let me understand clearly. The US is making a LAW making it illegal (?) to do diplomatic relations with Iran, and making it a LAW to go to war with Iran?
No. The republican party is. Maybe the President can veto it.

What a joke. You do realize Obama can veto anything that comes through congress.
And screw the people that want war. If they want war so bad, let's send them and see how quickly they jump at it. Effing cowards full of greed.

Too bad environmentalists on the Left who hate nuclear power plants because of what happens in places like Chernobyl and Fukushima also seem to be for Iran having nuclear capablilities. Is that some kind of bizarro schizoid thinking or can you make some sense out of it?

So you are for starting yet ANOTHER war? Because that seems to be the alternative and the
way to stop the Iranians. So you want to reduce government spending and the size of government,
but you also what to start a war that will cost more MONEY and require more resources diverted to
"national security".
That is Bizzaro

Well, at least this would be a declared war.
Our problem for decades has been undeclared and unending wars.
Congress has the power to declare war. Then POTUS is the one who decides how to go about it.
In recent decades POTUS has been the one starting wars without a declaration by congress.
I say this is a improvement. This country is on its way back to a little law and order...

Will Iran become a major election issue? IMO the economy is more important and another war will make it worse.
I wish we would either s### or get off the pot.
The House on Tuesday evening debated two bills aimed at reinforcing U.S. policy to deny Iran nuclear weapons capability, and bolstering human rights in in North Korea.
Members debated H.Res. 568, which expresses the sense of the House about the importance of denying Iran nuclear weapons, and were poised to approve that resolution later in the week. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) said the resolution helps draw attention to the fact that Iran continues to threaten peace in the Middle East.
"The Iranian regime continues to pose an immediate and growing threat to the United States, to our allies, and to the Iranian people," Ros-Lehtinen said.

No, I am definitely NOT for war with Iran or any other wars. I have repeatedly criticized the administration for going into Libya. You are just reading your own ideas into my post. I do know that while the Left pretends to be against war when it suits them, they also will support leftist guerilla activities or any other war that will further their agenda. I am merely trying to show the hypocrisy of the far left.

Oh yes I know. The implications are quite frightening. I don't want Iran to have that caliber of WMD's. ( Factually, I don't want anybody to have them.)
But nor do I want a group of warmongers on the ready to begin something most of us don't want. And it's Iran. They have a messed-up government like everybody else, but are mostly a wonderful, peaceful people. Nobody wants to think about all the innocent citizens who live in Iran.
Yes, I have nothing against Iran's people by any means. I just look at this from the geopolitical standpoint of how Iran lines up with China and Russia and I do not trust either of them. Even if we thought the Obama admin was courting Iran to be on the side of the US, Russia and China are not going to give up so easily. This all gets complicated by enmity between Israel and Islam, with Israel classically being an ally to the US and Iran being an ally to Russia. Obama has been going about alienating our biggest allies in that region. What reason can he have for that other than to be ummmmmm acting on the wrong side. ? We also know that Soros and the Unions were backing the Egyptian uprising and we know that is a strategic place. Why would Obama encourage an uprising which gives more power to the Muslim Brotherhood while taking down all the pro Western leaders? Is anybody thinking here? And again, why did he NOT support the student uprising in Iran, but instead supported leaving that regime in place? I think these questions need to be addressed.
What is the answer? To have a nuclear Iran? Will that make the whole world safer?
Also, I think TPTB are setting it all up for major destruction and loss of life.edit on 15-5-2012 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)edit on 15-5-2012 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)edit on 15-5-2012 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)edit on 15-5-2012 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)
