A comment by a representative of one of the so-called frontline
states (he was testifying before the Commons Committee on Human
Rights(?)) made me think of this for the first time.  

He said: "We know sanctions will hurt us, but we don't mind" (or 
words to that effect).

The synic in me could not help but reply "I'm sure you don't care
because you'll just demand compensation from the 'rich' (western)
countries."
