Sorry Jim, you are just not making sense your ideology is "king"; you are simply trying to make everything "fit in"......mostly it doesn't.

If Economic sanctions are not a weapon, why are they always directed towards any society which dares to bring in socialist economics?
Cuba, Venezuela, etc etc.   They are used to starve and terrorise the population......or is fear of poverty and starvation not REAL terror in your little black book?

Your concentration on personal rights betrays a lack of political understanding.
