Ahmadinejad plays hard-ball with Bush. in his letter he says:
"September eleven was not a simple operation.
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.
Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret? "

Ahmadinejad's Letter to Bush
unofficial translation from the original written in Farsi:
"Mr. George Bush, president of the United States of America
For some time now, I have been thinking, how one can justify the
undeniable contradictions that exist in the international arena --
which
are being constantly debated, especially in political forums and
amongst
university students. Many questions remain unanswered. Those have
prompted me to discuss some of the contradictions and questions, in the
hopes that it might bring about an opportunity to redress them.
Can one be a follower of Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him), the great
Messenger of God,
Feel obliged to respect human rights,
Present liberalism as a civilization model,
Announce one's opposition to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and
WMDs,
Make "War on Terror" his slogan,
And finally,
work towards the establishment of an unified international community --
a community which Christ and the virtuous of the Earth will one day
govern,
But at the same time,
Have countries attacked. The lives, reputations and possessions of
people destroyed and on the slight chance of the presence of a few
criminals in a village, city, or convoy for example, the entire
village,
city or convoy set ablaze.
Or because of the possibility of the existence of WMDs in one country,
it is occupied, around 100,000 people killed, its water sources,
agriculture and industry destroyed, close to 180,000 foreign troops put
on the ground, sanctity of private homes of citizens broken, and the
country pushed back perhaps 50 years. At what price? Hundreds of
billions of dollars spent from the treasury of one country and certain
other countries and tens of thousands of young men and women -- as
occupation troops -- put in harms way, taken away from family and loved
ones, their hands stained with the blood of others, subjected to so
much
psychological pressure that everyday some commit suicide and those
returning home suffer depression, become sickly and grapple with all
sorts of ailments; while some are killed and their bodies handed to
their families.
On the pretext of the existence of WMDs, this great tragedy came to
engulf both the peoples of the occupied and the occupying country.
Later
it was revealed that no WMDs existed to begin with.
Of course, Saddam was a murderous dictator. But the war was not waged
to
topple him, the announced goal of the war was to find and destroy
weapons of mass destruction. He was toppled along the way towards
another goal; nevertheless the people of the region are happy about it.
I point out that throughout the many years of the imposed war on Iran
Saddam was supported by the West.
Mr. President,
You might know that I am a teacher. My students ask me how can these
actions be reconciled with the values outlined at the beginning of this
letter and duty to the tradition of Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him),
the Messenger of peace and forgiveness?
There are prisoners in Guantanamo Bay that have not been tried, have no
legal representation, their families cannot see them and are obviously
kept in a strange land outside their own country. There is no
international monitoring of their conditions and fate. No one knows
whether they are prisoners, POWs, accused or criminals.
European investigators have confirmed the existence of secret prisons
in
Europe too. I could not correlate the abduction of a person, and him or
her being kept in secret prisons, with the provisions of any judicial
system. For that matter, I fail to understand how such actions
correspond to the values outlined in the beginning of this letter, i.e.
the teachings of Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him), human rights and
liberal values.
Young people, university students, and ordinary people have many
questions about the phenomenon of Israel. I am sure you are familiar
with some of them.
Throughout history, many countries have been occupied, but I think the
establishment of a new country with a new people, is a new phenomenon
that is exclusive to our times.
Students are saying that 60 years ago such a country did not exist.
They
show old documents and globes and say try as we have, we have not been
able to find a country named Israel.
I tell them to study the history of WWI and II. One of my students told
me that during WWII, which more than tens of millions of people
perished
in, news about the war, was quickly disseminated by the warring
parties.
Each touted their victories and the most recent battlefront defeat of
the other party. After the war they claimed that six million Jews had
been killed. Six million people that were surely related to at least
two
million families. Again let us assume that these events are true. Does
that logically translate into the establishment of the state of Israel
in the Middle East or support for such a state? How can this phenomenon
be rationalized or explained?
Mr. President,
I am sure you know how -- and at what cost -- Israel was established:
-- Many thousands were killed in the process.
-- Millions of indigenous people were made refugees.
-- Hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland, olive plantations,
towns and villages were destroyed.
This tragedy is not exclusive to the time of establishment;
unfortunately it has been ongoing for 60 years now.
