> Now, why would anyone in their right mind oppose sanctioning this country? There is no point to bring selective events/actinos. That's just memory bias and it's called selective omission. It's like if someone just brings the atomic bombing of Japan without context. The irony is that, that is actually the regime we put in power in their country by our intervention. So whose fault is that? Sanctioning is the best way to support right wings in those countries. It's the best propaganda tool we can give them. What you want is to open dialogue, support democrat parties, make deal with them to let them show their people what benefits they get out of a deal. Which is exactly what P5+1 was trying to do before U.S. withdrawal by the new administration. And please don't say that deal wasn't enough, because it is a suprise to see intelligent, educated person expecting to have a 100% reform in a country in one day and one step.
