Iran imports 40% of its petroleum products, which AIPAC is leaning on Congress and Obama to cut-off under pretext of "nuclear threat" (hogwash, no evidence of that). See the video and details from the 2009 AIPAC Conference just concluded.

Let's imagine the consequences of cutting of oil products from Iran:

1. Iran could reduce supply of crude petroleum to US and others, and get OPEC to agree. Iran controls a large percentage of world supply of crude.

2. Gas prices in the U.S. would skyrocket (again), in this economic war on Iran, in the midst of a severe recession and high unemployment (still growing)!

3. In consequence of #2, all consumer products (that require transportation and fuel) would also skyrocket, causing inflation of prices during recession and unemployment!

AIPAC does not care about the U.S., only the radical Zionist agenda of a "new middle east", and only them with nuclear weapons.

Tell Congress NOT to support this legislation!

I was ready to go to the source to see the flow on effects. Thank you blueridge.
Iran has not yet committed a crime so any punishment would only cause bad feelings. (A youngster might decide to do something naughty after being wrongfully punished, to make it square)
America knows this, so any wrongful retaliation won't phase it.
Just make an excuse to go to war for Israel, yet again.
How will they stimulate the economy for that war?

America is currently bearing the (spending) consequences of Bush-neocon wars (for Israel), which Obama is expanding into Pakistan. Pushing this agenda of "economic sanctions" (with would be a strangulation of any country with two hands around their throat) against Iran is provocatory and inflammatory and will cause blow-back and consequences, including economic, on the average American.
