Countering Iran in the Western Hemisphere

Back in March I noted the introduction of H.R. 3783, the Countering Iran in the Western Hemisphere Act of 2012. It has now passed the House by voice vote under the direction of Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and so moves over to the Senate. My appraisal was that it had a good chance of passing, and that I hoped it would become less unilateral in its final form. Gathering information is a good idea, but forcing things down Latin America's throat is not.
