I'm sure the dead kids know the difference.

Sanctions are a shitty way of trying to change a regime. Haven't we proved that with Cuba and China? But they worked to keep Saddam from developing WMD. Some of us think that foreign policy is about our national security, and not just your rosy-eyed idealism. I think we should lift the sanctions on Cuba -- I take it you would invade?
