Lets hope sanctions will work on government that persecuting people like this guy , http://youcefnadarkhani.wordpress.com/ and not the people of Iran
Sanctions haven't had much success in th epast, usually only punishing the population, not their leaders. Saddam, after all, had twelve years of them before we finally tired of him. Cuba has been under economic sanctions since the revolution. It's done little other than keep the local national poor after the collapse of the USSR and their sponsorship. I think the current campaign (and no, I have no idea who could be running such a campaign, just a lot of coincidental 'accidents' and 'acts of terrorism') of targetted assassinations and sabotage are entirely appropriate and stand the best chance of success. There are those who disagree but I doubt many could argue that open warfare would be better. Better a destabilized Iran than open warfare or a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.
Sanctions are a great way to create an enemy and more of those ignorant terrorist. Just starve the population, cutt off access to medical tx and supplies, and you can create a very angry enemey for the next war. I'm sure there is nothing Ima-did-a-nutjob can say that will stop isreal from instigating this one. You know isreal will not fight it, the USA will. LOL... That is the plan is it not? And the USA wonders why countries in South America, refuse to open up for US Corporations. LOL.
