Sanctions against North Korea? How many are in the U.S's bag?

OK, every time North Korea does something we don't approve of, and the pursuit of Nuclear Weapons seems on the top of the list, we threaten them with new Sanctions. So here's my question. How many more sanctions could we employ? Let the American people and North Korea see what we are considering in total, rather than in piecemeal. If you want to stop someone from doing something and you are threatening them with some action, wouldn't it be wise to share all of what sanctions we are considering if you wanted to get them to stop. Otherwise they continue to build more nuclear material for bombs and also Missiles to deliver them. We either can or can't influence them, short of war. Oh and while we are at it, what about what we are willing to do regarding China and her role in this? You see I think it is all nothing but show for the American people as we are not willing to go to war over this, unless North Korea used a Nuclear Missile. I don't even think we would go to war with them if they shared the technology with others, because they already have with Iran and now Miramar (Burma). Quite honestly, I think Americans are getting tired of this strategy used by every Administration, Republican and Democrat alike. Don't you?

Iran: What's it up to?

Several news announcements coming from Iran today. The first, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave instructions on Sunday for the production of higher-grade nuclear reactor fuel, prompting the United States and Germany to threaten carefully targeted new sanctions against Tehran. This would allow them to develop a bomb rather than just use it for Nuclear Power.

The second announcement was that they had detained 7 they claimed were tied to US-funded radio station they said was for spying. I have been watching Iran since their elections take actions to try to taunt Western powers, including the United States, into taking a bold move against them. I guess the figure, and rightfully so, that in doing so they would help unite this divided country. My guess is that they will continue to stick something in our eyes in hopes of precipitating a more severe reaction. We must not do this. Let the people of Iran decide what they want from their government. We should stay out of it. It will be difficult as they will continue to raise the stakes until either we respond to the provocation or Israel does.

If the people of Iran continue to show the courage to defy Ahmadinejad and Cleric Ali Khamenei, their "Supreme Leader" and are able to disrupt their government enough, they may have a chance to changing the history being written. It does take huge courage but every society has in its midst those who have the courage. We had Franklin, Jefferson and Washington to rewrite our history. They need to find their leaders of courage rather than the gangsters they have now.
