  Bob Barr on Iran
Our regional National Committee rep, Bob Barr, speaks out on Iran:

http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/stories/2007/10/09/barred_1010.html

Good: He says that the U.S. government should "quell the simplistic
blustering by the White House and by many presidential candidates
designed to prove each will be tougher on Iran than the others."

Bad: He seems to be supporting interventionism and even economic
sanctions. "Should Washington simply sit back and leave Iran alone —
free to support terrorist groups and regimes in other countries,
including Iraq, and to develop a nuclear capability? Of course not."
and "Positive steps could include strengthening economic and political
pressure on Iran..."

Unfortunate that a high-profile Party member would actively advocate a
policy of political and economic interventionism.

I let go of the law, and people become honest.
I let go of economics, and people become prosperous.
I let go of religion and people become serene.
I let go of all desire for the common good,
and the good becomes common as grass.
When the will to power is in charge,
the higher the ideals, the lower the results.
- Lao Tzu
