I propose starving people to death in countries we don't like. That way the people will surely revolt against their government and we can then go in and spread democracy :)
Well isn't that how going to war works? You're not going to be shooting the political leaders, you're going to be shooting the poor chumps at the bottom.
Economic sanctions are not great, but they're meant to be an alternative to war. When you really need a country to change course, anything you can do is going to involve hurting regular citizens there, it's just about finding the least bad option.
