My point was that a large number of people died as a result of the sanctions. Assign blame however you want, it doesn't change the conclusion. (I do share your distrust of the numbers, though for a different reason - I never saw the methodologies used to derive them, so have no basis for trust.)
And if you want to talk about corruption, and BILLIONS siphoned off, I think the post-2003 record eclipses that $15bn by quite a lot.
