Another Useless Ahmadinejad Letter
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is taking pen to paper again, this time saying he will be writing directly to the American people:
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has written a letter to the American people that will be released at U.N. headquarters in New York on Wednesday, a state newspaper reported.The newspaper gave no details of the letter, an apparent attempt by the firebrand president to reach out to Americans over the head of their government.The state-run newspaper Iran reported the letter in bold type on its front page, saying "the five-page letter to the American people will be released by Iran's representative at the United Nations today." Ahmadinejad wrote a rambling, 18-page letter to President Bush in May, which Washington criticized for not addressing Iran's nuclear program. The U.S. is leading the drive to impose U.N. sanctions on Tehran for its refusal to stop enriching uranium.
The article quotes Mahmoud as saying “Many American people asked me to talk to them in order to explain the views of the Iranian people.”
Besides, the idiocy of sending a letter to the “American people” to the U.N. (of all places,) I think the position of the Iranian government is more important, since the “Iranian people” don’t have freedom of speech and press there, and dissenting opinions are dealt with harshly. The position of the Iranian government was clear: they are not going to allow inspections of their nuclear program for “generating electricity” and neither are they going to cease enriching uranium and plutonium – material that can be used for nukes. Nothing else need be said. The world has said they can’t have it. If the rest of the world were serious about enforcing the stupid UN resolution that says they can’t enrich uranium, troops would be on the ground there already.
This is more political posturing by “Ahmadinner-jacket” trying to capitalize on the fallout from the elections this November, and further stalling while the pathetic U.N. talks incessantly, and Iran puts their first nukes together.
