Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price — we think the price is worth it.

Mrs. Bush’s Message to the Children of the U.S. Military
March 31, 2003
To the children of the United States Military,
President Bush and I are very proud of your family members who are serving in America’s armed forces. At this difficult time, every American is especially grateful to your loved ones for protecting our country and defending freedom.
We know being apart from the people you love is not easy. Remember that people all over the country care about you and your family.
President Bush and I send you our very best wishes and our prayers for the safe return of the people you love.
With warmest thoughts,
Laura Bush.
