Obama Administration Waging War on Iranian Civilians


Or perhaps "terrorism" is a better term for what Obama is waging.

From a November 2, 2012 New York Times article by by Thomas Erdbrink:
TEHRAN — Sitting on one of the many crowded benches in the waiting room of the International Red Crescent’s pharmacy in central Tehran, Ali, 26, was working his phone. After nearly six weeks of chasing down batches of Herceptin, an American-made cancer medicine, Ali, an engineer, was wearing out his welcome with friends and relatives in other Iranian cities, who had done all they could to rustle up the increasingly elusive drug.
[...snip...]
Herceptin, like many other Western-made medicines, has become increasingly hard to obtain in Iran as a result of the American-led sanctions meant to force Iran to stop enriching uranium, a critical element in what the United States says is a nuclear weapons program.

Iranian doctors, patients and officials say that, in particular, a ban on financial transactions is so effective that even medicines and other critical supplies that are exempted from the sanctions for humanitarian reasons are no longer exported to the Islamic Republic.
[...snip...]
Officials here estimate that potentially about six million patients, many of them with cancer, are affected by the shortages.

For Iran’s sick, it amounts to life on what feels like the front lines of a battle between governments.

Every day patients and their relatives line up at special pharmacies in Tehran, where those suffering from cancer, hemophilia, thalassemia, kidney problems and other diseases are increasingly told the foreign-made medicines they need are no longer available.


It appears from the article that Obama is suffering from terminal cancer of the attitude that only a radical presidentectomy might cure. It may be the cause of that sickly grimace he wears in place of a human smile?

In case memories are failing now since Obama took over Bush/Clinton foreign policies, what Obama is doing now to Iranians is what Bush & Clinton did to Iraqis...

This film by John Pilger was made before George W. Bush invaded Iraq in 2003, but after George H.W. Bush attacked Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War in response to the Iraqi invasion Of Kuwait. "After Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, the United Nations (backed strongly by the US and UK) imposed harsh sanctions on Iraq that lasted for 10 years (1991-2001); the harsh restrictions on imports of everything, including access to key medicines, resulted in over a million deaths, more than half a million of which were women and children. That's more deaths than the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan and 9/11 combined."
