Less, That analogy does not work when the declared reasons for the sanctions were commonly understood to cause enough hardship to the populous that they would be compelled to engage in regime change on their own. In hindsight those declared reasons were nothing more than wishful thinking. Has there ever been an example in modern history where economic sanctions successfully promoted a change in the regime? You might as well blame the poverty and the starvation in North Korea on the sanctions, not on the fact that Lil' Kim is firing ballistic missiles and developing nukes. Tenchusatsu
