I'm with you on this one LoM. Apparently Madeleine Albright in some posters eyes was as evil as Saddam Hussein. Though Hussein, if he was still with us, would argue he didn't gas his own people just a bunch of Kurds who happened to live in Iraq.

Put on the spot, her words are callous about the plight of people living under his rule as sanctions bit. After invading another country and then remaining in power after the first Gulf War he did wreak massive retribution on the poor Shia and Marsh Arabs.

Though Raymondo's You Tube wrongly attributes her quote to the falsity of WMD, as she had long left the stage before the 2nd Gulf War, it does go to show that the decency or otherwise of a politician's life and their achievements can be defined in the eyes of some by how they react to a single question.
