Message of H.E. Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran

To the American People

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

O, Almighty God, bestow upon humanity the perfect human being promised to all by You, and make us among his followers.

Noble Americans,

Were we not faced with the activities of the US administration in this part of the world and the negative ramifications of those activities on the daily lives of our peoples, coupled with the many wars and calamities caused by the US administration as well as the tragic consequences of US interference in other countries?

Were the American people not God-fearing, truth loving, and justice seeking, while the US administration actively conceals the truth and impedes any objective portrayal of current realities;

And if we did not share a common responsibility to promote and protect freedom and human dignity and integrity;

Then, there would have been little urgency to have a dialogue with you.
While Divine providence has placed Iran and the United States geographically far apart, we should be cognizant that human values and our common human spirit, which proclaim the dignity and exalted worth of all human beings, have brought our two great nations of Iran and the United States closer together.

Both our nations are God-fearing, truth loving and justice seeking, and both seek dignity, respect and perfection.

Both greatly value and readily embrace the promotion of human ideals such as compassion, empathy, respect for the rights of human beings, securing justice and equity, and defending the innocent and the weak against oppressors and bullies.
We are all inclined towards the good, and towards extending a helping hand to one another, particularly to those in need.

We all deplore injustice, the trampling of peoples' rights and the intimidation and humiliation of human beings.

We all detest darkness, deceit, lies and distortion, and seek and admire salvation, enlightenment, sincerity and honesty.

The pure human essence of the two great nations of Iran and the United States testify to the veracity of these statements.

Noble Americans,

Our nation has always extended its hand of friendship to all other nations of the world.

Hundreds of thousands of my Iranian compatriots are living amongst you in friendship and peace, and are contributing positively to your society. Our people have been in contact with you over the past many years and have maintained these contacts despite the unnecessary restrictions of US authorities.

As mentioned, we have common concerns, face similar challenges, and are pained by the sufferings and afflictions in the world.

We, like you, are aggrieved by the ever-worsening pain and misery of the Palestinian people. Persistent aggressions by the Zionists are making life more and more difficult for the rightful owners of the land of Palestine. In broad daylight, in front of cameras and before the eyes of the world, they are bombarding innocent defenseless civilians, bulldozing houses, firing machine guns at students in the streets and alleys, and subjecting their families to endless grief.

No day goes by without a new crime.

Palestinian mothers, just like Iranian and American mothers, love their children, and are painfully bereaved by the imprisonment, wounding and murder of their children. What mother wouldn't?

For 60 years, the Zionist regime has driven millions of the inhabitants of Palestine out of their homes. Many of these refugees have died in the Diaspora and in refugee camps. Their children have spent their youth in these camps and are aging while still in the hope of returning to homeland.

You know well that the US administration has persistently provided blind and blanket support to the Zionist regime, has emboldened it to continue its crimes, and has prevented the UN Security Council from condemning it.

Who can deny such broken promises and grave injustices towards humanity by the US administration?

Governments are there to serve their own people. No people wants to side with or support any oppressors. But regrettably, the US administration disregards even its own public opinion and remains in the forefront of supporting the trampling of the rights of the Palestinian people.

Let's take a look at Iraq . Since the commencement of the US military presence in Iraq , hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been killed, maimed or displaced. Terrorism in Iraq has grown exponentially. With the presence of the US military in Iraq , nothing has been done to rebuild the ruins, to restore the infrastructure or to alleviate poverty. The US Government used the pretext of the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq , but later it became clear that that was just a lie and a deception.

Although Saddam was overthrown and people are happy about his departure, the pain and suffering of the Iraqi people has persisted and has even been aggravated.
In Iraq , about one hundred and fifty thousand American soldiers, separated from their families and loved ones, are operating under the command of the current US administration. A substantial number of them have been killed or wounded and their presence in Iraq has tarnished the image of the American people and government.
Their mothers and relatives have, on numerous occasions, displayed their discontent with the presence of their sons and daughters in a land thousands of miles away from US shores. American soldiers often wonder why they have been sent to Iraq.

I consider it extremely unlikely that you, the American people, consent to the billions of dollars of annual expenditure from your treasury for this military misadventure.

