In 1st foreign policy move since Obama’s re-election, administration sets new Iran sanctions
Source: Associated Press
The Obama administration has imposed financial sanctions against officials and government bodies in Iran that the U.S. blames for jamming satellite broadcasts and blocking Internet access for ordinary Iranians. Thursday’s action is the first foreign policy announcement since President Barack Obama won re-election. <snip> Read more: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-1st-foreign-policy-move-since-obamas-re-election-administration-sets-new-iran-sanctions/2012/11/08/84c7cefa-29d7-11e2-aaa5-ac786110c486_story.html Good - shows that Obama is firm in his commitment to nuclear non-proliferation, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Perhaps Iran would do a complete turn-around if its leaders read the current issue of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists; http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2012-11/sp-bgn110112.php
<snip> ... a special issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, published by SAGE, "The German Nuclear Exit," shows that the nuclear shutdown and an accompanying move toward renewable energy are already yielding measurable economic and environmental benefits, with one top expert calling the German phase-out a probable game-changer for the nuclear industry worldwide. <snip>

Last edited Thu Nov 8, 2012, 07:07 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) I don't see how financial terrorism and drone bombings are fine and dandy just because it's "the good guy" doing it. There used to be some pretence of opposition to that sort of thing under the disgraceful reign of Bush the Lesser.
