Has the EU become a colony of the US?

European leaders angered U.S. lawmakers with a decision to visit Tehran as Iran claims it received a request by U.S. Sen. John Kerry to visit the country.

An 11-member team from the European Parliament is set to visit Tehran next week, marking the first Western visit to Iran in more than a year.A letter to European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek signed by 15 bipartisan members of the U.S. House of Representatives slammed the decision, saying it would legitimize the Iranian government amid nuclear concerns and mounting social upheaval, The Wall Street Journal reports.

"We urge you not to authorize the visit at this time," the bipartisan letter read.

Note EU-Digest: What nonsense. Has the EU become a US colony? Lets hope not. The EU Parliament should make clear to the US House of Representatives to take care of their own business instead of mingling in EU Parliamentary affairs.