Noble Americans,

You have heard that the US administration is kidnapping its presumed opponents from across the globe and arbitrarily holding them without trial or any international supervision in horrendous prisons that it has established in various parts of the world. God knows who these detainees actually are, and what terrible fate awaits them.

You have certainly heard the sad stories of the Guantanamo and Abu-Ghraib prisons. The US administration attempts to justify them through its proclaimed "war on terror." But every one knows that such behavior, in fact, offends global public opinion, exacerbates resentment and thereby spreads terrorism, and tarnishes the US image and its credibility among nations.

The US administration's illegal and immoral behavior is not even confined to outside its borders. You are witnessing daily that under the pretext of "the war on terror," civil liberties in the United States are being increasingly curtailed. Even the privacy of individuals is fast losing its meaning. Judicial due process and fundamental rights are trampled upon. Private phones are tapped, suspects are arbitrarily arrested, sometimes beaten in the streets, or even shot to death.
I have no doubt that the American people do not approve of this behavior and indeed deplore it.

The US administration does not accept accountability before any organization, institution or council. The US administration has undermined the credibility of international organizations, particularly the United Nations and its Security Council. But, I do not intend to address all the challenges and calamities in this message.

The legitimacy, power and influence of a government do not emanate from its arsenals of tanks, fighter aircrafts, missiles or nuclear weapons. Legitimacy and influence reside in sound logic, quest for justice and compassion and empathy for all humanity. The global position of the United States is in all probability weakened because the administration has continued to resort to force, to conceal the truth, and to mislead the American people about its policies and practices.

Undoubtedly, the American people are not satisfied with this behavior and they showed their discontent in the recent elections. I hope that in the wake of the mid-term elections, the administration of President Bush will have heard and will heed the message of the American people.

My questions are the following:

Is there not a better approach to governance?

Is it not possible to put wealth and power in the service of peace, stability, prosperity and the happiness of all peoples through a commitment to justice and respect for the rights of all nations, instead of aggression and war?

We all condemn terrorism, because its victims are the innocent.
But, can terrorism be contained and eradicated through war, destruction and the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocents?

If that were possible, then why has the problem not been resolved?
The sad experience of invading Iraq is before us all.

What has blind support for the Zionists by the US administration brought for the American people? It is regrettable that for the US administration, the interests of these occupiers supersedes the interests of the American people and of the other nations of the world.

What have the Zionists done for the American people that the US administration considers itself obliged to blindly support these infamous aggressors? Is it not because they have imposed themselves on a substantial portion of the banking, financial, cultural and media sectors?

I recommend that in a demonstration of respect for the American people and for humanity, the right of Palestinians to live in their own homeland should be recognized so that millions of Palestinian refugees can return to their homes and the future of all of Palestine and its form of government be determined in a referendum. This will benefit everyone.

Now that Iraq has a Constitution and an independent Assembly and Government, would it not be more beneficial to bring the US officers and soldiers home, and to spend the astronomical US military expenditures in Iraq for the welfare and prosperity of the American people? As you know very well, many victims of Katrina continue to suffer, and countless Americans continue to live in poverty and homelessness.

I'd also like to say a word to the winners of the recent elections in the US:
The United States has had many administrations; some who have left a positive legacy, and others that are neither remembered fondly by the American people nor by other nations.

Now that you control an important branch of the US Government, you will also be held to account by the people and by history.

If the US Government meets the current domestic and external challenges with an approach based on truth and Justice, it can remedy some of the past afflictions and alleviate some of the global resentment and hatred of America. But if the approach remains the same, it would not be unexpected that the American people would similarly reject the new electoral winners, although the recent elections, rather than reflecting a victory, in reality point to the failure of the current administration's policies. These issues had been extensively dealt with in my letter to President Bush earlier this year.

To sum up:

It is possible to govern based on an approach that is distinctly different from one of coercion, force and injustice.

It is possible to sincerely serve and promote common human values, and honesty and compassion.

It is possible to provide welfare and prosperity without tension, threats, imposition or war.

It is possible to lead the world towards the aspired perfection by adhering to unity, monotheism, morality and spirituality and drawing upon the teachings of the Divine Prophets.

Then, the American people, who are God-fearing and followers of Divine religions, will overcome every difficulty.

What I stated represents some of my anxieties and concerns.

