Comment: No it couldn't. If we did

No it couldn't. If we did nothing at all Iran would still pursue Nukes and the people would not have to suffer.

Now, Iran is STILL building nukes, but the difference is that the people are suffering.

It's not that sanctions are only an act of war, it also incites more hate and violence. The people of Iran suffer because of this and you think they are ok with it?

Ron Paul votes against foreign aid not only because it's "doing business with a CB" but because we do not have the right to do it in the first place. Also, it's wrong to take money from the people and send it to another country in the "hopes" of helping them.

I admire Rand for trying to do the right thing, but he has not fully thought this through. It's one thing to say "I don't want us doing business with Iran's CB" but to not think about the unintended consequences is bizarre.

If you're voting no specifically to stop doing business with Iran's CB, then just say so. Don't also include "Iran is seeking nuclear weapons and supports terrorism". You're misleading everyone as to why you vote a certain way. He worries too much about pleasing the wrong people.
