This is the second overture from Iran to engage with the administration in a diplomatic solution to the current crisis.

How about Ahmadinejad picking up the phone and calling Bush.
Isn't that what you would do if you seriously wanted to talk to him?
The letter was not intended for Bush and was not intended to foster direct discussions. The letter was intended to get Muslims around the world to support Iran. The letter was intended to stir Bush haters in the US. The letter was the basis for a declaration of war if the US doesn't start doing thing the Ahmadinejad way.
I hope I am wrong. But realistically we all know the path we are on. For the Bush haters - the war won't happen while Bush is President, so you won't have him to blame. But, I hope you realize the dilemma we face.