I am confident that you, the American people, will play an instrumental role in the establishment of justice and spirituality throughout the world. The promises of the Almighty and His prophets will certainly be realized; Justice and Truth will prevail and all nations will live a true life in a climate replete with love, compassion and fraternity.

The US governing establishment, the authorities and the powerful should not choose irreversible paths. As all prophets have taught us, injustice and transgression will eventually bring about decline and demise. Today, the path of return to faith and spirituality is open and unimpeded.

We should all heed the Divine Word of the Holy Qur'an:

" But those who repent, have faith and do good may receive Salvation. Your Lord, alone, creates and chooses as He will, and others have no part in His choice; Glorified is God and Exalted above any partners they ascribe to Him. " (28:67-68)

I pray to the Almighty to bless the Iranian and American nations and indeed all nations of the world with dignity and success.

************************************

Dear Nutjob,
In the name of those who stand for liberty,

How typical it is for you to open your letter with a wish that we all become followers of your religion. To assume that this would be seen by Americans as a gesture of friendship shows how truly little you understand about who we are. Let me enlighten you. No, not all Americans are God-fearing. In fact, some believe in no god whatsoever, as is their right. Clearly, you know very little of who we are.

But we know who you are. Let me remind you who we are:

We are the country whose citizens you held hostage for more than a year. Though you personally have managed to sidestep the questions raised about that particular event, I suspect you know well what I’m referring to. The ‘current reality’ is that your country’s leadership has changed little from then, and, in truth, may contain many of the same faces. Do not presume to greet me, in particular, as a friend, and do not presume to speak of any commonalities between us.

You spoke of peace and unity in the U.N., yet only days later told your own people that you knew that the Security Council was an ineffective body, as was the U.N. You have made no attempt to cease preparations for hostilities. Say what you will about needing nuclear power – I’m not buying it.

Your tired lines about U.S. “interference” and U.S-caused war are pathetic and predictable. Your psychotic former next-door neighbor ignored the world’s sanctions for more than a decade, complying when it suited him, speaking out of both sides of his mouth, and taking pot-shots at our pilots. He earned what he got, and from where I sit, we’ve been overkind.

You speak of a “common responsibility to promote and protect freedom and human dignity and integrity.” As I said, there are no commonalities between us. When your country offers freedom, when your country offers human dignity, and when your leaders show any integrity whatsoever, then can you speak to me of our common duty. As an American woman, I wonder exactly what “freedoms” I would see if I moved to your country. Here, I am free to call you a warped little cockroach with a death complex and delusions of grandeur. I wonder if that “freedom” would exist on the streets of Tehran. Somehow, I doubt it. Here, I can worship any god I choose – or none – in any manner I choose. Somehow, I don’t think I could do so over your way. Here, I am educated. Here, I have the same rights as any man in this country. Here, I am free.

Words cannot express how grateful I am that our countries are far apart geographically. But do not take comfort in that distance – you are not far enough from us to escape when at last we are tired of your threats. We’re about as close to you philosophically as you are to your sanity.

You say that “Both our nations are God-fearing, truth loving and justice seeking, and both seek dignity, respect and perfection.” I never cease to be amazed at how ridiculously arrogant you are. You seek none of these things, and you have never once stood to defend “the weak.” You have never defended anything but your demented perversion of religion, and your own interests. You are a pathetic, twisted little coward. Any helping hand you have ever extended to anyone has only been to forward your own agenda, and secure your own power.

Both greatly value and readily embrace the promotion of human ideals such as compassion, empathy, respect for the rights of human beings, securing justice and equity, and defending the innocent and the weak against oppressors and bullies.

True, we detest deceit, lies, and distortion – which is why I detest people like you with every fiber of my American being.

Your wish to obliterate Israel has nothing to do with the Palestinians, and never has. More lies. You, and others in your region, call the Palestinians brothers when doing so allows you to advance your agenda. How much aid have you provided the Palestinian people (arming terrorists doesn’t count)? Have you offered them sanctuary? Have you worked to promote peace talks? Have you done anything other than fuel the conflict? Though many may be fooled, I know that most countries in the Middle-East view the Palestinians as lowlife. You speak of them as brothers because it allows you to rant about Israel. Not once would you ever lift a sincere finger to help any Palestinian unless you had something to gain from it.

