Too true. Although, in many cases they shouldn't be, either.

It would only make matters worse for the local populations. In most cases, political sanctions constitute the right solution, not financial ones.
That applies to Iran, for instance. (And I have that straight from Shirin Ebadi.)
Could also be argued whether Chavez is a dictator - he's been legally elected in fair and open elections. He's quite a character, though, and an unabashed populist.
