Sanctions? Sanctions never serve to do anything but impoverish the people of the country they are enacted against. See: Cuba. See: Iraq.

Sanctions serve to appease the war mongers on our side. It's better than bombing.

So we destroy your country and kill your population little by little instead of all at once?

I'm sure Iran will be grateful as they watch their infrastructure collapse day by day, as they become increasingly unable to provide food and medical supplies to their people.

A good tool for the ayatollahs to cry out for the need to rally around the flag, or the book, or whatever. And give the good, hard, sharp chop to those who fail to show the proper degree of enthusiasm in answering the call.

Obama froze NIOC's western assets by executive order?

That's an act of economic warfare that Iran have no choice but to respond to.

It really looks like the US and Israel are backing Iran into a corner trying to make them attack and give legitimacy to a counter attack/ bombing spree.

Let's hope they don't do that.

Cos that could end very badly for a lot of people.

Be Well.

This is how you bait a country into war. Obama learned from the best warmongers and hopes to become one himself.

Funny that nobody really wants to comment on this thread. One side doesn't want to give Obama credit, and the other side wants to pretend it never happened.

I applaud the President.

That's because most people here aren't genuinely anti-war. This act is obviously a step toward true conflict with Iran, and if anyone gave a shit about that they'd be here decrying it.

Instead they'd rather talk about Rick Santorum, etc.

This is the same administration which threatened Iran if they didn't come clean and open up the facilities to the world by December 28th, 2009. His own JC said they are not going to invade anywhere as long as Obama is the Conmander in Chief. Hell look at his hands on approach to Libya, and his cowardice towards the Russians and Syria...

........war is just failed diplomacy......

......better to exhaust all avenues of diplomacy before resorting to war, especially if our country is expected to make the first blow.....

......America is a country that has been lied into two major conflicts in Viet Nam and Iraq.......we should not let that happen again....
