The US and Israeli lobby just never stop. They have to continue to harass, intimitidate, and destroy livelihoods of a people who just want nuclear power to provide electricity. As John F. Kennedy once said, "And we call ourselves part of the human race." Never-ending story: the Almighty Congress picking on the little guy again. The US and Israeli lobby just never stop.

Ros-Lehtinen bothered to produce any evidence for her assertion, did she? Of course not. When you're on AIPAC's payroll, inconvenient facts can be ignored. There's no need to insist on corroborating evidence. Remember the "slam dunk" claims of Iraqi WMDs, Ms. Ros-Lehtinen? No one will call her or any of the other bought-and-paid-for congress critters to account if this latest outrage escalates into another disastrous military conflict. Evidently nothing should get in the way of emasculating Israel's foes, even if it means the destruction of our military or the fiscal implosion that these wars will precipitate. I don't suppose Rep.
