What is your opinion about the president Ahmadinejad's letter to the president Bosh?

It has been called a political masterpiece because Bush is sorta trap by it: If he answers that means he accepts Iran as an atomic country and if he doesn't answer public opinion would blame him for being a bloody coward!

I see the Point of the Article.....But  I think the Administration is taking the right Approach here,This is my opinion why:1-The younger Generation of Iran do not like its Gov. Policies.Wouldnt be surprised if some or all allied nations trying to stir people against war.2-Irans leader has been making unprovoked threats to many nations,making this a European problem as well.Because of types of threats,War could very well mean WWIII.I think Administration is hoping that our Allies take the lead in any negotiations because Irans military capabilities make it a bigger threat to europe.3-If it comes to American military involvement,look at a map,to see where our soldiers are with regards to Iran.With Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan,Fleets in Persian Gulf, And our bases in Europe and Asia,we are well positioned Militarily.Although my personal belief is that Iranian leader is Crazy(literally)I hope this situation resloves itself.The majority of young Iranians are just like us,they want to live like us and european nations,its just that they have a lunatic with a very large military loyal to that lunatic for a leader.Please note that my opinion is based on what I know and learned through discussions with Iranian Immigrants at school.\nSorry 4 any typos...heavily medicated....

It's not that secret, you can find a copy at\nhttp://hosted.ap.org/specials/interactives/_documents/ahmadinejad0509.pdf\n\nIt's a bit long-winded, but worth a read. He makes some interesting points, but they are wasted on dubya, who wants Iran do do whatever he says, but refuses to discuss anything with them or listen to anything they have to say.

I do not.   I believe that the current leader of Iran is extremely unstable and does not believe that he should anwer to then international audience.   He believes mostly of Iran's sovereignty and believes that it is all good for his country.  I believe that their leadership is unstable and should have a close eye on it.

I sympathize with your country's situation. But you have to understand that you have been taken control under a theocracy that is ruled by an anti-semitic radical muslim. We can't trust Iran's word to say that they will only use it for nuclear power giving the history of disagreement with Israel. Ahmanidejad has said he will blow up Israel and he doens't believe the Holocaust ever happened. The Iran-Iraq war was horrible and innocent lives were lost. The U.S. at that time did help Saddam because we viewed Iran as a bigger threat. I apologize on my country's behalf. But we were nervous of a potential Middle East crisis and we tried to salvage it. It's because of this history that we can't trust Ahmanidejad because we can't run the risk of him blowing up Israel or take over a weak Iraq. If this occurs, it will expand the war in the Middle East and possibly create a WWIII which will hurt everybody. This is why we don't support nuclear development in Iran. If you can guarantee us that Iran won't blow up Israel then who knows? Until then, try to see this from our point of view.

1- I think it better be wise enough not to do it.since Iran is not Iraq nor Afghanistan.and if US does this mistake it means it is the end of USA.\n2- I see some expanation with other friends here.like the one named up here 63vett.i like to let you know more :\n      A- our government told lies all the time.about Iraq/about 9/11 attackes and never made it clean why if they were not aware of this attacks who told all jews people( from israel) in these building to be our of work in that day.and other people 20 of them were my close friends to stay there and get killed?\n      B- they are telling us that moslems are terrorists so find a way to go to islamic countries and kill peoples over there and get their oils and so no one can say anything since they are fighting against terorists? but all of us know this is not true either.\n      C- Yes it was not right to go to US embassy and get the people there.but ever have you asked yourself why they did it?those people kicked the SHAH down ( some one worse than saddam hossein) who used to kill people and get them in jails with USA supports.so when those people had the revolution the usa was anger of them becuse he lost a best friend ( shah).I think they did it to us to make us think what is going on in iran.and what usa had done to iranian people who no one likes americans.but now they are telling us they like americans who respect them.\n       D- us army went to Iraq to kick out saddam not because to help their people and bring them democracy but because saddam was not saying " yes sir" any more as he usually used to say during Iraq-Iran war.In this war while many countries ( germany with chemical weapons.and france and ...)encloding usa helped saddam to bomed iranian people and killed many people over there.just becuse our top government are thinking about oil and money,and their share in this way and nothing more.\n3- I hope we think one more time and don't mixed everything with the words " terrorism and ...."since terrorism are all over the world and in our country too.can you tell me how many young people get killed everyday here in usa ? in schools and out of streets aren't these people terorists? are all of them muslems? so see the facts and find a better solution to fight terorism. we are looking for peace for all people around the world.and we are sure that any other country will not come from far asia to usa and bothers us.but if we go there and start to bother them we should waite for them to bother us people all around the world.so let us live our own in peace and hope peac for other too.\ngood luck for all.

