When sanctions have been proved a futile pursuit, why do we continue them with Iran?

Question

Iran is no threat to me? Iran has attacked my country several times and has been directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands of my countrymen. I thumb my nose at you!

Answer 1

Because we lost our balls to the libs and the media.  What the h**l else are we going to do?  You do the right thing and you get crucified.  We cannot be a country of action and be liked.  We have to choose I guess.  If Iran does get nukes, President Bush will be to blame for not striking first....if he does he will be mauled again.

Sad sad state we are in.

Answer 2

Iran is surrounded by nations with nuclear capabilities.  

Iran looked at Iraq.  It had no weapons to speak of.  Iraq was invaded.  

Iran looked at North Korea, which is assumed to have nuclear weapons.  It didn't get invaded despite the rethoric of axis of evil.

If you were the leader of Iran, what would you do?  Acquire nuclear weapon in order to protect the country ... or just sit there and let the invasion begin?  This is just like the cold war

all over again.

BTW, whatever decision you make, either way, someone is going to make money.

Answer 3

The same could be asked about North Korea. I see them as a larger threat than Iran. It seems like everyone has over looked the fact that North Korea has nuclear weapons already. The U.S. has been hamstrung by its own internal politics far too long. The media supports whomever is in charge, and often relegates important issues to the back pages or ignores the problem completely. It seems that the U.S. is divided so much that we've lost the capacity to see the forest for the trees!

Answer 4

iran is looking for us to attack, even goading us by taking prisoners, but we must make sure that the rest of the world community (outside of a direct attack on us ) is ok with us pulverizing their country. i really wish the people of iran would see the radical leaders, not the forthright, but radicals for who they really are and just get rid of them in the rules according to allah!

Answer 5

Iran is no threat to you. Look at all the illegal aliens at your parks and businesses. Now thats a threat.

Answer 6

because im a rebel and proud of  it

Answer 7

Sanctions are what Imperialist Powers effect when they believe to have dominion over another national sovereignty other than their own. This is what we've become. It only fuels the current air of unreality in an ureal posture. Rather like Danton's trial where I believe it was queried whether the defendants could expect justice, to which the reply came:

" This is a political trial, it has nothing to do with justice. "

Answer 8

Are you one of those people who don't want us to pull our troops out of Iraq because you fear for the poor people when civil war breaks out?

If so, why aren't you so concerned about doing the same thing to the poor people of Iran?
