Paying the Price: America's murderous policy of killing Iraqi children

Four days after Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, the United States under the disguise of United Nations, imposed a near-total financial and trade embargo on the nation of Iraq. The idea(as stated to the world) was to ‘force Saddam Hussein to withdraw from Kuwait, to pay reparations and to disclose and eliminate any weapons of mass destruction.’
But when the true picture of effects on the Iraqi people during sanctions‎ came into the public eye, a million or more Iraqis has been killed by means of malnutrition and disease, Many victims were children under the age of five. When Madeleine Albright, a secretary of state under Bill Clinton was asked, if the death of so many innocents was worth the price?, she remorselessly said, “We think the price is worth it.”

This John Pilger documentary(shot in year 2000) is an analysis of the effect of economic sanctions on Iraqi people. It is a testament to the international crimes against the Iraqi people, long before U.S’s ‘War on Terror’.
