Iran is so hot right now

From Slate.com's daily news:

"(regarding Iraq and Washington's desire to fix that whole "reconstruction" problem)...At the end of the article, the Times mentions a recent classified study that found violence in Baghdad falls when quality of life improves. "

Yet, when speaking of Iran..."But there appears to be some hints the current sanctions might be working to weaken Iran, at least economically. USAT says inside that figures have begun to show the "deepening economic isolation" of Iran as it faces increased inflation and unemployment."

OK, so....quality of life for Iraq, we want. Quality of life in Iran...eh, not so much. What kind of schizophrenic diplomacy is this?
