Do you think every single country in the world should be forced to import American goods?

So what if Iran wants to prohibit US goods from getting into their country? They are only hurting their own people.

Medical devices, food, and seeds; $140 million worth in six months? That's a literal drop in the bucket for the US; too bad for the Iranian people.
We should be fighting for the right of Iranian people to drink Coke, eat Snickers and watch Disney DVDs

Not having goods from the US will hurt the people? How so? What goods would they be? Does the US have something exclusive that can't be found in any other country?

This isn't about the Iranian nuke program. This is about big money and envelopes passed under the table.
The existing sanctions stay in place, technology is not being imported to Iran. What existing imports are going to be halted by Iran, the $140M is primarily grain and medical supplies which they desperately need.

This treaty will not change anything regarding exports from the US unless Iran decides they don't need food.

Oh, I totally agree. That's just one reason why I don't understand why right-wingers are making a tempest in a teapot over this. $140 million, as I said, is a drop in the bucket. Is the loss of $140M really going to make a dent in our economy?

I especially enjoy the posts that blame Obama for something the Iranian leader says.

It's really the Ayatollah making a fool of himself.

The US is releasing money that was withheld during the sanctions. That money belongs to Iran. I don't know about the US "sending" them money, especially when the sanctions took effect in 1979.

Rush Limbaugh tells them it is very bad and it is all Obama's fault, they don't even know what is being blocked if anything.

Liberals falling all over themselves agreeing with the mad mullahs. I guess they also agree with the mad mullahs hanging gays because they are brain damaged.

Right?
