AP: Ahmadinejad Still Crazy
In honor of the Iranian President's visit today to Manhattan (and his speech at Columbia in which he said that Iran did not have gays). I am republishing part of a post I put up here in May of 2006 originally titled: Return to Sender, in which the Chief Source gave its readers an exclusive look at a private letter Ahmadinejad sent to Bush. Let the flashback begin. Here, again, is that letter:
Dear Mr. President Bush,
How is it hanging? Good. Good to hear. And Laura, she does well? Wonderful.
Listen, we must talk. The situation between our great nations has turned tough. I am writing you today to set a record straight. Normally I would send the email, but of late when I open Outlook it says that I have performed an 'illegal' operation. How this can be, I do not know. I make the law here!
Anywho, the record to set straight... I watch your news. You say we are brutes and savages...violent and barbaric...a warlike nation. This is false. I could show you some films, films that portray a different, gentler side of Iran. And while you're watching the films I'd sort of slip away, because guess what: the projector is actually a thing that shoots out spinning blades! And you fell for it!
You say you will resume diplomatic relations with Iran if I sign statement promising that I'll adhere to nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. And I have agreed! Allow me to sign on your throat with a long sharp pen, yes?
Maybe one day we will not be enemies as you make us out to be. Perhaps one day a little Iranian child will sit down to play with a little American child, or larva, or whatever they are. But, after a while, guess what happens: the little American tries to eat the Iranian child. But guess what the Iranian child has? A nuke. You weren't expecting that, were you? And now the American child is running away, as fast as he can. Run, little American baby, run!
Your pal,
Ahmadinejad
[Not surprisingly, Ahmadinejad plagiarized the bulk of the letter from a classic Jack Handey rant: WHAT I'D SAY TO THE MARTIANS. It's a funny read, but the audio is just hilarious (if you can find it).]

I wonder if the Secret Service provided him security for his visit?
Probably outsourced it to Blackwater.
Today I was 20 minutes late to work.
It was surreal using the excuse: "Ahmadinejad held me up."
It was true though as I live on the Upper East Side near the UN headquarters and some major streets were shut down for his convoy.
I also wonder what hotel he stays in? The logistics of this kind of visit fascinates me.
Kyle,
What I wonder about is: imagine there was some freak accident...a plane crash, an exploding gas main, even a Ahmadinejad heart attack...imagine he dies while in town.
Could you imagine the riot that it would cause in the Middle East, imagine the conspiracy theories, imagine the headlines at Al-Jazeera.
Basically, some totally random accident on this trip could be the tipping point to complete Jihad and WWIII.
Even the Iranian people, who don't love Ahmadinejad, might go into full blown Nationalism mode if their leader mysteriously died while here.
Here's what really sticks in my craw: Why didn't he graciously thank Dear Leader Dubya, our troops, and we the gullible American people for footing the massively expensive bill and getting rid of Iran's 2 most fearsome enemies: The Taliban and Saddam Hussein? How rude. I'm no Emily Post, but I'm guessing Mahmoud won't be sending out thank you cards, either.
The nerve of some people.... snarkily shaking head....
I think it was wrong to host him....Columbia University - what the hell went thru their heads, could have had George Carlin speak.
Wouldnt trust this guy farther than I can spit....strange how he has expressions and somewhat resembles W
Ahmadinejad is indeed crazy, yes it's stupid of him to say the hallocaust didnt exist, but do you really think he full heartedly believes that? It was clearly said to just piss off Israel and the rest of the jews around the world.
The fact he said gays don't exist in Iran was said to piss off Americans, I just find it hard to believe he believes these things, he isn't a complete moron, he did get elected Iranian President didnt he?
I don't know if any of you caught his 60 Minutes interview on Sunday (Still availible on their website) but Ahmadinejad made some solid points especially the part about the IAEA monitoring Iran's nuclear activity, and Ahmadinejad even anaswers the question about if Iran has Nukes he answers with a "FIRM NO" and then talks about how Iran is against terrorism etc.
Now should we believe him? Who knows, how can we know? Probably not considering Iranian weapons were found in Iraq and its very clear Iran wants some type of influence in the Iraqi govt.
I really liked the part in the interview when Ahmadinejad talks about Bush and tells 60 minutes he's a terrible president because he spys on american citizens, kills the "sons and daughters of America in war", and even saying Bush should help the victims of Katrina.
Another fav part was when Ahmadinejad talked about if Bush is a true Christian why is he starting wars and killing hundreds of thousands of people. It was an interesting interview and I reccomend watching it, not to say it will change your mind but I think it's safe to say Americans may misunderstand Ahmadinejad, for good reason. I dont blame anyone who is pissed off at him, but personally I think its an act he's putting on just because he enjoys pissing people off, in particular Jews.
Just watch the interview, you'll be surprised when Ahmadinejad gives you some answers you like to hear.
Bob, great point. It could start a world war depending on how it went down.