It is unfortunate that there is such conflict between Israel and its neighbors. Admittedly, the formation of Israel was not ideally executed. But what country has an ideal history? And let’s face it – your problem with Israel has very little to do with the Palestinians. It has quite a bit to do with your twisted version of Islam, and maybe just a little to do with a collective Arabic chip on the shoulder after the trouncing you all got from them. Six days. Pretty pathetic.

Thank goodness the U.S. prevented condemnation of Israel for defending itself. In truth, I’m pretty ticked off at our government for helping to broker the ceasefire. Hamas and Hezbollah have continued their attacks, as those of us with brains knew they would. You and your Syrian brothers have continued to hide like cowards behind the terrorists, to let them attack Israel on your behalf. You have committed countless acts of murder through terrorists. And I am disappointed in our Administration for not upholding its promise to treat those who support and harbor terrorists as terrorists themselves.

Speaking of which, yes, why don’t we look at Iraq. Saddam’s had it coming for over a decade. Let me remind you of one thing – he LOST. His fabled troops surrendered to news helicopters. We were home in a matter of weeks the first time we came to town. And still he defied the world – not us – the world. More than a decade of threats, attacks on our planes, and lies. Countless years of funding terrorists. He should have been dealt with long ago. And I’m not talking about a trial. By the way, how are all those MiGs you stole from him? Still flying? Can your pilots actually fly them? His couldn’t.

Terrorism has indeed grown in Iraq – thanks to you. The blood of my Heroes is on your hands, and I will never forget that. You have fueled the enemy – you ARE the enemy. You say that nothing has been done to rebuild Iraq, but I know differently. I know how much our troops have done. I know the disgusting wreckage of an infrastructure that was Iraq long before we got there. And maybe our troops would have a little more time to deal with some of those concerns if you stopped supplying the people shooting at them. Hmmm…I wonder, if we did a comparison, how many Iraqi civilians you’ve killed on purpose through your little terrorist lapdogs, versus how many we’ve killed accidentally, how things would stack up. I wonder if your number is ten times ours…or a hundred times. I’m betting you’re WAY ahead of us.

In Iraq and surrounding areas, about a hundred and fifty thousand American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines, are separated from their families and loved ones, operating under command of the United States. Still more troops serve from other countries. A number of them have been killed or wounded, and I am humbled by their courage, their dedication, their skills, and the sheer magnitude of their character. They are willing to go into harm’s way to protect me from people like you. They are Heroes. You, on the other hand, are a bottom-feeder.

In some cases, their families have disagreed with the war. Many other families have spoken clearly of their support for the troops and their mission. Yes, some troops wonder if there is anything to be gained by being in Iraq. But I remember the words of a United States Soldier whom I was privileged to come to know. He wrote to me that he knew he was in Iraq to deal with the enemy there, so that we did not have to deal with them here.

I know that we are there because we can no longer afford to wait to meet the enemy. In the past, we have had that luxury. But when terrorists came here to attack, that luxury was no more. Saddam was one part of the equation. You are another. Be glad that the current Administration is more patient with you than I would be.

You say you consider it extremely unlikely that we support the expenditure necessary to fight this war. I say that if they asked for more to supply our troops, I would cheerfully give it. You forget that we endured rationing to deal with the enemy once before. If rationing gas were necessary, I would endure it. If my taxes went up, I would endure it. I would endure countless hardships to ensure that my Heroes were well armed and well protected. In fact, I would smile at every penny, were I guaranteed that those pennies were ensuring that there were less terrorists with a pulse.

I have heard of the prisons. I really don’t care. In fact, I don’t think I’m capable of caring any less about the fate of terrorists, with the only exception being that I am very interested in seeing that they are eliminated. I don’t care to know who they are, and I don’t care to think about what they go through, except to hope that they aren’t ever let loose to pose a threat again. As far as I'm concerned, tarring and feathering would be too good for them.

