The narrow topic was the number of child casualties caused by the sanctions versus the number of child casualties caused by our forces in Iraq.

You have it backward. The ultimate end would be humanitarian. (At least for starving children that is) even if the impetus for our actions was non-humanitarian.

And I'll look for evidence you knew or cared from such time as the
sanctions started, as opposed to when the politics started.
