    Next Round of US Sanctions Aims at Destroying Iran’s Economy

    With the next round of negotiations with Iran set to begin in the next month or so, the Obama Administration is imposing yet more rounds of sanctions on the Iranian economy. Whereas others targeted specific segments, the new sanctions aim at damaging broad swathes of the economy with an eye towards collapsing it outright.

    It will be interesting to see how the "liberty" candidates vote on this.

    Thought they had pretty much already done that with the oil contracts not being able to be transacted in dollars.

    I wonder how Rand will vote on these sanctions?
    "Power tends to confuse itself with virtue...conferring upon it a special responsibility for other nations—to make them richer and happier and wiser, to remake them, that is, in its own shining image. Power confuses itself with virtue and tends also to take itself for omnipotence. Once imbued with the idea of a mission, a great nation easily assumes that it has the means as well as the duty to do God's work." - William Fulbright

    I predict more nos, at least from Rand, Amash, and Jones. This will be a test for Rand. I'm not skeptical but I know some of the die hards are.
