Ahmadinejad's Message to "Noble Americans"

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, suspected hostage-taker in the 1979 444-day seige of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, and crackpot Holocaust-denier, is feeling the holiday spirit.

Iran's leader "detest[s] darkness, deceit, lies and distortion" and feels, despite the "unnecessary restrictions of U.S. authorities" and "negative ramifications" of U.S. "activities" in his part of the world, that ordinary Americans are "God-fearing, truth-loving, and justice-seeking." He is silent on the nuclear buildup near Tehran. "We all condemn terrorism," he writes, but there's no discussion of Iran's support for Hezbollah. Maybe he'll take up those topics next year.
