Left I on the Letter from Iran's President to Bush

For a great discussion of the letter sent by President Mahmood Ahmadi-Najad to our erstwhile President, go to Left I on the News. It also has a link to a translation of the letter. Scroll down to "Quotes of the Day"

Would not your government, and people be justifiably proud? Would not your administration's political and economic standing have been stronger? And I am most sorry to say, would there have been an ever increasing global hatred of the American governments?"
