The P5+1 group of Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany has made great headway in finding a solution to diffuse the crisis around Iran’s nuclear program. Negotiators are anxious to take advantage of the opening represented by the election of a moderate Iranian leader, President Hassan Rouhani. Sadly, a group of both Democrats and Republicans in Congress, along with the AIPAC lobby, threaten to derail the talks by pushing for greater sanctions against Iran. If we can move ahead with talks, 2014 could be the year we finally ditch the Bush-era “axis of evil” treatment and build friendly relations with
Iran.”</font></span></div><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3"></font><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span lang="EN"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri" size="3">The primary Republican sponsor of the Senate bill that threatens greater sanctions against Iran is our own Senator Mark Kirk.
