Same argument to pass MN's divest from Iran bill was the same to launch war on Iraq
Senator Marty displayed integrity and intelligence in trying to explain in a rational manner to his Minnesota colleagues why the Iran Divestment Bill proposed by Senator Terri Bonoff would be counterproductive.

Unfortunately the voices of reason were up against this type of creepy "warrior media" hate propaganda urging divestment from Iran : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omt_Ed4Zz0o and the Iran divestment bill passed in the Minnesota Senate.



Here’s link to the video of Minnesota Senate Debate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Om3qkvI5EI



What is really unbelievable is how the same neo-con argument--that we are "promoting democracy” in these countries--was used to argue for divestment of Minnesota pension funds from Iran that was used to launch the war on Iraq .


Sad ever time a DFL Rep becomes like a Republican.. follow the money
