If that is the current standard, why isn't half the world the subject of similar "smart sanctions"?

There are many calls for "smart" sanctions that would be more precisely directed against leaders and their entourages.

The states surrounding Iraq that would have to impose such smart sanctions have no economic incentive to do so.

And the Arab world wouldn't give America any more credit for smart sanctions than dumb ones.

We need smart sanctions to be taken on President Mugabe.

It seems time now to introduce smart sanctions against Mugabe and his henchmen.

We need to be preparing smart sanctions now.

Are the measures for the implementation of smart sanctions now in place?

The so-called smart sanctions against the regime are not being particularly smartly enforced.

They should be imposing smart sanctions that hurt those people in power.