This is what i have to say about that... David M. Bresnahan really summed it all up in this letter to the president...\n\nMR. PRESIDENT, I'M HEADED TO MEXICO\n\nDavid M. Bresnahan\nApril 1, 2006\nNewsWithViews.com\n\nDear President Bush:\n\nI'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family,\nand I would like to ask you to assist me.  I'm going to walk across\nthe border from the U.S.  into Mexico, and I need to make a few\narrangements.  I know you can help with this.\n\nI plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports,\nimmigration quotas and laws.  I'm sure they handle those things the\nsame way you do here.\n\nSo, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that\nI'm on my way over?  Please let him know that I will be expecting\nthe following:\n\n1. Free medical care for my entire family.\n\n2.  English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might\nneed, whether I use them or not.\n\n3. All government forms need to be printed in English.\n\n4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.\n\n5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.\n\n6.  I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.\n\n7.  Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.\n\n8.  I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.\n\n9.  I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.\n\n10.  In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres.

Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.\n\nI know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S.  from Mexico.  I am sure that Pres.

What a great letter.  Mrs. Palmer said it all and in a very dignified way.  After reading it, I checked at www.snopes.com to see if it was real, but couldn't find anything under politics, military or John Kerry about it.  I'm guessing that means that it's very real.  If that's the case, kudos to Mrs. Palmer.  She handled the whole situation wonderfully.  John Kerry is a disgrace to America.  He should be ashamed and not trying to cover his tracks.  I can only hope that more people stand up the way Mrs. Palmer has and make their voices heard.

The post on June 27th is titled "I want to be a Shanqeet (I'm not sure if the word has a meaning.)"\nThe text translates into:\nIn Al-Masri newspaper today came the following:\nThe early results of Mauritania's poll have shown that the majority of the voters have voted in favor of the new constitution that was suggested by the ruling military council after a coup in August 2005 that ousted president Mo-aweya Ould Taya who has ruled for 21 years (not 26 like some people "meaning the Egyptian president"). The new constitution limits the future heads of state to two terms in office, allows for peaceful handing of power, and gives people the right to vote out the government. \nAn important historical fact: The historical name of Mauritania is the Land of Al-Shanqeet.\nI insist..I want to be a Shanqeeti (i.e. from   the land of Shanqeet).\n***********************\nEnd of translation.\n\nThe writer is indirectly criticizing the political state in Egypt, especially the fact that the president has been in rule for 26 years.\n\nIf you want to know what interests the writer then the following sentence which heads the blog would tell you the whole story:\n"Dreams, illusions, and wishes: aren't all moral standards just that? Even those of the knights?" The blog is tilted "An old knight", that's what the blogger calls himslef.

Quote; "Anyone who starves themselves over any cause is stupid. Can't change things when you are dead, so yes the death was in vain. Even a gator could figure that out."\n\nGator has obviously never heard of Bobby Sands or the other 9 Irish Hunger strikers of 1981. As a result of their sacrifice, Bobby Sands was elected to Parliament while still on hunger strike, hundreds of people joined the IRA and the Good Friday Agreement was signed. Among other things, the Good Friday Agreement forced the brits to share governmental power with Irish Republicans AND forced the brits to release ALL IRA prisoners from their prisons! Don't tell me they died in vain. They were locked away in a prison, with no weapons, yet managed to change the whole course of Irish history.\n  Sadly, I must admit that I know nothing of Subhas Srivastava. But he has got people talking. And I will read up on him and his cause. So be sure, he did not die in vain.

