Madeline Albright said something stupid.
And incredibly psychopathic. And jaw-droppingly incriminating. For which she was not fired or even disciplined by the Clinton Administration. Me'h, go figure.

The Iraq sanctions was a result of trying to get Saddam out of power.
Yeah, targeting innocent civilians to bring about a political result is usually called "terrorism." But only when "they" do it to "us," right?

The US and the West does not think [the murder of 500,000 children] was [worth it].
Uhhh, yes, Madeline Albright, Secretary of the State during the Clinton Administration, after careful thought, said yes, the Iraqi sanctions was worth murdering 500,000 children.

I do not believe that can ever be reconciled but it is not the intentions of the West to kill innocent people.
So after 10 Iraqi children died, the West could have stopped the sanctions that murdered children. But they didn't.

The following hypothetical news broadcast sounds like your defense:
quote:
. . . Police apprehended the alleged man who stabbed the child 500,000 times in the chest. Said the man, "I just wanted to bring about change in the child's behavior. Although I admit that I did stab the child 500,000 times in the chest, it was not my intention to murder the child. I am not a monster like "true-scottsman" murderers. It was just a non-intentional 500,000 stabbings into the chest. Come to think about it, I think the child was already dead before I even arrived"

It was a mistake. Poor intelligence, a break down in communications who knows?
but it was not on purpose.
Research/interviews have clearly shown it was not poor intelligence, nor a break down in communications. The West DID willfully bomb the hospital . . .

The Kunduz Hospital Bombing
After the first strike, MSF contacted US officials and reported the hospital was being bombed and begged them to halt the attack. Nevertheless, the US AC-130 gunship continued to pummel the hospital repeatedly for more than one hour.
Since the Pentagon has access to video and audio recordings taken from the gunship, they must know what actually occurred. Daily Beast reported that the recordings contain conversations among the crew as they were firing on the hospital, including communications between the crew and US soldiers on the ground. Moreover, AC-130 gunships fly low to the ground so the crew can assess what they are hitting.
But members of Congress who oversee the Pentagon have been denied access to the classified recordings.

Hospital bombing in Afghanistan was premeditated, AP reports
New media revelations have confirmed that the US airstrikes against a Doctors Without Borders/Mdecins Sans Frontires (MSF) medical center in Kunduz, Afghanistan were premeditated and deliberate
American special operations analysts in Afghanistan had been gathering intelligence on the hospital days before it was destroyed on October 3. The official asserts that the analysts had assembled a dossier that included maps with the hospital circled,
However, MSF has repeatedly asserted that no gunmen, weapons or ammunition were housed in their facility. Further, none of the victims killed by the air strikes have been publicly identified as Pakistani, and MSF says that none of its staff at the hospital were Pakistani.
NBC News also reported Thursday that cockpit recordings reveal that the crew actually questioned whether the air strike was legal amid the five separate strafing runs during the attack.
The Department of Defense cited its ongoing internal investigation as their reason not to share the recordings, a further indication that the military operates as a law unto itself. The recordings could contain incriminating dialogue in which higher-ups order their questioning pilots to carry through a premeditated war crime.
In official statements regarding the hospital bombing, US military commanders have changed their story repeatedly.
The latest revelations expose all the previous claims by Obama administration and military officials as lies.

Now then, let's get back to the math, . . . what is the murder-ratio of children of the West to ISIL? I prefer to do the math before we add the West's other instances of intentional child murders. Goodness, the numbers will become so big we'll need NASA's super computers to calculate . . .
