The Iranians claim they filed the changes in their nuclear programs 18 months before completion as it is stipulated. They have agreed to the inspections. And still, even over a weekend, more and more calls for tougher and tougher sanctions continue to fill the news. What more need the Iranians do in order to comply with the nonproliferation treaty they willingly signed not as a punishment but as an act of cooperation and good will. I'm afraid that this situation, just like the Iraq situation in 2002/2003 is about to begin spiraling out of countrol until it becomes irrepairable and once again civilians will pay with their lives. One need not send in troops or jet with missiles to create collateral damage. Unecessary overbearing sanctions will do just as well to destroy an economy, starve people, decay infrastructure and deny people basic services which are needed ty the people. Sanctions are little more than what was known as extortion in an earlier time. Play ball with the mob...you did ok, DOn't play with the mob, you find your shipments don't arrive on time, another black maket replaced free enterprise. Hospitals do without and at the lowest level people like you and I find shortages in basic everday goods and services. Make our governmet think twice about this approach. The sabre rattling grows stronger even with every consession the Iranians concede to. This could get ugly soon...over nothing. We've seen it all before.
