Do you support Tougher Sanctions on Iran?

Question

or possibly war?
With France recently calling for more sanctions and warning of a possible war with Iran, what are your thoughts?

Sanctions in Iraq killed more than 1 million Iraqi children during the Clinton administration -according to UN estimates- and is cited by Bin Laden as one of the reasons for 911.

Do you support sanctions, or should we join the EU and go to war?

Can anyone here be so politically ignorant that they have to ask "for what?"
We shall see.....

Answer 1

Sanctions resulted in deaths because Saddam didn't sue the oil-for-food money for food.

Although yes, the US was blamed for the starvation.

Iran cannot be allowed to have nukes. The only hope is that the good people of Iran rise up against their insane government.

Otherwise, the only choice is to fight them now, or fight them later, when they have nukes.

Answer 2

Well you have to keep in mind that it's not because of the sanctions that 1 million Iraqis died. It's because the Baath Regime did whatever they wanted and clearly did not care for the people of their country. So if sanctions weren't in place it wouldn't have happened...but you have to keep in mind of who is responsible for the final outcome?.... As far as Iran goes... Sanctions would be a good thing right now. War should be a last resort. But this time its nice to see that France means business. If everyone agrees..or at least the majority on what to do with Iran..then that's gotta be the best idea.

Answer 3

stressful language---why would not Israel would not think of it is stressful, they think of he's taking part in patty cake with Iran. I doubt something of the international places interior the area experience greater look after now that Obama has stated to Iran" in case you will unclench your fist we could make greater effective a hand" The voters of Iran, who might like a undemanding election, have been greater effective than slightly disappointed while Obama pretended like a insurrection wasn't occurring.. the full international is annoying that Obama can basically communicate the communicate and no longer able or too green to stroll the walk in any efficient way.

Answer 4

Sanctions or war for what?

Iran is -- at worst -- pursuing technology that a dozen other countries already have. But there is no proof of that.

Most likely -- they are simply refusing to allow UN inspectors into their private facilities -- something that the US does not allow, nor does Britain, Russia, Israel or many other countries.

So, we can sanction them, or invade them, because they are claiming their sovereign rights as a nation. But so far, that's all they've done.

That being said, sanctions are basically our way of saying "we don't like you, so we're not going to talk to you any more" -- which is a much better response than using military force.

Answer 5

Perhaps you need to update yourself on that French Foreign Minister's statement.He has back tracked on that statement substantially.

The EU at this point has NO BLOODY INTENTION of warring with Iran any more or less than they do with North korea etc etc.

I suggest the world starts imposing tough sanctions upon one of the world's worst examples of STATE TERRORISM .

The US has waged an ILLEGAL war of choice all based upon a pack of filthy stinking LIES that has resulted in the slaughter of well over 400,000 INNICENT IRAQI CIVILIANS.

You stinking using and abusing hypocrites !!!!


THE WORLD NEEDS TO APPLY SANCTIONS AGAINST THE US NOW before it does any more of it's evils in the world.

Answer 6

Yes. I have since Carter was President and could never figure out why we let these people pull the crap they have over the years.


Think Dresden. The enemy is faceless and only a target. If they have children then it is they that should think of their safety while we think of ours.

Answer 7

Sanctions won't work. Bomb them now, or pay the price later.

A nuclear armed Iran is unacceptable.

Answer 8

No and no. Both ideas are stupid and non-productive--except those who are craving another quagmire and more profits for the defense industry and military contractors.

Answer 9

Iran should be left alone, they have a right to nukes to defend itself against Israel

Answer 10

Sanctions will work.
