutal way to get what you want though
What precedent were they using for this assumption? Or was it, like every other decision they make, a random act of ignorance?
Absolutely not. The question is loaded and makes no specifics whatsoever. Looks more like another Americanophobe thread.
