This week the United States along with Great Britain and Canada will unveil new political and economic sanction on the country of Iran. Britain will be cutting off all ties to the banks of Iran and the U.S. and Canada will have a number of political sanctions enforced. All these sanctions come after speculation arose that Iran has completed at least 1 nuclear device. The sanctions wre hoping to put further pressuer on the Iranians to the point that they wiil stop furthering their aims at nuclear weapons.

I personally believe that the sanctions are not working. We have put sanctions on Iran before and they still have gotten to this point. I know that the banks will hurt Iran when the money from Great Britain is cut off but will it be enough? I don't think we need to invade Iran but at this point the sanctions dont seem to be working as planned. The previous sanctions were setup in the hopes of not allowing the Iranians to produce a nuclear weapon and now they may have them. If they do indeed have a weapon then the sanctions would have seemed to failed. What do you think should be done about the nuclear program in Iran? Should we keep placing sanctions on the country when it seems to be failing?
