#2 Ahmadinejad said the sanctions were not important but were part of a campaign of psychological warfare against Iran that was designed to provoke dissent within the country.

Some people in the crowd in Ahvaz on Tuesday tried to remind the president of the need to address domestic problems. State television showed a placard carried by one spectator that read: "Inflation, unemployment, insecurity, drug addiction have desiccated the tree of the revolution." Inflation is officially at 12 percent but thought to be much higher, and an estimated 3 million people are unemployed.

Hmmmmmmm? Working already maybe?

#3 High unemployment and the other problems have been chronic for a couple of years; youth unemployment was reported as around 70-80% back in 2004.

Working already? Maybe. The sanctions are supposedly limited to Iran's nuke program. But with all the problems Iran has, the threat alone is damaging.

#4 The US already voted in Demonrat majorities in both houses of Congress. That's pretty humiliating already.
