PT Holmes,
Amigo! Please leave a Comment there, would help very much… and perhaps an email so I could discuss some collaborative (and monetizing) suggestions with you, Sir.

Came from LGF, where I posted the on-thread news that IowaHawk’s transcript was posted in MP3 on: BrainSurgeryWithSpoons.blogspot.com

Free for downloading, and guffawing, and the thoughts of deep thinking.

My mahmoud wrote me a letter…

One of the neat things about blogging is how informed many bloggers are. A number of bloggers, for example, discovered the content of the letter that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (I’ll never learn to write or pronounce his name, I cut and……

Looks like Mahmoud had been exposed to those life-lesson gay fairy tales a little too early…

JS – The US is not the only country that can negotiate but it has the biggest carrots: economic relations and guarantee security. If the US does go to war in Iran, Iraq and the rest of the ME will melt down too…if the international community really wants to prevent Iran from getting nukes, then we have to offer real incentives.

PTH – thanks!

Chad – even if the letter said what PTH has on his post, the letter is hugely important because its the first communication in 20+ years…it sets a precedent for real dialogue – whether it will be successful is another thing, but the US should use all its carrots as well as all its sticks – and it hasn’t yet.

JATaylor, did you actually read what was in the letter? Where are these parts of the letter that supposedly “[provide] an opportunity to negotiations?” Finally, what part of the entire concept of the 12th Imam do you not understand? Do you honestly believe that only if President Bush were to check ‘yes’ that Ahmadinejad would forget about all the trips to Qom, Iran to drop notes into the well where the 12th Imam lives, forget that he feels it’s his duty to start to pave the path, forget his entire belief system that there the end is near, etc.?

This isn’t an issue of security guarantees or economic relations. It doesn’t really matter what sanctions are placed upon Iran. Iran’s entire nuclear energy program is based upon religion and no amount of “soft power” will persuade a man who believes a divine light shone upon him at the UN that he should turn his religious beliefs into dust.

I believe our crack staff translated from Farsi, Swampy.

Thanks, Rogue Jew.

And J.S., it’s semi-pointless to engage a EUnuch in debate – when their only position is the default: pacifist, anti-Semitic, cave-in-to-all-turd-world-dictators-that-come-along-as-long-as-it-damages-the-great-satan.

At least JA made his point without the usual Bushitler rhetoric, and for that he gets points.
