U.N. Security Council votes to impose new sanctions on Iran
11:32 AM EDT Wednesday, June 9, 2010
--------------------
The U.N. Security Council voted 12 to 2 to impose a fourth round of sanctions on Iran, bringing to a close months of diplomatic efforts by the Obama administration to penalize Tehran for building a covert nuclear facility and accelerating its enrichment of uranium.
Brazil and Turkey voted against the measure, while Lebanon abstained. The measure modestly reinforces a range of economic, high-technology and military sanctions against Iran, and targets more than 40 Iranian elites and companies linked to the nation's nuclear program with a travel ban and an asset freeze.

I am not at all sure it can be effective. This guy is a nut job and doesnt care about his people. If he has a nuke there is no doubt in my mind he will use it, eventually.
I am very glad that the situation in Iran is not being ignored. I just can't help but feel that sanctions will hurt the regular citizens and not do much to hurt those responsible. I truly do hope that I am wrong. I worry about what the next step will be. I do not want Iran to have any sort of nuclear capabilities...I think the President is a madman. I just worry that the only thing left to do will be to go to war with them, and again, that serves to harm the average person trying to just live their life. I don't know...the whole situation is scary either way.
