Kale, are you serious? Since when did CalPERS “investments” become part of our national security plan for monitoring hostile nations? You seem to have taken a very odd and faulty line of reasoning to justify CalPERS ignoring the law as determined by our elected representatives.

Nonsense Kale.
Profiting while a country like Iran moves toward owning its’ own nuke will eventually cause those investors to be called traitors. Remember the ‘war profiteers’ who were helping Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s?

And what sort of “information” would we be getting from investing in Iran? You think they will send the ‘stockholders’ their nuclear plans?

This myopic, easily-sold idea of a closed-door policy on a member of the “axis-of-evil” will remove one more avenue of potential information flow.

How will we know what goes on behind closed-doors?

We should be trying to increase our contacts with Iran i.e. politically, economically, financially, socially, culturally, educationally, charitably, personally, etc. http://www.facebook.ir anyone???

…unless of course we’re really curious about what an actual nuclear winter would feel like…

Where will the ‘value’ of these Iranian invetments be after Isreal attacks to remove the nuclear threat?
How hard can it be to do the patriotic thing and invest in honorable American companies, (i.e. those that do not support terrorism)?
