MESSAGE FROM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN

To:  H.E. Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
And all Iranian people

From: Tricia Erickson, American Citizen and President of Crisis Management, Inc.

Mahmoud, thank you for allowing me to respond to your letter you wrote to me and all noble Americans.

"In the name of God, your creator and the one and only God

O, Almighty God, bestow upon the lost and deceived your truth so that they can discern when those who claim to kill in the name of Allah, that they are performing evil and treacherous acts and using the name of God to back up their crimes.

Misguided Iranians,

Were the Iranian people not God-fearing, truth loving and justice seeking, while Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his administration actively concealed the truth and impeded any objective portrayal of current realities;

Then, there would have been little urgency to have a dialogue with you.

While God has placed America and Iran geographically far apart, we should be cognizant that the leader of Iran has hijacked human value to his cause of unfounded hate, murder, and distortion in order to gain control of your minds so that you may fulfill his own personal agenda.

Both of our nations have such different views of a loving God.  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and other terrorists worship an ideology that would justify the taking of freedom and life from anyone who does not believe, adhere to and obey Mahmoud's evil agenda, while he uses the name of his god to justify his means. In contrast, Americans are free people, who are allowed to choose whether they worship Allah, Jesus Christ and God the Father, or any other God of their choice without the fear that they will be beheaded or nuked if they do not conform.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and other terrorists greatly value and readily embrace the promotion of human programming such as the false belief that everything that your terrorist government does to you is Israel's and America's fault.  America truly embraces human ideals such as compassion, empathy, respect for the rights of human beings, securing justice and equity, and defending the innocent and the week against oppressors and bullies. Oh, and I might add that Americans embrace the freedom to be independent thinkers and not be punished or killed if we do not accept a particular religion.  Americans are free to choose and are free not to be taken by force.

Americans are all inclined towards the good, and towards extending a helping hand to one another, particularly to those in need, as evidenced by all of the millions of dollars in humanitarian aid  we send across the world to feed the poor and promote freedom. By contrast,  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and other terrorists use their funds in unhumanatarian aid to extend the threat of nuclear anylation to anyone who does not conform to their control.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and other terrorists trample people's human rights and intimidate and humiliate human beings who are not compliant.  By contrast, America deplores injustice, the trampling of peoples' rights and the intimidation and humiliation of human beings."

Enough of this line by line response to your nonsense!

Mahmoud, you are not fooling anyone.  You use unsophisticated tactics which have worked well for you in your country, but you underestimate Americans.  You see, we are not easily brainwashed.  We have been trained to use our God given minds to weigh truth and you are not the first, nor will you be the last to think you are so smart that you can use such childish tactics on us. Do you not know how absolutely ridiculous you are to think that you can spread the same suggestive mind control techniques on the American people that you use on your own people? 

You see, most of the non-Islamofacists world does not have such high ambitions of murder and terrorism in their hearts like you do. I know that this may be a shock to your psyche; however, the truth is the truth. The non-Islamofacists world does not live by the law of terrorizing others into submission to your false and satanic belief of hate, maiming and murder.  The non-Islamofacists world does not view a Holy God as one who would reward acts of unspeakable evil against humanity with such blasphemous and unGodly acts of having sex with 72 virgins and wide eyed young boys while drinking flowing rivers of wine.  Non-Islamofacists people view your deviant paradise as anything other than a Godly reward. They would view your paradise as a Satanic and unGodly reward because Satan, himself, would condone and celebrate such acts. As a matter of fact, Satan, himself would honor the rape of young "wide eyed" innocent boys, as well as your belief that one man could have sex with 72 virgins that recycle to become virgins after every sexual act so that your sexually perverted terrorists could invade a virgin in sexual ecstasy upon every sexual encounter.  Oh, Mahmoud, canst thou wake up and smell the nauseating Doogh?

The real one and only God gives free will to people to choose or not to choose him.  I know that free will is a threat to your position and power.  I know that to be in power and in control is more important to you than all of the innocent lives you instruct your followers to wipe out.

However, the real God sees your two faces and knows your evil heart.  He sees you when you put on one face to the United Nations, posing as one who "cares" about the American people.  He sees you when you put your other face to the Iranian people, the face that keeps them in poverty, mayhem and death.

Mahmoud, since you have written your letter in the name of God, Let's just speak about your true eternal destiny.
 
There are only two places to go once your short life is over.  Hell is described as a lake of fire, terror and torment, of which you will be a prisoner for ever and ever. Once you are in hell, you will wish to die in order to find relief from your torment, however, you will not die.  You will exist forever and ever and your torment will never end.

Now, you may say, what kind of God would let this happen to me?  Dear Mahmoud, it will not be God who sends you there.  He loves you enough to give you your own free will to choose what your eternal destiny will be.  With all of the deception, murders and maimings on your hands, you will most likely send yourself to a place where you will have an eternity to think about all of the innocent mothers, babies, children, teenagers and fathers that you tortured and killed.  And in this place, there will be no one to control, no one to stroke your ego, no one to deceive, no one to kill.  There will only be you and your own lonely torment.

