Sir

Iran sanctions by USA will not work

Now this is not a trade questions the Axis of Evil was based on the Islamic values.

It is fallacy to stop me to trade with other when the outsiders want my commodities they cannot get form the ones you outcast. Here is what I mean. Iran sells the product to the Middle East, India, Europe, many other countries and not just America. It is just like the story of Ostrich hiding the head in the sand when the storm comes. Iran does not need American dollars that are on decline. Euro now is 1.25 American dollars. The New York traders in fact have started accepting the Euro as the cash as their cry is;"When we come to Sates, we do not want to haggle in price as we are accustomed to the now strong Euro".

Any threats have never worked in children, adults, and nation. There is always a way to come back to beat the sanctions. China was blamed for the lead sprayed toys, cheap shoes, dumplings. Has any stopped buying the Chinese goods? Indian goods? No. All look at what is they want and that is it. No politics in my way of purchase. I need my freedom with my pay and my savings. How come anyone comes to guide me in this.

I not only disagree with the powerful arms to guide all to buy what they want to sell, but this is against the economical cannons. It is choice, scarcity, demands, and my pleasure. No more, no less. This is from one paper, Finally, when asked what their expectation of the value of the US dollar was in relation to other currencies, traders continue to see a decline, with over 56% of the respondents saying the dollar will fall "moderately to significantly" over the remainder of 2008. Since clearly most traders are not shorting markets consistently, it makes the drop in the number of profitable forex trades they are expecting more understandable.

I thank you
