TEHERAN - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran said on Tuesday he was awaiting a reaction to a letter he sent US President George W. Bush, although US officials have called it a diversion in a dispute over Tehran’s nuclear plans.

In the letter, the first from an Iranian head of state to a US president since Washington broke off relations after the 1979 Islamic revolution, Ahmadinejad said he was proposing “new ways” to resolve many problems facing humanity.

But a copy of the 18-page letter, sent on Monday, showed it focused mainly on alleged American wrongdoings and contained no ideas for ending the standoff over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Asked by reporters about the letter, Ahmadinejad said: “We will wait to see the reaction of the recipient and we will act based on the reaction.”


To be quite honest I don't think Bush can pronounce Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Hey Mahmoud....I got a bridge to sell ya.

sad to say.

I have problems remembering how to pronounce it myself. :)

That said, this letter won't move the chess pieces anywhere.

already been sent? Basically a "thanks, but you didn't tell us what we wanted to hear, so your letter changes nothing."

Maybe I just imagined it, I remember thinking at the time that was an awfully fast response. I hope I'm wrong.

Theyll treat this like the did intel before bushs war. Cherrypick and hide the truth.