While you plan to murder millions of innocent people, by use of nuclear weapons,  who have the free agency to reject Islam, remember that there is one person who tried to save you from a fate worse than any terrorist act imaginable----Your own eternal destiny. 

Oh, my dearest enemy, the real God says to bless you.  I bless you by writing you this letter.  It is the loving thing to do to warn you and all terrorists of eminent and eternal doom.

Your loving enemy,

Tricia

Filed by RAW STORY

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
O, Almighty God, bestow upon humanity the perfect human being promised to all by You, and make us among his followers.

Noble Americans,

Were we not faced with the activities of the US administration in this part of the world and the negative ramifications of those activities on the daily lives of our peoples, coupled with the many wars and calamities caused by the US administration as well as the tragic consequences of US interference in other countries;
Were the American people not God-fearing, truth-loving, and justice-seeking, while the US administration actively conceals the truth and impedes any objective portrayal of current realities;
And if we did not share a common responsibility to promote and protect freedom and human dignity and integrity;
Then, there would have been little urgency to have a dialogue with you.

While Divine providence has placed Iran and the United States geographically far apart, we should be cognizant that human values and our common human spirit, which proclaim the dignity and exalted worth of all human beings, have brought our two great nations of Iran and the United States closer together.

Both our nations are God-fearing, truth-loving and justice-seeking, and both seek dignity, respect and perfection.
Both greatly value and readily embrace the promotion of human ideals such as compassion, empathy, respect for the rights of human beings, securing justice and equity, and defending the innocent and the weak against oppressors and bullies.

We are all inclined towards the good, and towards extending a helping hand to one another, particularly to those in need.

We all deplore injustice, the trampling of peoples' rights and the intimidation and humiliation of human beings.
We all detest darkness, deceit, lies and distortion, and seek and admire salvation, enlightenment, sincerity and honesty.

The pure human essence of the two great nations of Iran and the United States testify to the veracity of these statements.

Noble Americans,
Our nation has always extended its hand of friendship to all other nations of the world.
Hundreds of thousands of my Iranian compatriots are living amongst you in friendship and peace, and are contributing positively to your society. Our people have been in contact with you over the past many years and have maintained these contacts despite the unnecessary restrictions of US authorities.

As mentioned, we have common concerns, face similar challenges, and are pained by the sufferings and afflictions in the world.

We, like you, are aggrieved by the ever-worsening pain and misery of the Palestinian people. Persistent aggressions by the Zionists are making life more and more difficult for the rightful owners of the land of Palestine. In broad day-light, in front of cameras and before the eyes of the world, they are bombarding innocent defenseless civilians, bulldozing houses, firing machine guns at students in the streets and alleys, and subjecting their families to endless grief.

No day goes by without a new crime.
Palestinian mothers, just like Iranian and American mothers, love their children, and are painfully bereaved by the imprisonment, wounding and murder of their children. What mother wouldn't?

For 60 years, the Zionist regime has driven millions of the inhabitants of Palestine out of their homes. Many of these refugees have died in the Diaspora and in refugee camps. Their children have spent their youth in these camps and are aging while still in the hope of returning to homeland.

You know well that the US administration has persistently provided blind and blanket support to the Zionist regime, has emboldened it to continue its crimes, and has prevented the UN Security Council from condemning it.
Who can deny such broken promises and grave injustices towards humanity by the US administration?

Governments are there to serve their own people. No people wants to side with or support any oppressors. But regrettably, the US administration disregards even its own public opinion and remains in the forefront of supporting the trampling of the rights of the Palestinian people.
Let's take a look at Iraq. Since the commencement of the US military presence in Iraq, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been killed, maimed or displaced. Terrorism in Iraq has grown exponentially. With the presence of the US military in Iraq, nothing has been done to rebuild the ruins, to restore the infrastructure or to alleviate poverty. The US Government used the pretext of the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but later it became clear that that was just a lie and a deception.

Although Saddam was overthrown and people are happy about his departure, the pain and suffering of the Iraqi people has persisted and has even been aggravated.
In Iraq, about one hundred and fifty thousand American soldiers, separated from their families and loved ones, are operating under the command of the current US administration. A substantial number of them have been killed or wounded and their presence in Iraq has tarnished the image of the American people and government.

Their mothers and relatives have, on numerous occasions, displayed their discontent with the presence of their sons and daughters in a land thousands of miles away from US shores. American soldiers often wonder why they have been sent to Iraq.

I consider it extremely unlikely that you, the American people, consent to the billions of dollars of annual expenditure from your treasury for this military misadventure.

Noble Americans,
You have heard that the US administration is kidnapping its presumed opponents from across the globe and arbitrarily holding them without trial or any international supervision in horrendous prisons that it has established in various parts of the world. God knows who these detainees actually are, and what terrible fate awaits them.

