U.S. Enriches Companies Defying Its Policy on Iran

So we knowingly permit US and foreign companies and countries sustain Iran's annual $80 billion oil revenues, refinery capacity and imports of refined petroleum products. Those oil revenues are used by Iran and its Revolutionary Guards to underwrite the killing and maiming of American troops and civilians, home and abroad, and to advance an ideology that is at war with our basic human values. It's like permitting investment in armed bank robbery because that investment might be financially rewarding to the investors. Our federal, state and local political leadership -- and our citizenry -- have a responsibility, utterly neglected to this point, to set parameters on what is permissible investment and business conduct.

We need to enforce the laws we have with an activist judiciary.