I have heard of Abu Ghraib and Gitmo. If you think I give a hoot about the fact that some of the enemy had to pose for some goofy little pictures, you’re seriously mistaken. Those troops involved in the much-overblown Abu Ghraib scandal broke military regulations, and have been punished. I will not shed one tear, nor will I lose a wink of sleep, over the terrorists in those photos. I know the type of treatment we can expect from people like your terrorist friends. I know who Robert Dean Stethem is. I know who PFC Thomas Tucker and PFC Kristian Menchaca are. In PFC Tucker’s last phone call home, he said “Be proud of me Mom, I'm defending my country.” And I know what your friends did to him. No matter what we have ever done to terrorist scum, they got off light.

I know of Gitmo, too. I know how the filthy terrorist animals there throw feces – and other bodily fluids, at the guards there. I know how they whine about mistreatment while being fed better than the average American is. I know how they attack the guards who ensure they have clean clothes and Korans. I know they’ve managed to persuade some of the American people that they deserve the protections of this country’s Constitution, even though they work tirelessly to see that country brought to its knees. I know that many of those released who were “not terrorists” have returned to attack US troops. I also know that bullets are far cheaper than prisons. Again, they are getting off light.

Private phones are tapped only when those calls involve conversations with terrorists – which is just fine by me. The US Constitution does not guarantee you the right to be a terrorist. Not that you’d know anything about civil liberties. And I don’t think you really want to open the door on mistreatment of accused criminals. People in glass houses really shouldn’t be flinging around stones – let alone boulders.

I certainly do not approve of violating the Constitution. I wholeheartedly approve of taking every available opportunity to kill terrorists.

The US administration needs no permission from the UN, nor does it require approval from demented little Neros like yourself, when taking action to defend itself and eliminate a threat. The UN itself has undermined its credibility, and were I in the drivers seat, I’d have recaptured the land their building sat on once we lost some important real estate in September, 2001. There is nothing gained by the U.S. through its involvement in the UN. It is a weak, pathetic organization, corrupt and clearly driven by anti-American agendas. It certainly doesn’t need any help from us to prove it to be so.

The American people did show discontent in the recent election. Check the turnout numbers, though, my insane little Nutjob. Turnout on my side of the political fence was quite low. And voters on the other side of the fence chose largely middle-of-the-road Democrats. Not the clear victory for the anti-war, pseudo-socialist crowd that you and they would make it out to be.

If you want to test the theory on the US being weakened, by all means, keep pushing. The legitimacy, power, and influence of a government may not emanate from its arsenal, but trust me, you still don’t want that arsenal turned on you.
I’ve still got a little time to kill here, so I’ll answer your questions:

Is there not a better approach to governance?

Than the American system? Possibly. Our system certainly has its flaws. But if there’s a better system than what we’ve got, no one’s invented it yet.

Is it not possible to put wealth and power in the service of peace, stability, prosperity and the happiness of all peoples through a commitment to justice and respect for the rights of all nations, instead of aggression and war?

If the world were truly committed to justice, you’d be imprisoned in some dark hole somewhere with no one to talk to but yourself. Either that, or you’d be dead. My cash is not going to the prosperity of all peoples if there’s anything I can say about it. There are a whole lot of people I don’t want to see prosper. You’re one of them. War is sometimes an unfortunate necessity, and since we’re one of the few countries with a spine, we often end up as the only one that will stand up against the enemy. It may be possible to have peace, stability, and all the rest, but quite frankly, if it means cozying up to lunatics like you, I can live without it.

We all condemn terrorism, because its victims are the innocent.
But, can terrorism be contained and eradicated through war, destruction and the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocents?

Probably not. But the killing of hundreds of thousands of terrorists would be a step in the right direction. Removing you from the gene pool wouldn’t hurt, either.
If that were possible, then why has the problem not been resolved? The sad experience of invading Iraq is before us all.

Well, let’s see…maybe it hasn’t been solved because your warped little version of Islam tells people that blowing themselves up gets them in the express lane for paradise. Pretty heavy motivation there, although I don’t really get the appeal of the 72 virgin thing. Somehow, I can’t see any American man being motivated by the promise of having to deal with 72 women for all eternity.

We’ve definitely made mistakes in Iraq. But killing terrorists has never been one of them.

What has blind support for the Zionists by the US administration brought for the American people? It is regrettable that for the US administration, the interests of these occupiers supersedes the interests of the American people and of the other nations of the world.

It always comes back to Israel for you, doesn’t it? Heck, Israel’s pretty darned good at dealing with terrorists, so supporting them certainly advances my interests on that score.