A regime has been established which does not show mercy even to kids,
destroys houses while the occupants are still in them, announces
beforehand its list and plans to assassinate Palestinian figures, and
keeps thousands of Palestinians in prison. Such a phenomenon is unique
-- or at the very least extremely rare -- in recent memory.
Another big question asked by the people is "why is this regime being
supported?"
Is support for this regime in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ
(Peace Be Upon Him) or Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) or liberal values?
Or are we to understand that allowing the original inhabitants of these
lands -- inside and outside Palestine -- whether they are Christian,
Muslim or Jew, to determine their fate, runs contrary to principles of
democracy, human rights and the teachings of prophets? If not, why is
there so much opposition to a referendum?
The newly elected Palestinian administration recently took office. All
independent observers have confirmed that this government represents
the
electorate. Unbelievingly, they have put the elected government under
pressure and have advised it to recognize the Israeli regime, abandon
the struggle and follow the programs of the previous government.
If the current Palestinian government had run on the above platform,
would the Palestinian people have voted for it? Again, can such
position
taken in opposition to the Palestinian government be reconciled with
the
values outlined earlier? The people are, also asking "why are all UNSC
resolutions in condemnation of Israel vetoed?"
Mr. President,
As you are well aware, I live amongst the people and am in constant
contact with them -- many people from around the Middle East manage to
contact me as well. They do not have faith in there dubious policies
either. There is evidence that the people of the region are becoming
increasingly angry with such policies.
It is not my intention to pose too many questions, but I need to refer
to other points as well.
Why is it that any technological and scientific achievement reached in
the Middle East region is translated into and portrayed as a threat to
the Zionist regime? Is not scientific R&D one of the basic rights of
nations?
You are familiar with history. Aside from the Middle Ages, in what
other
point in history has scientific and technical progress been a crime?
Can
the possibility of scientific achievements being utilized for military
purposes be reason enough to oppose science and technology altogether?
If such a supposition is true, then all scientific disciplines,
including physics, chemistry, mathematics, medicine, engineering, etc,
must be opposed.
Lies were told in the Iraqi matter. What was the result? I have no
doubt
that telling lies is reprehensible in any culture, and you do not like
to be lied to.
Mr. President,
Don't Latin Americans have the right to ask why their elected
government
are being opposed and coup leaders supported? Or, Why must they
constantly be threatened and live in fear?
The people of Africa are hard-working, creative and talented. They can
play an important and valuable role in providing for the needs of
humanity and contribute to its material and spiritual progress. Poverty
and hardship in large parts of Africa are preventing this from
happening. Don't they have the right to ask why their enormous wealth
--
including minerals -- is being looted, despite the fact that they need
it more than others?
Again, do such actions correspond to the teachings of Christ and the
tenets of human rights?
The brave and faithful people of Iran too have many questions and
grievances, including: the coup d'etat of 1953 and the subsequent
toppling of the legal government of the day, opposition to the Islamic
revolution, transformation of an Embassy into a headquarters supporting
the activities of those opposing the Islamic Republic (many thousands
of
pages of documents corroborate this claim), support for Saddam in the
war waged against Iran, the shooting down of the Iranian passenger
plane, freezing the assets of the Iranian nation, increasing threats,
anger and displeasure vis-a-vis the scientific and nuclear progress of
the Iranian nation (just when all Iranians are jubilant and celebrating
their country's progress), and many other grievances that I will not
refer to in this letter.
Mr. President,
September Eleven was a horrendous incident. The killing of innocents is
deplorable and appalling in any part of the world. Our government
immediately declared its disgust with the perpetrators and offered its
condolences to the bereaved and expressed its sympathies.
All governments have a duty to protect the lives, property and good
standing of their citizens. Reportedly your government employs
extensive
security, protection and intelligence systems -- and even hunts its
opponents abroad. September eleven was not a simple operation. 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. 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. For some years now, the people of your country and
neighbors of world trouble spots do not have peace of mind. After 9.11,
instead of healing and tending to the emotional wounds of the survivors
and the American people -- who had been immensely traumatized by the
attacks -- some Western media only intensified the climate of fear and
insecurity -- some constantly talked about the possibility of new
terror
attacks and kept the people in fear. Is that service to the American
people? Is it possible to calculate the damages incurred from fear and
panic?
American citizens lived in constant fear of fresh attacks that could
come at any moment and in any place. They felt insecure in the street,
in their place of work and at home. 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
