#3 The Rhodesians built up an excellent economy exactly because of sanctions (whilst waging a war on two fronts). About the only things they imported would have been oil and helicopters. Is Zimbabwe any more demo ratic now than Rhodesia was then? No, and it's a lot more violent, the war aside. Keep the sanctions, tighten the travel restrictions until ZANU-PF, spit, cease to exist.
