Hey, when Challenger blew up there were jokes about it too. People will laugh
at anything, except themselves. Imagine the glee when the bombs start flying.
Yes, Eric, love that humanity. On with the optimism ...

The above is a satirical letter to Iranian President Ahmadinejad regarding
the letter he sent to Bush. It is by the Iranian writer Ibrahim Nabavi.
Not everyone was as impressed with Ahmadinejad?s letter as Irene was.
Here is a sample:
"My Dear Mahmoud!
"Your effort to convert George Bush to Islam is indeed admirable... Do you
think that Bush's problem stems from the fact that he's not Muslim? If he were
Muslim, he would have, first thing, become a Wahhabi, and, with the power that
he possesses, would have attacked us with a vengeance overnight. So don't ask
him to convert to Islam!"
