I understand that the HN zeitgeist is not circumspect about topics like Iran and petroleum because there is a strong distaste for anything that seems imperialistic here, but that's not a reason to make uninformed arguments and accuse me of cheering the idea of someone's death. I'm making some fairly informative and historically accurate comments. If you disagree with the substance then please do so without accusing me of being inhumane.
> Governments have responsibilities to their own citizens, not foreign corporations.
Governments ensure citizens' prosperity by protecting economy and trade via foreign-facing agreements. The beneficiaries of smart foreign trade are the citizens themselves. Iran is an example of this; its government's budget has been funded almost entirely by petroleum revenue for decades.
