You know, call me crazy, but why the hell are they spending all this time debating the opinion on how another country chooses to handle its problems.

HELLO we have problems of our own that need tending, people!!

I think we should support the Iranian students in every way possible.... as long as our backwards government keeps its hands out of it.

They will twist this issue round and round until it meets their own ends. Im sure they want to get Mahmoud Ahmadineja out of office, but its never going to happen through bureaucracy. Thats like trying to teach lil kimmy a lesson through sanctions. People like these cant be reasoned with.

The election probably wasn't rigged anyway. Half the student population probably cant even vote, so calling this election unfair is a hasty decision. Obviously the US will use that as leverage to wage some type of war or another.

Time to stop policing the world, especially since you cant maintain your own country.

Why pass this motion?

Because the Americans are going to get a little more involved than most think.

"Joint exercises", eh? bwahahaha

Another carrier group sent there, satellites re-tasked - I feel the same way I did when Colin Powell sat in front of the UN.

They're going to use this chance to get rid of Ahmediji-jihad, me thinks..

Wow our country is crumbling and we get this bill for a vote in a matter of hours. WHY NOT GET MORE IMPORTANT BILLS DONE THIS FAST YOU FREAKS!!!!!!! God our government sucks. We have our own issues we need to tackle forget about Iran. Try putting that effort into something that matters....

support foreign dissidents and call domestic dissidents potential terroists?

WOW, hypocrisy at it's highest form!

Ok, look, when Ron Paul is the ONLY one against something that tells us we have to step back and look at this again.

On the surface I support the Iranians, I believe the average person wants freedom and they want their voices heard, I also thinks it's obvious that Ahmednijad (sp?) rigged the election.

But with the idea that Mr. Paul is the only one against this I have to think there is more to it than typical "America supporting people fighting for freedom."

Call me crazy, but don't you think there might be a chance that clandestine elements in our Government were responsible for instigating and provoking this uprising which just happens to be destabilizing the one Middle Eastern country we haven't been able to mess with yet????

It wouldn't be the first time we've used agent provocateurs or psychological warfare to destabilize an unfriendly country.

I just passed a resolution by myself with a vote of 1-0.

The resolution states:

Use of old legalize and terrible grammar, separation of subjects from verbs. Resolved, by I:

1) Wasting time passing writing on paper that supports a stance;
2) Doesn't accomplish anything;
3) This is the game politicians play, we now see it all the time;
4) America and the world has to wake up.


...that has just as much meaning as the House Bill.

Sometimes I think I should stop studying law. The more I learn, the more ridiculous it gets.

If you all will excuse me, I have a motion to pass myself!

/ten lbs lighter..

Just thought that I would point out the problem>reaction>solution going on here. I'm personally all for the freedom of the Iranian people and I support their protest. I was thinking though, doesn't the US have a history that goes something like Economic hitmen>jackals>military?

Are we witnessing a false flag in the form of the US exerting influence in the area and stirring up civil unrest?

I like to think that this is for real though. Even in situations where the people are rallied behind deceptive provocateur groups, there is an underlying real-to-life desire to become free and eliminate the beaurocrats. Sad part is, they tend not to get the freedom they desire, but rather the solution that the PTB intended which are diametrically opposed to the protester's best interest.

Either way, I am sending out a big congratulations to the Iranian people for standing up against tremendous opposition. You people have got some balls. I watched the news on CNN this morning and as they played the sounds of the city at night I couldn't help thinking, "That sounds exactly like the soundtrack to Hell."

Good luck!

You know what?
I was just thinking

How much sovereignty does America think Iran has if they passed a bill about the politics of a foreign allegedly sovereign nation?

Is Ahmenajabad(however you spell it) just a puppet?
Is this all just a puppet show?

I mean think about it
He didn't even speak against this bill, doesn't that speak volumes?????
