I've never thought of the US Senate as stupid, but, it may be the case. The Iranian people have put their best citizen as President of their country to find a way to peace with the rest of the world and the USA Senate kicks sand their face. I really think the politics in the USA is so completely ridiculous it is no longer a good partner to their allies.
There are innumerable organizations stating the negotiations with Iran are making strides they never expected so early in the talks. The Iranian people have spoken and there is absolutely no concrete reason to continue to impose harsher sanctions. Enough already. The Iranian people are the ones at the diplomatic table, not just 'one man from Iran.'
President Rouhani is a gift to the world by the Iranian people. He is very capable of bringing about a resolution to skepticism that Iran is seeking nuclear war. It is time to get this done. The US Senate is not engaged in leadership, but, the same dogmatic politics that have destroyed the democracy in this country since Bush robbed the election of 2000 from the people of the USA. Get over it.

Sixty-two U.S. organizations (click here) delivered a joint letter to the Senate on Tuesday urging it to oppose new Iran sanctions legislation, S.1881, that they say would “critically endanger the possibility of a diplomatic resolution to the nuclear standoff with Iran.”

The letter, organized by the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), Friends Committee on National Legislation, and Win Without War, was signed by progressive groups including CREDO, MoveOn.org and Daily Kos; pro-Israel groups including Americans for Peace Now and J Street; and religious organizations including the United Methodist Church, according to the NIAC’s website.
The letter comes just two days after the United States, Iran and other members of the P5+1 agreed on terms to implement the Joint Action Plan over Tehran’s nuclear program struck in November....
