We'll never know the effects of Biden-Lugar since it's a fantasy document for all intents and purposes. It was never voted on, so it doesn't exist (Much in the same way that bills like "January 7th Shall Henceforth Be Known As 'Bob Dornan: Great American Day'" never get passed.)

Biden-Lugar is a strawman. Kerry supported it, was undercut by Geppy. Dean supported it in principle. The bill only existed as an idea...it never came to a vote. It's foolish to wonder what the world would be like if Biden-Lugar were in effect instead of the IWR.

Keep your eye on the facts. The IWR, unfortunately, is real. Biden-Lugar, unfortunately, is a document that, for all intents and purposes, never existed. Stop throwing phantoms into the debate.

We're dealing with the negative effects of the IWR, not B-L. Comprende?
