Embargoes and sanctions aren't often realized to be the tools of death that they are. People don't realize, but economic stress increases the mortality rate of a nation. Less money for hospitals, unexpected expenses, more stress overall (bad for health). I think it's something like 40,000 deaths per year for every percentage point of unemployment.

Economic warfare is murder all the same as gun and tank warfare. You cripple a nations ability to contribute to global society.
