11. The chickens did come home.......to roost?
Responding to concerns over the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children, Clinton's Secretary of State Madeleine Albright would famously state "I think it is a very hard choice, but the price -- we think the price is worth it."

I also remember her also saying, "It was collateral damage and that it was worth it" . . . . It was the first time I heard the word 'collateral damage' being used like it was an okay thing, until Timothy McVeigh used the expression to justify the children he killed in the OK bombing.
