Just a quick comment, before I resume my procastination/slow progress on my response in regards to the not forgoten White House/Pentagon matter.
quote:
...policing or enforcing sanctions...
To me, the sanctions themselves were highly morally questionable. What did they accomplish, versus what suffering of the Iraqi civilians did they cause? Were they intended to prod the Iraqi people into rising against Saddam?
Likewise for the Cuban embargo. I'm inclined to think that such things mostly only hurt the weak and powerless, not the responsible leadership.
