"The letter from President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made only an oblique reference to
Iran's nuclear intentions, asking why "any technological and scientific
achievement reached in the Middle East region is translated into and portrayed
as a threat to the Zionist regime."

Otherwise, it lambasted Bush for his handling of the Sept. 11 terror attacks,
accused the media of spreading lies about the Iraq war and railed against the
United States for its support of Israel. It questioned whether the world would
be a different place if the money spent on Iraq had been spent to fight poverty.

"Would not your administration's political and economic standing have been
stronger?" the letter said. "And I am most sorry to say, would there have been
an ever-increasing global hatred of the American government?"
