Interesting take on the letter he sent, certainly the best I've read so far.

To read the rambling letter sent by Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to President Bush is to be put in mind of a slightly dotty blogger who doesn't know when to stop writing.

He makes obvious points - what would Jesus think of Gitmo? - and leaves well alone the issue of his own regime's dreadful human rights record. The concluding paragraphs consummate an invitation implicit throughout the letter:

No faith in international organisations? Flocking towards God? You may fancy you've heard those ones before. Earlier this year the American government supported (along with the fun-loving types who run things in Sudan, China and Zimbabwe) an Iranian initiative to deny United Nations consultative status to gay rights organisations. It's not the first time the two enemy states have converged on "moral" issues and it won't be the last. I guess you can't blame Ahmadinejad for thinking that maybe he could work with these people.

I'm also interested by the comments further down the blog about one of the US Army recruiters, having missed targets last year, went and found an 18-year-old autistic boy in Oregon and signed him up.......

The letter has a broad range. Some very good points, and then some denial of the holocaust.

Great read, if you're into insane politicians.

The letter was in English originally. Maybe you should reply to him in Iranian to give him pointers on his style.

Did he really use "PBUH" for praise be unto him?

OMG! Who knew he was so 1337??!!

Iran's president isn't any more f*cked in the head than ours. He just doesn't have nukes yet.

Only Jim Beam on my Wheaties. I managed to do some small jumps yesterday without wanting to cut my hand off due to pain. Hopefully we can rip it up before you bounce.
