Madeleine Albright, when questioned about the Unicef report which had 500,000 children dying in Iraq as a direct result of sanctions remarked that "the price was worth it".

Forum: Geology and the Great Flood
Thread: Soracilla defends the Flood?
Post #: 35Just another typical Bill Birkeland message. He has also posted other messages upthread.We pretty much need a special "Posts of the Month" topic, titled "Bill Birkeland has posted again".MooseAdded by edit: OK - Too much of an understatement. Message 35 seems to be exceptionally powerful, even on the BB scale.This message has been edited by minnemooseus, 10-26-2004 11:58 PM
