Legislation to Support

Rob Andrews (D, NJ) and Mark Kirk (R,Ill) are two congressmen with a bill we need to consider seriously. This bill calls for a quarantine of gasoline imports to Iran. The Iranians have a lot of oil, but little refining capacity. They must import 40% of their gasoline from a Netherlands company which has storage and blending facilities in the UAE. The blockade of this gasoline making its way to Iran would seriously destabilize Iran and also be considered an act of war. If this seems to be a greater evil than letting Iran develop nuclear weapons in violation of an international treaty, the legislation may not appeal to you. It seems to me to be a fairly intelligent approach.
