It is by the Iranian writer Ibrahim Nabavi. Not everyone was as impressed with Ahmadinejadâs 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!"
