Some Help For Race For Iran
Israel's relentless campaign to incite a U.S. led military attack on Iran intensified this year. It will further intensify next year and will continue until the bombs fall on Tehran.
With many U.S. troops still in Iraq and Afghanistan a low risk military attack is not yet possible. But by the end of 2011 U.S. troops will likely have left Iraq and by the end of 2014 they will probably have left Afghanistan. After that an attack on Iran is very likely.
The history of the war on Iraq has shown that the chance of a low risk attack can and will be furthered by long years of ever increasing sanctions and a parallel campaign of brainwashing of the U.S. public. That is why the ongoing campaign against Iran is extremely dangerous.
The only people who argue with some success against that campaign, against war and for a big U.S.-Iran relation realignment are Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett. At their blog, the Race for Iran, they are asking for contributions to help that cause.
If you can, please send them some $$$s.

Yes, that is what history would show.
Won’t happen. (I hope.)
The sanctions are not effective, who pays attention to them?
Many US cos. sell their stuff in Iran, allowed and all. They sell cigarettes (big trade), booze, perfume, clothes, shoes, medication, weapons and military gear, aircraft and aircraft parts, medical machinery, not to mention corn, wood pulp, soy, vegetable seeds, bull semen, chemical fertilizer, and more.
For US imports from Iran (very minimal for sure) see link from the US Census Bureau:

In CH US citizens can no longer open bank accounts, Iranians have no problems at all. (A low level ex. but quite telling.)
Iranians are not deprived of child toys, eye-glasses, basic medication, parts for electrical plants, paper goods, chlorine, antibiotics, footballs, orthopedic materials, medical machinery, seeds, various widgets, boom boxes, syringes, and on and on, as Iraq was.
Russia and China are doing brisk trade with Iran, including agreements for future energy deals, as amply reported in the press.
The sanctions are a joke, a masquerade. Everybody laughs at the US, eh what exactly are they forbidding and what is their authority? No pistachios or dates from Iran in the US?
Iran exports its oil to Japan, China, India and S Korea.
