1. Basically saying the Mr. Bush does NOT have moral superiority.

[rodeodance]

[Roxy66]

2. I think it would be a big mistake if they blow this off

[rodeodance]

5. Kerry and others say we need direct talks-and bush belittles him.

9. Condi to the rescue.

[Poppyseedman]

15. Read the letter and you will think differently

Basically, he calls for Bush to to act like he believes in his faith, reject liberal democratic principles and embrace the common monotheistic God............

18. Not A Mistake. Boosh** WANTS War

[Homer12]

Maybe Bush and him should have a Conservative Religious-wignut-off.

6. Direct Diplomacy

And Bushco ignores it! Typical.

[LSK]

7. wasnt Saddam bending over backwards in cooperation at the end

And Bush ignored him.

This is all the same shit. Nothings different.

8. Hell yes!

The letter is just a beginning. A dialogue is needed, not an outright dismissal. Any argument is better than any bomb.

10. paying attention to the letter would slow down his rush to war with Iran-

and deprive him of getting his rocks off on the destruction.

11. Stephen Hadley--

[rodeodance]

13. He purposely missed the point (goes on to say others have talked with

16. And today Condi is using the 'c' word

'Consequences'. As in there will be some if Iran doesn't stop its enrichment program.

I know we're skint, but couldn't they even afford a new script this time around?

17. I know why Bush dismissed the letter!!!!!

I just read it. There were too many words.

19. International meritocracy of human rights

The president of iran deserves the response worthy of how
he treats his own people. The US deserves the response it
treats its people.... one has the world's largest prison
population, systemic prison rape and endorses torture,
the other is a rogue state too.

If we had a meritocracy of human rights, we would not
be hearing from either of these puerile nation states,
but from some mature ones.
