I'll go back to your original post to comment on it...
You're wrong. Plain and simple. Wrong. Sanctions didn't kill. You're only reading half the story. The sanctions weren't in place so the US could say "Hey! Let's see how many babies we can kill today!" They were there because Iraq invaded Kuwait and had stockpiles of weapons. (I still don't believe the WMD theory...not theory...bullshit basically). The alternative to sanctions? Going in and blowing the place up (hey...weeeee're baaaack).
And since you want to post random statistics without some sort of logic behind them, I'll post statistics back that only tell half the story. By your reasoning, we killed a whole lot of Jews too, because we didn't intervene in WW2 soon enough.
As for your Hiroshima comment... still wrong.
