"I think hell make a horrible president, but hes not wrong on sanctions being acts of war."
In the case of Iran, sanctions are an act of war in the sense that they acknowledge the fact that Iran is already engaged in a de facto war.
Iran has as its stated goal the obliteration of a sovereign state (Israel) and the destruction of the culture and civilization of the whole western world through jihad and sponsorship of Islamofascist terrorism. In this, it has forfeited any right to respect of its own sovereignty.
If these sanctions are an act of war, it is only a recognition of a condition that already exists. They are a response to the state of war, not its incipient.

Whatever happened prior to Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini happened. Nothing we can do about it. But as G-d is my Witness, had I been president the day the Iranian islamic bastards invaded our embassy and took Americans hostage, first I would have ordered B 52s fully loaded into the air, and then told them that our hostages had better be on planes back to the US before they heard them overhead because the next sound would have been BOOM!
Diplomacy never won anything. Ever.
