Iraq, for that matter. They suffered under severe sanctions and a no-fly zone that left part of the country beyond the control of the state for over a decade and Saddam was nowhere near being overthrown until the US and allies actually invaded (again).

>Cuba
OK, maybe beginning to see a pattern
>Burma
I'm not an expert on Burma, but haven't they become a democracy again? I'd like to know what/any effect US sanctions had on this.
>Syria
I don't think this is a great example against isolation causing regime change
