Why are the primitives so upset about that letter?
My God, when I was over on Skins's island yesterday, they were jibber-jabbering about it all over the place; it's their topic de jour, their shiny new toy, today's model of the manufactured outrage.
When I read about it originally--this was hours and hours before the primitives discovered it--I took it as merely the concerned U.S. Senators reminding the Iranians of the U.S. Senate's legitimate and constitutional duties.
An "informational" sort of thing; after all, the odds seem pretty reasonable that Iranians don't know much about the U.S. Constitution, and so the letter was meant to be helpful, instructional.
