    Let's see, Corporate US or if one prefers, private businesses, working for their own self-interests in direct opposition to what US policy is.

    Treason anyone?

    The chamber of commerce is an evil, corrupt organization that should be burned down.

    I hope the conservatives will denounce them for "aidin' and abettin' " terrorists, but somehow I doubt it. (not that I really believe all the propaganda about Iran being evil, but the conservatives do)

    This is good stuff. Next, guess which party the US Chamber of Commerce supports, juxtapose that with RW complaints about Iran sanctions, and viola, another RW policy conflagration.

    This is ridiculous propaganda.. China had reduced their Iranian oil purchases by over half and pulled out of the South Pars project.

    The Chamber of Commerce really is pretty corrupt though. It's basically a lobby group designed to strengthen oligarchies.

    The bastards even support SOPA.

    Since when has US policy been against Corporate interests?

    Theoreticaly that could only happen if there's a difference between manufacturing/production interests and financial interests.

    Iran has a lot to trade, but Mullahs won't play the finance game.
