In 1996, Madeleine Albright, then the U.S. secretary of state, was asked on national television what she felt about the fact that 500,000 Iraqi children had died as a result of U.S.-led economic sanctions. She replied that it was “a very hard choice,” but that, all things considered, “we think the price is worth it.”
