It might be argued that sanctions worked on South Africa. I can't say I can think of another example though

I note that Gulf War II demonstrated that the new Patriot missile batteries are pretty effective against NK missile technology.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

Sanctions punish the people, not the dictators."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

yes sanctions are really being misused. since the UN is too weenie to take hard action and too scared of taking no action. sanctions have become the catch all to attempt to take care of dictators w/ no real care taken to when/where sanctions are effective and when they aren't.

Anyway, maybe if Bush hadn't called the DPRK part of the axis of evil and then begin threatening to take those countries out, Kim wouldn't have restarted his nuclear weapons program. He's justified in considering the US an agressive country.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=en

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get the Chinese to allow us to station the 4th ID, the 1st Cav and the 1st Armor in China on the North Korean border? China could be a better ally than Turkey.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=en
