I agree with almost everything you said, especially "personal decisions" - that ultimately is the most powerful statement.

>> Embargoes are highly successful. <<

Except for this - depends on what the goal is. If the goal is to stop a foreign power from doing something like terrorism that is transnational - outside their borders, yes, I agree, it sure helps.

But it doesn't help the majority of the people within said country at all.

Somehow those people need to be given a taste of prosperity and freedom and then they will make sure that never again does a Saddam Hussein darken their door.
