Ahmadinejad On 9/11

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wrote an 18 page letter to American President George Bush in May of 2006. In that letter it seems rather clear that he was suggesting some government, perhaps Israel or America's own government, played a role in what he called the incident. He dismissed our Nation's press coverage as hype, going on to suggest its only real purpose was to provide a rationale for America to invade Afghanistan.

Our spineless politicians may kowtow to the UN and the likes of Ahmadinejad, but, as Americans, we do not have to. Given word that he may well still intend to visit Ground Zero during his upcoming visit to the UN, if it falls to average citizens, we should prevent this lunatic from coming anywhere close to that site.

I'll be there if need be, as will others. Will you?

To quote, in relevant part:

Mr. President,

September Eleven was a horrendous incident. The killing of innocents is deplorable and appalling in any part of the world. Our government immediately declared its disgust with the perpetrators and offered its condolences to the bereaved and expressed its sympathies.

All governments have a duty to protect the lives, property and good standing of their citizens. Reportedly your government employs extensive security, protection and intelligence systems -- and even hunts its opponents abroad. September eleven was not a simple operation. Could it be planned and executed without coordination with intelligence and security services -- or their extensive infiltration? Of course this is just an educated guess. Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret? Why are we not told who botched their responsibilities? And, why aren't those responsible and the guilty parties identified and put on trial?

All governments have a duty to provide security and peace of mind for their citizens. For some years now, the people of your country and neighbors of world trouble spots do not have peace of mind. After 9.11, instead of healing and tending to the emotional wounds of the survivors and the American people -- who had been immensely traumatized by the attacks -- some Western media only intensified the climate of fear and insecurity -- some constantly talked about the possibility of new terror attacks and kept the people in fear. Is that service to the American people? Is it possible to calculate the damages incurred from fear and panic?

American citizens lived in constant fear of fresh attacks that could come at any moment and in any place. They felt insecure in the street, in their place of work and at home. Who would be happy with this situation? Why was the media, instead of conveying a feeling of security and providing peace of mind, giving rise to a feeling of insecurity?

Some believe that the hype paved the way -- and was the justification -- for an attack on Afghanistan. Again I need to refer to the role of media. In media charters, correct dissemination of information and honest reporting of a story are established tenets. I express my deep regret about the disregard shown by certain Western media for these principles. The main pretext for an attack on Iraq was the existence of WMDs. This was repeated incessantly -- for the public to finally believe -- and the ground set for an attack on Iraq.

Will the truth not be lost in a contrived and deceptive climate? Again, if the truth is allowed to be lost, how can that be reconciled with the earlier mentioned values?

Is the truth known to the Almighty lost as well?

"Our government immediately declared its disgust with the perpetrators and offered its condolences to the bereaved and expressed its sympathies."

My office has a grade-A asshole [not me, just in case anyone wishes to make comment...] and he and I [hell, he and nearly everyone] have gone around in circles on an almost weekly basis for years; his wife died last week.

I signed the sympathy card for him. Several did not.

Asserting sympathy, genuine or otherwise, is not a big deal. Anyone can do it. Even Hussein and Kim, as I recall, took time away from their Lion Bearding parties to sign the 9-11 sympathy card.

Would the good citizens of New York please detain this bastard Ahmadawhackjob? Then you may send him to Texas where we have a few questions we would like to ask him, particularly why he is sending EFPs to kill our soldiers in Iraq. A few parents with sons killed by these weapons will be allowed to question him more fully.

AMEN Templar. Nobody delivers a message like a Texan ;)

Especially a Texan with ready access to comforting amounts of firepower.

Notice whenever someone presents an idea someone else doent like but cant refute, they label the author: a lunatic. This is a form wishful thinking: the desire to have the power to do what they did in soviet russia...repress free thought.
President Ahmadinajad shows more perspicacity and freedom of thought than those americans who show a taste for repressing ideas.
