Quote:I do want them to give up basically everything. Wouldn't it be great if they went back to the 1970s westernized Iran where they were a US ally and women weren't required to wear burqas? That doesn't change the facts.


 

Do you have a link to the text where it says the economic sanctions will be lifted over time?


 

Or are you just referring to the sanctions on military equipment? That's hardly significant. With enough money they can build their own military equipment, or buy it through a proxy country that didn't sign onto the deal.


 

Q: What do they call lying in DC?


A: Statesmanship.

You want something you cannot have and then complain that you cannot have it. How does that make sense?

 

In addition, just to be clear you are proposing that sanctions in place specifically over Iran's nuclear program be used as means to change an entire culture in a country? That would be akin to the nations way ahead of us on gay marriage applying sanctions to force the right to get with the times.
