What is the effect of Kyl/Lieberman as a non-binding resolution?

Webb opposed the revised version, too, noting that it designates the Iranian guard a terrorist organization. The measure specifically says:

“the United States should designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a foreign terrorist organization…and place the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists.”

If the Senate is on board with this, and it clearly is, it’s hardly a stretch to think Bush could use this as cover to confront Iranian forces militarily under the guise of counter-terrorism.

Unless I'm missing something, that sounds dangerous. Could they be attacked without this resolution? Is the resolution primarily political, or does it carry some weight? Does a non-binding resolution declare an organization a "foreign terrorist organization," or is there a further process for that?
