Sanctions are a bad idea.

Sanctions are a bad idea. We are not facing an imminent threat. We need to lower the pitch.

My mother had always told her kids: if you're about to do something, and you want to know if it's a bad idea, imagine seeing it printed in the paper for all the world to see.

Nothing surpasses the beauty and elegance of a bad idea.

Sanctions are imposed as a penalty, and the lifting or easing of these sanctions should be used as an incentive for subsequent compliance.

Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
