Indeed a peculiar letter.
This link shows the whole letter President Ahmadinejad wrote to George (sorry for the link, but it’s too big to post and it is contains photocopies)
http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/wsj-IranianPres_letter.pdf?mod=blogs
It seems to be copied rather bad, but is still readable.
A few excerpts that did not all seem to reach the media:
"September Eleven was a horrendous incident. The killing of innocents is deplorable and appalling in any part of the world. Our government immediately declared its disgust with the perpetrators and offered its condolences to the bereaved and expressed its sympathies."
“Of course Saddam was a murderous dictator,But the war was not waged to topple him, it was waged to find weapons of mass destruction. (…) nevertheless the people in the region are happy about it. I point out that through the many years of war against Iran Saddam was supported by the West”
"Why is it that any scientific and technological achievement reached in the Middle East region is translated into and portrayed as a threat to the Zionist regime? Is not scientific R&D one of the basic rights of nations?
"You are familiar with history. In what other point in history has scientific and technical progress been a crime? Can the possibility of scientific achievements being utilized for military purposes be reason enough to oppose science and technology altogether? If such a supposition is true, then all scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, mathematics, medicine, engineering, etc., must be opposed."
The ‘threathening the Zionist Regime’ can be understood as Ahmadinejad stated several times that Israel should be wiped out. Still it’s certainly not all nonsense, unfortunatly. |
