California Bill To Divest From Iran Reaches Senate - Maybe You Should Call Some Folks [Video]

Given that most of what we understand about human nature makes negotiating with Iran a waste of time, the only alternative to all-out war seems to be economic coercion. The divestment movement is a huge part of that - Netanyahu has been criss-crossing the country emphasizing that it's the absolute last and best hope for non-militarily altering Iran's behavior. In California a bill to divest the state's holdings - AB 221 - has now reached the Senate Public Employment and Retirement Committee. The Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, Los Angeles is helping to lead the campaign to get the legislation passed, and instructions on contacting relevant public officials is here. Bonus video alert and information:

Yeah, but here's the thing that people just don't get - Ahmadinejad is just kidding about all that stuff. It's a ploy. And if you don't believe that, it's only because you're just not sophisticated enough. Get yourself an LA Times subscription, then you'll understand the world.
