Mike Pence Pushing for an Iran Resolution

Obama's response to the Iranian situation was just right. He demonstrated concern for the events marring the election and support for everyone's rights (i.e. Moussawi's supporters) while not taking a distinctly partisan stance. It would be counterproductive to do anything which could be seen as oppositional by those currently in power; they will only be more likely to crack down on the Moussawi supporters in response. People like Pence and McCain need to shut up if they can't speak with restraint.

We have in the past meddled far too much in internal Iranian politics by for example organizing a coup in 1953 against democratically-elected Mossadeq and installing the Shah, with his brutally repressive regime. The current Islamists who overthrew the shah in 1979 are understandably hypersensitive to any suggestion of meddling on our part. Like it or not, we have a much better chance of bringing some kind of peaceful resolution in the middle east if Iranian leaders, whoever that may be, are involved in the process. We can still support democratic processes there without being overtly partisan.

I must apologize for Pence. Unfortunately, I live in yahoo's district and have been unsuccessful in trying to vote the man out. If you try contacting this man's office for support on a bill, you will get absolutely no response!! His staff won't even send an apologetic dissenting e-mail. He has been great in replacing the good paying jobs, albeit they were few in number, with lots of jobs created by small businesses. Namely, the fast food industry which pays federal minimum wage, has no benefits, and no retirement. Thanks Mike! That's just what our district needs. Of course he voted against raising the federal minimum wage. As a matter of fact, his voting record indicates he could care less about working families. Nonetheless, we have to help those struggling small businesses or however that mantra goes. What a great rep! Now this! The man contradicted himself in his interview with Blitzer on CNN in regards to meddling in another country's affair. Common sense dictates the ouster of one political leader does not guarantee that the other leader coming in will be any less of a tyrant. As a matter of fact, the leader coming in could use what Mr. Pence is proposing as future propaganda. Whatever happened to Teddy's, “Speak softly, but carry a big stick!” In other words Mike, we have the muscle so stop mincing words and embarrassing the constituents in your district!!!