I think that he is just trying to hurry along the arrival of the Muslim prophecy of the Mahdi, or the last Imam and the one that is said that will bring the whole world to Islam. The souce below will tell you more but getting back to the point, Ahmadinejad, wants to hurry along the Mahdi's arrival by creating more war with the US. He has had what people would call a religious experience, at least that is what he said. That source is the second one listed. He'll be worse than Saddam, Saddam only served his own ego, but Ahmadinejad thinks that he is serving God with what he is trying to do or most likely will do. Personally, I don't think that he is crazy and this whole controversy has shown a lot of hypocrisy of many other nations, mostly those that are negotiating with Iran.

Yep.  I got this email today.  Sums it up nicely.\n\n"Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.  Certain people are angry that the U.S. might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.  Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.\n \nLet's say I break into your house.  Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.  But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors; I've done all the things you don't like to do.  I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house)."\n \nAccording to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work because he too is hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).  If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my right to be there.  It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better \nmyself.  I'm hard-working and honest . um, except for ... well, you know.\n \nAnd what a deal it is for me!!   I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice and being anti-housebreaker.\n \nDid I miss anything?  Does this sound reasonable to you?  If it does, grab a sign and go picket something.    If this sounds insane to you, call your senators and enlighten them because they are stumbling in the darkness right now and really need your help."\n \nLinda Myers\nApril 10, 2006 -  New-Sentinel

Interesting. I liked the whole comment about having a lack of tension. I may be wrong, but I think the guy's from Iran. Don't they kind of have a habit of ignoring the international community and causing just a wee bit of tension on the rest of the PLANET? Besides, he underestimates the intellect of the American people; we are perfectly used to political rhetoric trying to play our emotions off of current events so that we form a favorable opinion to their cause(in this case namely "destroying the Zionist Jews") I hope he doesn't plan his reelection on it. Oh ya, if he gets thrown out, he'll just kill who he has to in order to get back.

Having never been to Iran or run into many Iranians, I really can’t say much about it.  I can only comment on what I have read about and what I see on the television.  I’m sure there are a lot of great Iranians and the culture would surely be interesting to study.  I do not support the president of Iran and I believe the Iranian people could have a better leader.  However, nobody and no country is perfect.  I believe that a lot of Americans judge the country of Iran and its citizens from a negative view of their Government and from the terrorist attack on our embassy back in the 70’s.  I know these do not represent Iran and the Iranians in a whole.

"Put God in the centre:\nHis pure representatives guide the leaders..\nThe leaders lead the country in a divine way..."\n\nDo you have any idea how much that sounds like the Taliban ... or the current theocracy in Iran?\n\nDid you translate this from Arabic or Persian yourself?

I'm an Iranian in Canada and you might not agree with what I say, but this is my opinion.\nFirst of all, I'm guessing you are getting your information from the Amrican Media. And I would like to say that the Amrican Media is wrong on many of the views they show.\nSecond of all, to answer your question, I have to say most people don't understand, because you get the same view that the US governemnt wants you to have and thats that Iran is the enemy and they are undeveloped!! AND THAT IS WRONG!!! Once I remember this guy coming up to me and asked me "Back in Iran to dirve, how many camels did you have?" I was shocked and amazed by the stupidity of this person. I told him, I have never even seen a camel and my car in Iran was a Mercedes!!!

I don't know much about it except what's in the media. I know they're on Israel and the USA's sh*t list right now. I have heard that the Iranians are very educated people and for being a country in the middle east, Iran is pretty well to do. When I was about 12 years old I had a pen pal from Iran who wrote in perfect English and sent me beautiful postcards from there. The mail was always ripped open before it got delivered to me though like someone was checking it. I have nothing against the Iranian people or their country. My experience with the ones I met have been very pleasant.
