Should President Bush respond to Ahmadinejad's letter? The Democrats like the letter since it incorporates a lot of their "talking points." But, why should we have a discussion about our treatment of terrorists with the leader of a nation that has recently hanged two men for being homosexual and a 14-year old girl for "sassing" a judge. The letter basically says we must become Moslems or we will have no peace. As many of the Moslem terrorists say, there is nothing to negotiate; they just want to kill us. Based on the Moslem custom the letter should be interpreted as a Declaration of War. I think Bush should respond that we interpret the letter as a Declaration of War, and that if that is incorrect, Ahmadinejad should respond with another letter confirming that he respects our belief in freedom of religion, and that he renounces his oft repeated desires for our destruction. Democrats like for people to apoligize, so Bush might also request an apology for occupying our Embassy in 1979.
