Letter Bombshell

The Prime Minister of Iran has decided to break the tradition of the last 26 years (Yowsers, it's been that long since the Islamic Revolution?) and make contact with Washington through a letter dropped off at the Swiss Embassy in Tehran today. The letter (read it here) questions American policies in the world, speaks of the failure of "liberalism and democracy" and essentially asks Bush "What Would Jesus Do?". While I am certainly not interested in having a religious government of any kind (maybe a Scientologist State would be acceptable, assuming Tom Cruise is the Grand Idiotolla), nor do I believe democracy has failed (unless you are talking about Bush's neoconservative "Bombs & Ballots" campaign of Iraq), I have to give credit to Prime Minister Ahmadinejad for this act of genius. The letter strikes directly into the heart of the Bush's Christian crusader semblance that convinced pious Americans that he was doing "the right thing" by invading Iraq. Ahmadinejad points out that such policies are in direct contrast to the teachings of Jesus Christ. I had previously wondered whether Dick Cheney and the neocons were planning on bombing the Shia-t out of Iran. There is no doubt this gentle call for shared religious devotion (you've got your God, and we have Ours) and mutual understanding on the issue of Iranian nukes will at least stop the bombs from dropping on Tehran anytime soon. Remember that 700-ton Bunker Buster they were going to test in Nevada? Just today they reported the test has been delayed. Maybe this means Dick "Don't Aim Just Fire" Cheney has ruled out an attack. I doubt it. But at least for the moment, and thanks to Condoleezza Rice, we look like the assholes.
