The Bush administration today announced a broad package of sanctions
against Iran. This development, coming as it does just 29 days after
Senate passage of the Kyl-Lieberman resolution designating Iran's
Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, strikes me as a
significant, and worrying, acceleration in the on-going confrontation
with Iran over its nuclear program. As of this writing, Democratic
presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards and
Barack Obama have issued statements responding to the imposition of
sanctions. Of all of them, Chris Dodd's is of particular merit... Chris
Dodd is absolutely right about this. Sanctions, and their effects, do
not operate in a vacuum.
