UK, Canada, and the US Sanction Iran Over Nukes
The deepest set of sanctions yet were announced today against Iran by the UK, the US, and Canada in response to the IAEA report released last week. The US sanctions target Iran's petrochemical industry, a primary revenue source, but do not target the Iranian central bank, citing concerns about the effects on the global economy. The UK has gone farther, in fact to a place they have never gone before, cutting all financial ties with Iran. Canada is restricting almost all financial transactions that involve the Iranian government.
The EU is expected to follow suit shortly. France has sent letters to various heads of state urging "new sanctions of unprecedented magnitude" and complete isolation of the Iranian central bank and cessation of all oil purchases from Iran.
Iran will be paying dearly for their defiance. Their economy is already in deep trouble from long-term sanctions and the general world economic troubles all nations are currently facing, so much so that there were major demonstrations at the most recent election. Much more could well result in a revolution. People are getting testy there.

The folks that make those decisions won't be affected by the sanctions. Unless they get the Qaddfi Treatment, of course.

Iran has the right to exist and defend itself. To single it out is anti-Semitic.

Are the Demublicans (or is that Republicrats?) beating their war drums once again?

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Well, they won't be starved or forced to wear blankets or sleep in a cardboard box, anyway. Might cramp their style a bit in other ways, though, especially considering what's going on with their buddies in Syria right next door.Gawdzilla wrote:The folks that make those decisions won't be affected by the sanctions.

On the one hand we have a country based on a civilisation that has existed for several thousand years, including ruling much of the known world. And you don't acheive that by being short sighted.
and on the other a country created only a couple of hundred years ago (over a tax dispute) - and led by a corporate Uncle Tom.
Which is the more likely to launch armageddon?

Meddle? The US meddle in other countries like Jesus is going out of style. Iran doesn't invade other countries like the US and Israel do all the time.Schneibster wrote:Sure.

And you are stereotyping Iranians by claiming they are not Arabs. Stereotyping is a typical racist activity.
Plus, you totally missed the ridicule of Jewish propaganda that was the main point.

They do, yes, but until they withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, they can't have nuclear arms.Gawd wrote:Iran has the right to exist and defend itself. To single it out is anti-Semitic.
And, what are you saying, that Iran has a right to develop nuclear arms now? Even Iran is not claiming that right, and they deny that they are doing it. Are you saying they are lying?
