text: Are you referring to Ahmedinejad's "Letter to the American People?" First of all: he is NOT a cleric. His boss, the Shah, is a cleric. Ahmed is not part of Islam's priestly class--he's a civilian president, like Bush, who is a Christian. So calling him a cleric is like calling Bush a priest. But anyway: I agreed with 90% of that letter. True, it was an obvious political ploy, but he made a ton of sense. And I DO think he has a higher IQ than Bushie--but of course, that ain't saying much. And--before it starts: any of you nimrods want to flame me for being unpatriotic: SAVE it! I'm a U.S. veteran against the war. I've been shot at defending this country.
