Introduced less than a month ago, Resolution 362
<http://pr2.netatlantic.com/t/6354774/47191295/14525/0/> , also known as the
Iran War Resolution, could be passed by the House as early as next week.
The bill is the chief legislative priority of AIPAC. On its Web site, AIPAC
endorses the resolutions as a way to ''Stop Iran's Nuclear Program
<http://pr2.netatlantic.com/t/6354774/47191295/14530/0/> " and tells readers
to lobby Congress to pass the bill. In the Senate, a sister resolution,
Resolution 580 <http://pr2.netatlantic.com/t/6354774/47191295/14526/0/> ,
has gained co-sponsors with similar speed. The Senate measure was introduced
by Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh on June 2. It has since gained 19 co-sponsors.
The bill's key section "demands that the president initiate an international
effort to immediately and dramatically increase the economic, political, and
diplomatic pressure on Iran to verifiably suspend its nuclear enrichment
activities by, inter alia, prohibiting the export to Iran of all refined
petroleum products; imposing stringent inspection requirements on all
persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing
Iran; and prohibiting the international movement of all Iranian officials
not involved in negotiating the suspension of Iran's nuclear program."
"Imposing stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships,
planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran" can be read to mean
that the president should initiate a naval blockade of Iran. A unilateral
naval blockade without UN sanction is an act of war. Resolution 362 has
already gained 170 co-sponsors, or nearly 40 percent of the House. It has
been referred to the Foreign Affairs Committee, which has 49 members, 24 of
whom, including the ranking Republican, are co-sponsors. The Iran Nuclear
Watch Web site writes, "According to the House leadership, this resolution
is going to 'pass like a hot knife through butter' before the end of June on
what is called suspension - meaning no amendments can be introduced during
the 20-minute maximum debate. It also means it is assumed the bill will pass
by a 2/3 majority and is non-controversial." Our national legislators deem
it non-controversial to recommend to a president known for his recklessness
and bad judgment that he consider engaging in an act of war against Iran.
Those of you who consider this issue controversial can go to the Just
Foreign Policy Web site and tell your representative to oppose this
resolution <http://pr2.netatlantic.com/t/6354774/47191295/14528/0/> .
