    That is a misrepresentation and over simplification of a diplomatic tool. There are many kinds of sanctions and they are put into place for many reasons. Why should we let dictators use our financial institutions? Why would we let corrupt individuals use us to enrich their selves at the cost of their own people? Why would we not use our influence to push for fair, democratic elections?
