Everyone needs to remember that the sanctions against rogue countries such as Iran & North Korea apply to all companies and people within these countries. That is how economical preasure is put on.....from within also. The Arab Spring was brought about from within the Arab countries due to the treatment of the people and by the people. They are only one of the factors that bring about change. Does it hurt the average person.....YES. Is it our call as an individual....NO. But I still have to obey the laws of my country. Which I served for in the Military and am very proud to be American by birth & Southern by the grace of God!
