You may wish to consider approaching a Senator with your ideas. There is an off-chance a legislator may agree with you and put Iran’s behavior on the national agenda.
Although the executive branch of government conducts America’s foreign policy, Congress (and especially the Senate) sets the general parameters of our foreign policy. And it is a rare President who can set the national agenda during the last two years of his tenure.

There used to be a legislator who “got it” on these matters, a very great legislator named Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania. He was defeated in a landslide by an empty suit named Casey.
The other one who gets it is Senator Coburn from Oklahoma, who has been kind enough to have me testify in the past. And I do talk to him. But I don’t believe there is enough critical mass in the Congress to initiate effective policy toward Iran. Quite the contrary, in fact; look at the Democratic candidates who warned Bush about attacking Iran…