What have the Zionists done for the American people that the US administration considers itself obliged to blindly support these infamous aggressors? Is it not because they have imposed themselves on a substantial portion of the banking, financial, cultural and media sectors?

No, you bigoted little freak – you’ve been reading the Mel Gibson story a little too frequently. You should also probably check something out of the library other than Goebels’ memoirs. Then again, you probably can’t – you’d need to actually allow people to read whatever they wanted to in order to have a good library. Actually, though I disagree with some of their approach, they do know your ilk very well. And they don’t bother listening to the hug-a-terrorist crowd either – at least they didn’t until recently, which was terribly disappointing. I was actually hoping they’d grind Hezbollah into dust. Pity.

I’ve got a few things to say about your other tidbits of “wisdom” too:

I recommend that in a demonstration of respect for the American people and for humanity, the right of Palestinians to live in their own homeland should be recognized so that millions of Palestinian refugees can return to their homes and the future of all of Palestine and its form of government be determined in a referendum. This will benefit everyone.

I recommend that in a demonstration of respect for the American people and for humanity, you grab one of those new rockets you’re developing, and shoot yourself into the sun. This will benefit everyone.

Now that Iraq has a Constitution and an independent Assembly and Government, would it not be more beneficial to bring the US officers and soldiers home, and to spend the astronomical US military expenditures in Iraq for the welfare and prosperity of the American people? As you know very well, many victims of Katrina continue to suffer, and countless Americans continue to live in poverty and homelessness.

Yeah, but the streets of Iran are paved with gold, right? Once you get your little dogs out of Iraq, it’s going to go a long way to getting us out of there. So, you first.

I'd also like to say a word to the winners of the recent elections in the US:

The United States has had many administrations; some who have left a positive legacy, and others that are neither remembered fondly by the American people nor by other nations.

Now that you control an important branch of the US Government, you will also be held to account by the people and by history.

Now, there you’ve finally said something I agree with. They will indeed be held accountable – I hope. If they show themselves to be the weak-kneed cowards they can be, there will certainly be ramifications of epic proportions. Then again, they’ve got two years to royally screw things up, and on that score, I don’t think they’ve ever disappointed.

To sum up:
It is possible to govern based on an approach that is distinctly different from one of coercion, force and injustice.

It is possible to sincerely serve and promote common human values, and honesty and compassion.

It is possible to provide welfare and prosperity without tension, threats, imposition or war.

It is possible to lead the world towards the aspired perfection by adhering to unity, monotheism, morality and spirituality and drawing upon the teachings of the Divine Prophets.

Then, the American people, who are God-fearing and followers of Divine religions, will overcome every difficulty.

What I stated represents some of my anxieties and concerns.

I am confident that you, the American people, will play an instrumental role in the establishment of justice and spirituality throughout the world. The promises of the Almighty and His prophets will certainly be realized; Justice and Truth will prevail and all nations will live a true life in a climate replete with love, compassion and fraternity.

The US governing establishment, the authorities and the powerful should not choose irreversible paths. As all prophets have taught us, injustice and transgression will eventually bring about decline and demise. Today, the path of return to faith and spirituality is open and unimpeded.

We should all heed the Divine Word of the Holy Qur'an:

"But those who repent, have faith and do good may receive Salvation. Your Lord, alone, creates and chooses as He will, and others have no part in His choice; Glorified is God and Exalted above any partners they ascribe to Him. " (28:67-68)

I pray to the Almighty to bless the Iranian and American nations and indeed all nations of the world with dignity and success.

See, there you go again with the “we should all hear the Qur’an” stuff. I think that the best response to this last bit is probably to quote an American general. Granted, the statement he made has apparently been sanitized for the public, but I think you’ll still be able to get where he was going.

In the winter of 1944-1945, American troops of the 101st Airborne were surrounded. German general sent a message to American General Anthony McAuliffe, requesting his surrender. His response has been quoted as “Nuts!” as in “Nuts to you!” It was translated by the German interpreter as “Go to hell!” I suspect that the actual quote was two words, one of them “you,” but that it wasn’t nearly as family friendly as “Nuts."

In the spirit of family friendliness, though, let me echo General McAuliffe’s response by simply saying, “Nuts to you!”

Sincerely,
