House Condemns Iran's Nuclear Program
By JIM ABRAMS
Associated Press Writer


WASHINGTON -- The House on Thursday accused Iran of "continuing deceptions and falsehoods" involving development of nuclear weapons and said that Europe, Japan and Russia should cut commercial and energy ties until Iran permanently end such activities.

Among the few dissenters in the 376-3 vote was Democratic presidential contender Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, who said the nonbinding resolution endorsed the administration's doctrine of preventive war.

==snip==

Kucinich objected to language in the resolution that calls upon parties to the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons, including the United States, "to use all appropriate means to deter, dissuade and prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons."

He said that was similar to the words of past congressional resolutions that the Bush administration used in justifying its decision to go to war against Iraq.

Yet another of the many reasons why I respect this man and will continue to promote his message, even after the convention.

2. Thanks!

I remember seeing buttons like this from my state party's convention in 1988, when the more "moderate" (read: pre-DLC DLCers) were trying to move the party toward a more "corporatist" position on several issues. Being in Minnesota, I saw a large number of these around the convention, even on a number of Dukakis delegates like myself.

It's funny how it's even more relevant 16 years later, when the party has moved even beyond the center to the moderate right. I never thought I'd see the day when the party of JFK, FDR and HHH would be to the right of Nixon.
