Wow. I need time to process and reread that one yet another time - I still can't figure out if he loves or hates us, wants to bring peace, or start WWIII...
He also seems to want us to join a jihad against the 'Zionists'.... in the name of world peace and stability.
Again, Wow.

Personally I feel he is a lying P.O.S. (pardon the expression).
I got this sickening feeling in my stomach much as I imagine our troops did in WWII when listening to the spew from Tokyo Rose!

I think he believes this..... or at least some of it. A month ago we were the great Satan and it was "death to America".
The left wing and peace at all cost fans will love it and him. He is such a peaceful man...... he only supports terrorists (freedom fighters in his eyes). wants to wipe Israel off the map, and bring America down.
It is one great propaganda ploy. He appears to be holding out a friendly hand....that Bush will reject...... he will gain more power and influence in the middle east....and we will lose some more.

MSNBC has an article on this and at the bottom there is a space where you can say how you would respond to the letter. The link is here if you want to send your response: msnbc.msn.com/id/15947213/
My response was, "I think he has his doo rag wrapped a little too tight."

Gentlemen,
I have mostly lurked and learned on this website-realizing that I do not have much experience to add to most of these conversations. But reading this letter-it scares me and I would like to know if anyone else sees this coming together the way I do. To me it feels like reading Hitler or the radio transcripts of Stalin-his persuasive skills are powerful and he exudes passion (even though the peaceful passion is obviously a lie). He isn't some two-bit power mad dictator, he doesn't simply have guns and the willingness to use them for a little power or cash. It seems to me that he very well may be the most dangerous threat that we have faced since the cold war. Guns can be fought with guns, but passion must be fought with an even greater passion. It has been a long time since anyone had the ways, the means, and the will to carry out the evil that this seeks to.
Anyways, just my little .02...
Back to lurking... Thank you all for sharing your wisdom and advice,
Joe

Of course he wants us out of the ME and Iraq. Iran would fill the power vacuum. This guy is a PR machine, a dangerous one at that.

Disagree,
- He needs us as an enemy for domestic political purposes. We have already gotten rid of two of Iran's enemies to its east and west. For him and the Mullahs to stay in power they need someone to blame. He is facing a huge demographic boom of dissatisfied young people, better to keep them pissed off at foreign powers than domestic ones.
- He needs us for regional purposes. We piss off Arab Sunni's with our presence in the region. For Iran to consolidate regional power, they need an enemy and not just the Jews.
- He needs us for fiscal purposes. Petroleum exports are pretty much Iran's economy. Iran needs to get every barrel possible to market, and we need every barrel to get to market with global surplus production capacity around 1 to 1.5% right now. The U.S. is the guardian of the world economies SLOC, Iran who operates OPECs largest tanker fleet-needs to securely get its exports to the Asian market.
I agree he is a threat, but question the size.
Thoughts?

I'd be interested in the response of those who are familiar with the teaching of fundamentalist or orthodox Islam. Is there not a teaching that says that unbelievers are to be offered a friendly invitation to convert to Islam; if they refuse, they are to be afforded safe, but second-class citizenship and required to pay a tribute to the Islamic rulers; if they refuse that, they are to be killed? I remember Ahmadinejad writing a letter to Bush not too long ago inviting him to convert and I immediately thought of this teaching that I had heard.
1. Is that teaching correct as I described?
2. If so, could this letter to the American people be part of the same attempt to be seen as abiding by Islamic teaching before an all-out attack on the American people?
I would like to hear the view of some of you who are knowledgable about the Islamic religion and customs.

They probably helped him compose it.

I think that if a terrorist WMD attack was to occur in the United States, that we should immediately launch attacks on Iran and NK as a minimum.
They need to be quietly informed of that, along with the fact that we will use sufficient numbers of weapons to wipe their countries off the map permanently, no retaliatory strikes in kind, rather we will wage total nuclear war against them.
I don't think the owners of a few large, fizzle-type bombs and some 50s era rockets should be messing with the nation that invented, employed, and has retained a large inventory of accurate, high-yield strategic weapons.
