the sanctions have multiple purposes, but one is to truly assist a positive change in Iran.
They have gotten the people of Iran hopefully to the point--this is the great culture of Persia--hopefully for the people of Iran an opportunity for them, the Green Revolution, to finally succeed.
Mr. Rouhani is a smooth talker, in my opinion. He is different from Ahmadinejad, who was a flamethrower, a bomb thrower, with his rhetoric, but he seems to continue to hang his own people and smile in the process of that.

Constituents across South Carolina's Second Congressional District are hurting because of the President's failing government health care takeover. As millions of Americans continue to receive policy cancelations, it is increasingly clear…
Small business is the backbone of our economy. America's greatness is heavily dependent on small businesses' success in creating jobs. In South Carolina, small businesses make up half of our economy. Sadly, these hardworking business…
