Ahmadinejad, aside from being nuts, has some good questions to Bush...


Pushing aside what you'd expect - radical islamic fundamentalism, armageddon fantasies, anti-Isreal sentiments - and the letter asks a lot of questions that America should be asking itself.

Regarding 9/11 - "Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret?"

Guantanamo Bay - "There are prisoners in Guantanamo Bay that have not been tried, have no legal representation, their families cannot see them and are obviously kept in a strange land outside their own country. There is no international monitoring of their conditions and fate. No one knows whether they are prisoners, POWs, accused or criminals."

Iraq - "Can one be a follower of Jesus Christ [...] but at the same time, have countries attacked; the lives, reputations and possessions of people destroyed..."

Latin America - "Don't Latin Americans have the right to ask, why their elected governments are being opposed and coup leaders supported?"

Africa - "Don't they have the right to ask why their enormous wealth - including minerals - is being looted, despite the fact that they need it more than others? Again, do such actions correspond to the teachings of Christ and the tenets of human rights?"

Media & Fear - "Why was the media, instead of conveying a feeling of security and providing peace of mind, giving rise to a feeling of insecurity?"

The role of government & presidents - "
Did we manage to bring peace, security and prosperity for the people or insecurity and unemployment? [...] Did we bring the world peace and security or raise the specter of intimidation and threats?"

and of course, the question on my mind... "How much longer can the world tolerate this situation?"
