In terms of who I read on occasion, I seem to disagree with Matt Stoller more often than any other lefty blogger. And I think this would be another one of those cases. What exactly is so terrible about divesting in Iran? I don't know enough about the specifics to say whether I'd favor the sanctions bill or not, but it seems a perfectly reasonable way to try to influence the Iranian regime - a regime we should be trying to pressure, though not through waging an aggressive war against them. I see Yglesias is against this too, so is there something here I'm missing?
