I really wonder why economical penalties enforced to a country through its citizens or people born there or with ancestors like the USA does with all of its embargos aren't considered just as terrorism. You are punishing other people for something they didn't do just to pressure on their governments. Just like terrorists injuring people. (Yeah I know terrorists usually kill people but I'm pretty sure many people died due to economic embargo as well)

> You are punishing other people.. Just like terrorists injuring people. Because terrorism implies violence. What kind of deaths result from economic embargo?

At this level "might makes right" is the only reality. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Oh yeah they went through UN for the sanctions... right... as if the UN isn't little better than a rubber stamp agency in these areas. On the flip side the US can do little if someone like China or Russia decide to trade with and help out Iran. The problem is the software sector is heavily dominated by the US, so they can disproportionately affect Iran.
