Quote by: rmnunez  You're right gramps, the sanctions didn't work in Iraq either,
they don't work anywhere.
They didn't work in Iraq because Saddam was fabulously wealthy
and felt no hardship, and because despite the suffering of
millions of his subjects, they could bring no pressure to
bear against him for change to reduce those sanctions. |
I'm tempted to even say propaganda works better, at least assuming America would have ever challenged Hussein (or trained him) in a humane manner (i.e., a way which wouldn't punish the whole of Iraq).
The point is, Iraqis didn't make the choice.
