Iran: thank you Amherst!

Amherst, MA's city council passed a resolution "urging the U.S. not to attack Iran". Apparently, like Santa Cruz, CA, they are one of the few municipalities in the United States qualified to advise United States foreign policy.

You think this stuff doesn't matter and it's just trendy lefty onanism, but it doesn't stop at the water's edge. Iran was listening, and they sent a letter to let Amherst to know that they were touched, truly touched, by their support.

The Director of the Interests Section of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mostafa Rahmani, wrote in the letter, "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."

Video of moonbats at the link. I like the subtle "can you get a load of these wackos?" attitude of the CBS4 reporter.

Via WorldMagBlog, where a commenter says it's scary that they're paying that much attention. I agree, but it's not surprising, as anyone with a blog and a sitemeter can tell you.
