Iranian President Ahmadinejad's letter to George W. Bush hit the headlines for many reasons but the most important segment, in which Ahmadinejad discusses government sponsored terror, has largely been ignored.<br><br>Here is the excerpt from the letter.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>"Mr President, September Eleven was a horrendous incident.<br><br>The killing of innocents is deplorable and appalling in any part of the world.<br><br>Our government immediately declared its disgust with the perpetrators and offered its condolences to the bereaved and expressed its sympathies.<br><br>All governments have a duty to protect the lives, property and good standing of their citizens.<br><br>Reportedly your government employs extensive security, protection and intelligence systems – and even hunts its opponents abroad.<br><br>September eleven was not a simple operation.<br><br>Could it be planned and executed without coordination with intelligence and security services – or their extensive infiltration? Of course this is just an educated guess.<br><br>Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret? Why are we not told who botched their responsibilities? And, why aren’t those responsible and the guilty parties identified and put on trial? All governments have a duty to provide security and peace of mind for their citizens.<br><br>For some years now, the people of your country and neighbours of world trouble spots do not have peace of mind.<br><br>After 9.11, instead of healing and tending to the emotional wounds of the survivors and the American people – who had been immensely traumatised by the attacks – some Western media only intensified the climates of fear and insecurity – some constantly talked about the possibility of new terror attacks and kept the people in fear.<br><br>Is that service to the American people? Is it possible to calculate the damages incurred from fear and panic? American citizen lived in constant fear of fresh attacks that could come at any moment and in any place.<br><br>They felt insecure in the streets, in their place of work and at home.<br><br>Who would be happy with this situation? Why was the media, instead of conveying a feeling of security and providing peace of mind, giving rise to a feeling of insecurity? Some believe that the hype paved the way – and was the justification – for an attack on Afghanistan."</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br><br>link: <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://prisonplanet.com/articles/may2006/110506presidentsletter.htm" target="top">prison planet article</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>link: <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://p216.ezboard.com/frigorousintuitionfrm10.showMessage?topicID=4251.topic&index=3" target="top">Translation of Iranian Presidents Letter</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>discuss <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=dugoboy@rigorousintuition>dugoboy</A> at: 5/11/06 3:11 pm<br></i>
