See, I think that is the problem. We are constantly trying to pass on "American values" to the rest of the world. I have realized that the rest of the world cannot be us, no mater how democratic they are. That is what got us in trouble in Iraq. Who says that the Iranian people even want the U.S. to intervene? Everyone I hear says otherwise.

I like the resolution because it is an affirmation of our support for democracy anywhere in the world. However, anything beyond that is dangerous. The "Supreme Leader" has already accused us of meddling, and we have not done a thing. For all we know, the "Supreme Leader" could view the resolution as a declaration of war against Iran. Lets hope not for the people of Iran.

I agree with Senator Ellison, let us not be a pawn in the "Supreme Leader's" game. He will use the words of the U.S. to further oppress the opposition.

Let us learn form history, too. We've stood with Middle-East opposition in the past (Afghanistan v. Russia and Iraq v. Iran) and it turned around to bite us in the ass.
