The sanctions--as they are now-- punish ordinary Iranians. It's logically and emotionally inconsistent to claim human rights concerns and at the same time defend sanctions that degrade the quality of life for the average Iranian. Lift (or at least modify) the sanctions even if there is no IRI nuke concession!
Iran's economic predicament is the main card at the disposal of the international community. Appeasement, in the form of a premature softening of sanctions, would only embolden the hard-liners who are doggedly determined to develop a nuclear weapon. Indeed, why would Iran abandon its nuclear program if sanctions are eased and the country's economy begins to breathe again?
What pushed Egypt's Sadat to make a foreign policy volte-face was not political appeasement but economic exhaustion. The same applies today to Rouhani and Iran.

Why is there no choice in this poll for keeping the sanctions in place as long as the Islamist terrorist regime is in power?
Ari jaan,
I could not agree more with your sentiments regarding sanction against Iranian people.

It's because of the IRI's deep compassion for the "Iranian people" that it is desperate to get the sanctions lifted. It's because sanctions hurt the people and not the regime. Yeah, right.

هدف آقای خامنه ای از این مذاکرات این است که هر چه زودتر امتیازاتی بگیرد که وضعت اقتصادی کشور که ورشکست است را نجات دهد و همانند جریان جنگ ایران و عراق ، آقای خامنه ای میخواهد خود را پیروز نشان دهد و بگوید ما هم غنی سازی را ادامه می دهیم و هم تحریمها را برداشته ایم
