I know this is all off-topic, but all this talk of sanctions makes me remember the infamous Albright quote (she was Secretary of State under Clinton)
Quote:
Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it.
