Ahmadinejad Letter to Bush Probed as Iran-U.S. Ties Strained
Iran's president sent a letter to President Bush invoking religious figures and appealing for soul-searching on Middle East policy. White House dismissed the missive as irrelevant with no concrete proposals while Iran said it offered a path to humanity’s problems. The letter was circulated to the five permanent Security Council members as negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program continued. Ahmadinejad called it the nation’s words and opinions aimed at a way out of problems facing humanity.
