That Wild and Crazy Persian

The more I hear about Ahmadinejad's letter to Bush, the more it reminds me this letter in the Book of Mormon. What's more astonishing is that some Americans describe it as a peace proposal.

It shouldn't be, however, because it's immediately clear that letter is based on all the complaints of the left in the West against Bush. Mahmoud has obviously been paying a lot of attention to the hysterical rhetoric of the left in this country and is spouting their rhetoric back at Bush. It could have been written by Cindy Sheehan.

One of the best parts is where mentions that he's a teacher and that he worries about the human rights of prisoners in Guantanamo. He probably wonders why the haven't been beheaded.

His spiel isn't serious, any more than Bush's critics are serious or rational, but the rapidity with which it has been embraced by the left including news organizations should be alarming. It certainly is to me.

Right Wing Nuthouse has more on this phenomenon.
