U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright justified the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children. These deaths were the result of the absolute, all-embracing deprivations of the UN embargo. According to Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it." (CBS's Sixty Minutes, May 12, 1996)

In 2012, President Barack Obama awarded her the "highest civilian honor" -- the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
