Dear Eric, Here's the quote: Leslie Stahl: "We have heard that a half million children have died (as a result of sanctions against Iraq). I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?" Madeleine Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it." -- A CBS Sixty Minutes interview between Leslie Stahl and U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, on 12 May 1996 As for the video footage, the International Action Center might have it on tape. Phone: 212.633.6646 - Rania Masri "In a sense, it is a total war against the past. ... History is being erased, with no possibility of being recovered." -- Professor John Russell of the Massachusetts College of Art "[Babylon] is where you have ... the first examples of writing, the first villages, the first wheel, the first boats," says Moyad Said, director of Baghdad's Iraqi Museum. Yet the 20th century turmoil that now engulfs this troubled region threatens to destroy Babylon's history forever. -------- Iraq Action Coalition http://leb.net/IAC/ -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a discussion list run by Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
