| Iran Thanks Amherst For Being Useful Idiots |
| 2007-01-02 |
| AMHERST, Mass. The nation of Iran thanks the town of Amherst. The town recently received a letter of thanks on behalf of the country for a town meeting vote urging the United States not to attack the country. Mostafa Rahmani, director of the Interests Section of the Islamic Republic of Iran, writes in the letter (quote) "We would like to express our appreciation for the courageous stance of the participants of the Amherst Town Meeting in urging diplomacy with Iran and expressing opposition to any U-S military action against our country." The town took its stance at a November meeting. Amherst Select Board member Robie Hubley says the letter proves that the town's gesture was noticed. I suspect Amherst was full of useful idiots when V.I. Lenin first referred to people like them as "useful idiots." |

| #1 perhaps we apply a "defense-free" zone around Amherst, to be secured by barb-wire and quarantine in case of Iranian nuke attack, bird flu, or Che t-shirt envy? Let em stew in their own self-righteousness.... |
