In his letter to all Americans published today (or at least the noble ones), Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad' included a special message to US Democrats:

The United States has had many administrations; some who have left a positive legacy, and others that are neither remembered fondly by the American people nor by other nations.

Now that you control an important branch of the US Government, you will also be held to account by the people and by history.

If the US Government meets the current domestic and external challenges with an approach based on truth and Justice, it can remedy some of the past afflictions and alleviate some of the global resentment and hatred of America. But if the approach remains the same, it would not be unexpected that the American people would similarly reject the new electoral winners, although the recent elections, rather than reflecting a victory, in reality point to the failure of the current administration's policies. These issues had been extensively dealt with in my letter to President Bush earlier this year.

To sum up:

It is possible to govern based on an approach that is distinctly different from one of coercion, force and injustice.

It is possible to sincerely serve and promote common human values, and honesty and compassion.

It is possible to provide welfare and prosperity without tension, threats, imposition or war.

It is possible to lead the world towards the aspired perfection by adhering to unity, monotheism, morality and spirituality and drawing upon the teachings of the Divine Prophets.

Then, the American people, who are God-fearing and followers of Divine religions, will overcome every difficulty.

What I stated represents some of my anxieties and concerns.

I am confident that you, the American people, will play an instrumental role in the establishment of justice and spirituality throughout the world. The promises of the Almighty and His prophets will certainly be realized, Justice and Truth will prevail and all nations will live a true life in a climate replete with love, compassion and fraternity.

The US governing establishment, the authorities and the powerful should not choose irreversible paths. As all prophets have taught us, injustice and transgression will eventually bring about decline and demise. Today, the path of return to faith and spirituality is open and unimpeded.

We should all heed the Divine Word of the Holy Qur'an:

"But those who repent, have faith and do good may receive Salvation. Your Lord, alone, creates and chooses as He will, and others have no part in His choice; Glorified is God and Exalted above any partners they ascribe to Him." (28:67-68)

I pray to the Almighty to bless the Iranian and American nations and indeed all nations of the world with dignity and success.

Say what you will about him, but the man does look good in a tan windbreaker.

With dignity . . . if Allah wills it. :p

By the way, dear atheist friends, Mahmoud seems to have a case of attitude about you, if analysis by omission is a valid tool:

Then, the American people, who are God-fearing and followers of Divine religions, will overcome every difficulty.

Perhaps a return letter to him, from a suitably dignified and high profile atheist, would be in order?

I suppose if GHWB can get away with doing it explicitly, we shouldn't be surprised at M.A. doing it implicity.

Were I dignified enough and high profile enough, I might give it a shot. Alas, I am neither.
 
I'll bet he was wearing a silly clown hat and farting on a chicken when he wrote that.

Oh, Ahmadinejad you so crazy.
 
Dear Mohammad Ahmadinejad,

Got your letter. Thanks for the sentiment.

I have Iranian friends. Yes, they live in Iran. We all think Bush is an idiot and you should hang from a lamp-post. I encourage Iranian/American friendship of this sort as well, and have beat you to the punch well before Khatami was unappointed by the Council.

Kill yourself.

PS: I'm going to contribute some money to a Baha'i church as a physical response to your letter.

I'll go a step further; it is the freedom of atheists, homosexuals, Hollywood producers, etc. which the radical and fundamentalist Islamic people oppose so much.

Yet it is the work of a conservative administration and military that fights to keep the atheists, homosexuals, Hollywood producers, etc. free.

Ironic.

Don'tcha think?
It's like raining on your wedding day....
 
I read through the three pages of his letter to me looking for something new or of substance, and was disappointed once again.

I for one, have been throughly convinced by forum arguments that the problems of the world have nothing to do with religion or God. I just don't know what he's talking about here. What does Joseph Smith have to do with the Mideast?

He watches too many westerns.

Ah, now here's his real message. If we would just all agree with him the world would be a better place. Hardly a new idea.

Or more direct:


Dear M. Ahmadinejad,

Screw you.

:D There is usually at least one post every day at JREF that makes my day. This was the one.

Carry on my brother.

THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT HERE!!!! America can protest and debate and vote and change and grow and progress WITHOUT HANGING Americans IN DECENT, aka, gay partners fighting for civil unions, marriage, etc. They don't do that in Iran.

Yeah, those uppity gays should shut up and accept whatever they get because it's worse somewhere else!

What makes you think the military is conservative? For the last couple of decades Republicans have often said they "support the military". They certainly talk about it a lot. But what do they actually do?

There seem to be just as many ex-military Democrats in office as Republicans.

And I know many military people. Some vote one way, some vote another. The military is large, and draws people from all backgrounds and political opinion.

And I'm pretty sure the gay military men and women I know aren't "conservative" in the sense that some Republicans use the word.
