1. Sec Albright thought that the deaths of 500,000 children as a result of sanctions was "worth it".

Hard to regain trust in someone who says such a thing, for me.

This attitude, and acceptance and defense of it by one of our historic prominent Democratic Secretaries of State is very worrying to me.
Why do I say this?
My homeland is currently suffering from US extraterritorial sanctions specifically designed to destroy the Cuban economy, that is resulting in hard conditions relating to food and cooking fuel ... well ... mission accomplished.
Except for one thing ... Cuban solidarity remains strong!

Ending sanctions on Cuba forthwith should be a Democratic Party plank - F#ck the intransigent RW "exiles" who dictate US policy and get full coverage of their RW mewling.
