Tehran, Iran - For the last 25 years, international trade with Iran has been subject to an unfair, albeit failed political agenda to isolate Iran with sanctions. Blocking Iran's WTO application was a cheap political tool. But alas, Iran's natural...

We cannot impose sanctions alone and must involve all major trading partners, something which is almost impossible to achieve. Additionally, sanctions on non-essential consumer goods are equally ineffective.
Truly effective sanctions would involve sacrifice by the countries imposing them (e.g. cutting off oil exports/preventing product imports), which nobody- starting with the French- is politically willing to require of their citizens. So, in short, sanctions won't work.
As an alternative, I suggest psychological punishment on the western-oriented youth of Iran which will ultimately force them to change the ruling regime.
Let the western world immediately send their worst rock, rap, hip-hop and other bands to play free concerts throughout Iran. We might even pay them extra for overtime or excess volume. Furthermore, we might also send some of our cultural icons like Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson etc. as Ambassadors of Culture to negotiate.
While this might seem like torture to some, I am convinced that a)since this doesn't (yet)contravene the Geneva Convention and b) is no great loss to our countries, it will be no less effective than any proposed toothless sanctions.

It looks like we got nothing back for our sanctions....time to drop them and engage the world instead of forcing our opinions upon them.

Economic isolation is always counterproductive for all sides concerned. In the case of Iran and the United States, two nations whose leaders are dangerous idiots, commerce and trade are especially important. Trade and commercial relations are our only remaining hope for reversing the current escalation of contrived political tensions toward a full scale war. Through the actions of self-interested and open minded traders, disaster may yet be avoided.
