I'm not as sure about the 2nd Iraq war, but there's no question that the 1rst one (and the embargo) was even more destructive than what is happening now in Ukraine. (Or maybe not any more, the Russians have been "catching up" fast..?) OTOH there's that infamous quote about half a million dead children (slightly less in practice ?) having been "worth it", while Putin's regime prefers to deny/lie in those cases ?
