Could someone tell me a couple things:

An uniformed but listening friend is equating Iran an Afghanistan with Iran in regards to sanctions and more importantly, US in regards to the particular lifting of sanctions.

Explaining that is a complicated issue and one can’t equate one country to another.

But is there any brief summary of each country might help.

Thanks for any help. I’m not a geopolitical wonk for sure and don’t want to spout out stuff I know nothing about.

"Our National credo or ....National Curse..."

Ask people to come up with an image that symbol- izes America’s immigrant heritage, and many of them will choose the Statue of Liberty. A gift from the people of France, she has watched over New York Harbor since 1886, and on her base is a tablet inscribed with words penned by Emma Lazarus in 1883:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
To some Americans, the words of Emma Lazarus are our national credo. Others say they’re our national curse. What do you think? Credo? Curse? Both? Neither?
