What war are you talking about? Albright and the Democratic Party were not in power in either 1991 or 2002, the two invasions in Iraq. Albright stopped a life genocide in the balkans with a few weeks of air strikes. That was a war so unavoidable, Germany reversed 60 years of pacifism and felt obliged to participate. The region, today, is prosperous and peaceful. It’s really the best possible example the concept of humanitarian intervention could have, apart from WW2.

> What war are you talking about? Albright and the Democratic Party were not in power in either 1991 or 2002, the two invasions in Iraq. They were in power when they sanctioned and starved millions of innocent iraqis after the war. You know the "silent war". Hundreds of thousands of iraqi children starved to death - something she said was worth it. Not someone people should be defending but everyone has their supporters I guess.

  A "silent war" is to a war as a silent rock opera is to Bohemian Rapsody: something entirely different, even if you try to change the definition of words. War crimes need a war, and crimes. Albright didn't commit any crimes, and you can't even name a war.
