Osama bin Laden on U.S. sanctions on Iraq

You have starved the Muslims of Iraq, where children die every day.  It is a wonder that more than 1.5 million Iraqi children have died as a result of your sanctions, and you did not show concern.  Yet when 3000 of your people died, the entire world rises and has not yet sat down.

~ Osama bin Laden, "Letter to the American People," November 2002
