re: How did someone as naive and ignorant as Madeleine Albright ever serve?

Albright was a monster.

It's an idiotic stance, because sanctions, especially against poorly developed countries, usually hurt the innocent the most.

But ironically, people will see her stupidity, but criticize Obama for lifting Cuba sanctions and praise Trump for wanting to reinstate them.

At the end of the day though, none of them are the "evil" indivduals. They may be stupid, but I think your view is problematic because the truly evil individuals are the leaders of those countries themselves. And if those imposing sanctions, and considering casualties an unfortunate cost are evil, then what does that make the leaders? And what does evil mean, if we can't differentiate them?
