    In a 1996 interview, CBS journalist Lesley Stahl expressed her concern about the effect of US sanctions on Iraq: “We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?” Albright unhesitatingly replied: “I think that is a very hard choice, but the price, we think, the price is worth it.”

    My only regret is that she never faced tribunal.

    The only thing I know about Madeline Albright is that she gave Kim Jong Il a basketball signed by Michael Jordan, which I’m sure is probably the only epic and based thing she did.

    Good. I had typed up something else too but it may have been too much even for this place. But the sentiment comes across.

      I actually want to see him be alive just for 2 or 3 more years, so he can see the empire he helped building starting to collapse. There is no bigger punishment then destroying the life of a person, and Kissinger dedicated himself for the empire during his entire life, so him watching the US collapse will be better an better punishment then everything else
