Immer wieder schön, seine Dribblings aus dem WM-Finale zu sehen. Ein ganz Großer, stand zu Unrecht etwas im Schatten manch anderer Stars aus diesem Zeitraum.

Weil sie völkerrechtswidrige Luftangriffe befürwortete oder fand, dass eine halbe Million toter irakischer Kinder "es wert waren"?
-
Wichtige Fragen, aber wie immer der falsche Thread. Vielleicht transportiert ihr die Diskussion in den Politikthread?

Nur mal zum Einstieg woher diese "halbe Million" kommen (nämlich direkt aus Saddams Propagandawerkstatt).
Estimates of deaths due to sanctions
Estimates of excess deaths during the sanctions vary widely, use different methodologies and cover different time frames.[10][50] The figure of 500,000 child deaths was for a long period widely cited, but recent research has shown that that figure was the result of survey data manipulated by the Saddam Hussein regime.[14][15] A 1995 The Lancet estimate put the number of excess deaths of children under the age of five at 567,000,[51] based on a small sample size Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) study conducted with Iraqi government field workers that found a child mortality rate of 245 deaths per 1000 births, but when one of the authors of the study followed up on it a year later, "many of the deaths were not confirmed in the reinterviews. Moreover, it emerged that some miscarriages and stillbirths had been wrongly classified as child deaths in 1995."[14][52] A more detailed and seemingly more credible 1999 UNICEF study called the "Iraq Child and Maternal Mortality Survey" (ICMMS), using data from nearly 40,000 households again collated by Iraqi government field workers (except in the autonomous Kurdish region), found that 500,000 children died as a result of sanctions,[53] based on the assumption that the child mortality rate had more than doubled from 56 deaths per 1000 births (during 1984–1989) to 131 deaths per 1000 births (during 1994–1999).[14] However, a 2017 study in The BMJ described "the rigging of the 1999 Unicef survey" as "an especially masterful fraud".[14] The three comprehensive surveys conducted since 2003 all found that the child mortality rate in the period 1995–2000 was approximately 40 per 1000, which means that there was no major rise in child mortality in Iraq after sanctions were implemented.[14] As a corollary, "there was no major improvement in child mortality" as a result of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, contrary to claims made by some of its proponents.[14]