You have certainly heard the sad stories of the Guantanamo and Abu-Ghraib prisons. The US administration attempts to justify them through its proclaimed "war on terror." But every one knows that such behavior, in fact, offends global public opinion, exacerbates resentment and thereby spreads terrorism, and tarnishes the US image and its credibility among nations.

The US administration's illegal and immoral behavior is not even confined to outside its borders. You are witnessing daily that under the pretext of "the war on terror," civil liberties in the United States are being increasingly curtailed. Even the privacy of individuals is fast losing its meaning. Judicial due process and fundamental rights are trampled upon. Private phones are tapped, suspects are arbitrarily arrested, sometimes beaten in the streets, or even shot to death.

I have no doubt that the American people do not approve of this behavior and indeed deplore it.

The US administration does not accept accountability before any organization, institution or council. The US administration has undermined the credibility of international organizations, particularly the United Nations and its Security Council. But, I do not intend to address all the challenges and calamities in this message.
The legitimacy, power and influence of a government do not emanate from its arsenals of tanks, fighter aircrafts, missiles or nuclear weapons. Legitimacy and influence reside in sound logic, quest for justice and compassion and empathy for all humanity. The global position of the United States is in all probability weakened because the administration has continued to resort to force, to conceal the truth, and to mislead the American people about its policies and practices.

Undoubtedly, the American people are not satisfied with this behavior and they showed their discontent in the recent elections. I hope that in the wake of the mid-term elections, the administration of President Bush will have heard and will heed the message of the American people.
My questions are the following:

Is there not a better approach to governance?

Is it not possible to put wealth and power in the service of peace, stability, prosperity and the happiness of all peoples through a commitment to justice and respect for the rights of all nations, instead of aggression and war?
We all condemn terrorism, because its victims are the innocent.

But, can terrorism be contained and eradicated through war, destruction and the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocents?

If that were possible, then why has the problem not been resolved?

The sad experience of invading Iraq is before us all.
What has blind support for the Zionists by the US administration brought for the American people? It is regrettable that for the US administration, the interests of these occupiers supersedes the interests of the American people and of the other nations of the world.
What have the Zionists done for the American people that the US administration considers itself obliged to blindly support these infamous aggressors? Is it not because they have imposed themselves on a substantial portion of the banking, financial, cultural and media sectors?

I recommend that in a demonstration of respect for the American people and for humanity, the right of Palestinians to live in their own homeland should be recognized so that millions of Palestinian refugees can return to their homes and the future of all of Palestine and its form of government be determined in a referendum. This will benefit everyone.

Now that Iraq has a Constitution and an independent Assembly and Government, would it not be more beneficial to bring the US officers and soldiers home, and to spend the astronomical US military expenditures in Iraq for the welfare and prosperity of the American people? As you know very well, many victims of Katrina continue to suffer, and countless Americans continue to live in poverty and homelessness.

I'd also like to say a word to the winners of the recent elections in the US:

The United States has had many administrations; some who have left a positive legacy, and others that are neither remembered fondly by the American people nor by other nations.

Now that you control an important branch of the US Government, you will also be held to account by the people and by history.

If the US Government meets the current domestic and external challenges with an approach based on truth and Justice, it can remedy some of the past afflictions and alleviate some of the global resentment and hatred of America. But if the approach remains the same, it would not be unexpected that the American people would similarly reject the new electoral winners, although the recent elections, rather than reflecting a victory, in reality point to the failure of the current administration's policies. These issues had been extensively dealt with in my letter to President Bush earlier this year.

To sum up:

It is possible to govern based on an approach that is distinctly different from one of coercion, force and injustice.

It is possible to sincerely serve and promote common human values, and honesty and compassion.

It is possible to provide welfare and prosperity without tension, threats, imposition or war.

It is possible to lead the world towards the aspired perfection by adhering to unity, monotheism, morality and spirituality and drawing upon the teachings of the Divine Prophets.

Then, the American people, who are God-fearing and followers of Divine religions, will overcome every difficulty.

What I stated represents some of my anxieties and concerns.
I am confident that you, the American people, will play an instrumental role in the establishment of justice and spirituality throughout the world. The promises of the Almighty and His prophets will certainly be realized, Justice and Truth will prevail and all nations will live a true life in a climate replete with love, compassion and fraternity.

The US governing establishment, the authorities and the powerful should not choose irreversible paths. As all prophets have taught us, injustice and transgression will eventually bring about decline and demise. Today, the path of return to faith and spirituality is open and unimpeded.
We should all heed the Divine Word of the Holy Qur'an:
"But those who repent, have faith and do good may receive Salvation. Your Lord, alone, creates and chooses as He will, and others have no part in His choice; Glorified is God and Exalted above any partners they ascribe to Him." (28:67-68)

I pray to the Almighty to bless the Iranian and American nations and indeed all nations of the world with dignity and success.

--Mahmoud Ahmadinejad President of the Islamic Republic of Iran 29 November 2006
