Pundita sees reason for optimism.
"The new sanctions are toxic because they effectively limit a country's access to the global ATM. In that sense, they impose -- at last -- a real price on countries such as North Korea and Iran that have blithely defied U.N. resolutions on proliferation."
Capitalism is our friend. The laissez-faire trump card for winning.

Sanctions will work with Iran IF the UN, the EU and Putin don't screw around with it.

Sanctions? Is Bill Clinton back in office or something?

\"Sanctions? Is Bill Clinton back in office or something?\"
We\'ve basically gone back to the same agreement we had with North Korea when Clinton left. Only now they have nukes. Watch the White House declare what a bold diplomatic step they made and the Dan Riehls of the interweb praise them...for going back to the same type of agreement we had under Clinton.
Why aren\'t you talking about Walter Reed, Dan?

Sanctions? Not so sure they will work. An air strike against their refineries could do wonders if the sanctions fail.
Joe, go troll somewhere else. Get a life already.
