To the "This is Why You Get Mocked" post below.
News article from the Chronicle about the recent Anthropologist's meeting is here.
One of the motions passed was this one:
The association resolved that it "opposes any covert or overt U.S. military action against Iran, condemns any public-relations campaigns designed to convince the U.S. public to support military action against Iran, and urges President George W. Bush and members of the U.S. Congress to refrain from using any covert or overt military action, including air strikes, against the country or government of Iran."
Which prompted this comment below the article:
Thank Goodness the anthropologists are taking a stand against an invasion, either clandestine or open, of Iran. It's about time. This should be more widely publicized.
So what do you think - is the comment sarcastic or serious? Because that's EXACTLY the comment I would have posted, and I think we all know exactly how I would have meant it.
