Bongs? What Bongs?
Those wacky AP writers!
Iranian President Lunatic Brinksman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sends Dubya a letter stating categorically, among other things, that Western democracy and liberalism have failed and how does the AP characterize the story? "Letter Shows Iran's President Seeking Bond."
Awwww....How warm and comforting. Although from what I can gather of Ahmadinejad's "What Would Jesus Do" rhetoric, the "bond" he envisions involves a theocratic seizure of the American government coupled with a slaughter of all dissidents including, say, AP headline writers.
Oh, and when Condi said that the letter didn't have anything to do with confronting Iran's blooming nuclear program? "Experts: U.S. Hasty in Brushoff of Iran."
Really and truly! We should be listening to this man! Dialoguing with him! Coming to a reasonable common ground! By the way, how does one say "Munich" in Farsi?
UPDATE: Of course, had the Administration responded positively to the letter, I'm sure the headline would read: "BUSH EMBRACES CALL FOR THEOCRACY."
They'll do it every time.

I note news of this angst comes the same day the local paper printed a story on the selection of Cuba, China, and Saudi Arabia to the U.N. Human Rights Council.
