You
can
find the letter from Iran president Ahmadi-Najad to USA president
George W. Bush in an appendix. I
have not yet found time to translatte it into
French.
Meanwhile,
the French visitors to this blog cannot find a material better than the
following comment by brother Bernard L. from Brittany in explanation of
the letter:
"[...] Just as that man (the Iranian president) says to another man
(the American president) :
"In
the charter of media, the correct circulation of news as well as the
fair report of events are necessary principles. If we let the truth be
lost, how can this be reconciled with the [moral and spiritual] values
once preached by Jesus Christ?
"Thank you, brother michel, for rehabilitating every
man in
his or her prophetic nature.
"[Through his letter Ahmadi-Najad] speaks to "the people of the book",
[which is what the Quran calls Jews, Christians and Muslims,] all of
them spurred on by a single word,
just as a prophet speaks and put them all at the same level. He himself
addresses all of us, even if he himself has reached a high level and is
having special relationship [with the world] nowadays.
"Let's not
censor, let's not temper with the "message" of a man as we keep doing
with a lot of messages. Let's raise it to the level of the Word, which
it is intended to help achieve (Rev of Ares 35/5-6).
"I
am grateful to you, because you let us know this message purified of
all the distortions, that the media everywhere on earth have subjected
it to. Let's become media ourselves, media of the light and of
goodness. Let's speak on behalf of the truth and good, let's speak with
strength and self-confidence.
"In the name of the Father thank you for this piece of information.
Let's convey it!"
As it suspects Iran of making a nuclear bomb, which may be just a
pretext like the "weapons of mass destruction" that legitimized the
attack against Iraq, the USA has demonized Ahmadi-Najad for a while. On
the other hand, it seems altogether implausible that a pious Muslim
uses the Quran as an excuse to have a go at a diplomatic arrangement.
Ahmadi-Najad's letter does not sort out the problem between Iran and
the USA, but it opens that man's heart in front of our eyes. Perhaps
George W. Bush is going to open his own heart by his reply. What is at
stake is of paramount importance. A world war may be at stake.
It's by no means to no purpose that The Revelation of Ares
recommends, You
(Christian man) shall ally yourself fraternally with the synagogues'
assemblies (Jews) and with the assemblies of those who submit to God
(Muslims) (35/11). The Father was aware, in 1974 when he gave the
world this Word, that the situation would appear to be dangerously
tense between Christians and Muslims some thirty years later.

To my knowledge the text of the Iranian President Ahmadi Najad, has not
been published in the mainstream press... at least not here in
New
Zealand. He offers Bush of the USA an enormous opportunity; the
ability to resolve the current friction between the US and Iran, based
on the tenets of the respective faiths or religions followed by the two
leaders, Christianity and Islam.
Ahmadi Najad also makes pertinent points in his analysis of the
Israeli/Palestinian divide and the more recent Iraqi "adventure", which
only yesterday I heard the figure $400 billion being the cost thus far,
to the USA treasury. Ahmadi Najad's appeal to the
Christianity of
Bush, may well fall on "Ahrimanic" Deaf ears, but we must live in hope.
None of our well-being is served by another "adventure" in Iran.
After
all which countries have ensured the rapid depletion of cheap oil by
avaristic consumption of a finite resource, certainly not the
Iranians. Nevertheless it appears to some in the US, a reasonable
propostion to contemplate the shattering of another country's peace, on
spurious grounds.
The USA is increasingly out of step with reasonable opinion. It
is not
OK to wage war on others, it is not OK to force your genetically
engineered produce on others, it is not OK to force your global
hegemony down the rest of the world's throat. The US accounts for
5% or
6% of the worlds population, but vetos most progressive moves at the
United Nations.
Are we awake or asleep? Claim Planet Earth for people not
profit...
Christ's revelation, whether at Ares or Palestine, is one of peace and
hope wrought through personal responsibility. It is sadly not
evident
amongst the Earth's crop of leadership.
In hope of positive change.

No wonder you have not yet translated it, it is SOME letter!
I see it is an 'unofficial' translation? It seems to be on
some rather 'official' stationery?
Once again, thank you for broadcasting this!
The peace of the Lord be always with you!

I
venture to reply that,
according to a friend and for what it's worth, the original letter must
have been written (and sent to President George W. Bush) in Persian or
Farsi. The material in this blog is a translation into English
presumably made at the Iranian embassy, Washington D.C., and intended
to go with the original, hence "unofficial translation", because in
diplomacy only dispatches, letters or notes in the language of the
country of origin are regarded as "official". |

Hi there, greetings to any this touches...Optimism is the retained hope
and knowledge that things can and will get better!
If you share this optimism for the future you might consider passing
this along to your contact list... who knows where it might
impact or
who might eventually recieve it?
To quote Lord Byron:
"But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think."
If the pen is indeed mightier than the sword, isn't it time it
demonstrated its worth. If truth reins supreme over lie and
obfuscation, proper and considered notice must be taken of its message.
After all, at what point do we humans take control of our own lives and
destiny, removing from the "ruling elite" their "self assumed"
right to
poison our lives and our planet?
Whatever faith one follows (or do not) "we are all created
equal." We
share a life here on Earth. Our aspirations for healthy children and
grand-children are universally shared. Our need for security,
love,
common purpose with our fellows, gives rise to the sense of community
we develop and foster.
What passes for security and common purpose at an International level
is profit and power driven! Do we continue to subscribe to this
paranoid and deluded viewpoint that security can be fashioned through
trampling another's right to a humane existence, or fashioned at the
point of a gun.
A global world order, based on rampant exploitation is not what I would
consider as humanity's best effort.
Humanity's best effort arises when we are considerate of the other,
when we join in to create a world which we are proud to pass on to our
children and theirs.
For the cynics, you are not alone...There are many...For a moment get
over it...Think... "if I remain cynical and thus unable to shift, I
bequeathe cynicism to the world. I do not grant humanity the
chance to
develop and evolve in love."
Thoughts as these are common property. I merely bring a particular
fusion together to share with whomever is receptive...for taking the
time to consider I thank you...for passing it on and making it grow,
thank your self...You have been moved to humanity's call for
a saner
existence than is being offered now!
Ever in hope from an eternal optimist,
Greg, Orinoco, New Zealand

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
WHAT
DO YOU THINK?

(CBS) Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sat down with Mike Wallace in Tehran on
Tuesday in a rare, exclusive interview with a Western reporter.
In the wide-ranging interview, the Iranian leader comments on President
Bush's foreign policy, the lack of relations between Iran and the
United States, Hezbollah, Lebanon and Iraq.
Speaking
about President Bush's failure to answer his 18-page letter that
criticized U.S. foreign policy, Ahmadinejad said, "Well, (with the
letter) I wanted to open a window towards the light for the president
so that he can see that one can look on the world through a different
perspective. … We are all free to choose. But please give him this
message, sir: Those who refuse to accept an invitation will not have a
good ending or fate. You see that his approval rating is dropping every
day. Hatred vis-à-vis the president is increasing every day around the
world. For a ruler, this is the worst message that he could receive.
Rulers and heads of government at the end of their office must leave
the office holding their heads high."
On what the
"conducive conditions" would be for Iran to establish relations with
the U.S., the president said, "Well, please look at the makeup of the
American administration, the behavior of the American administration.
See how they talk down to my nation. And this recent resolution passed
about the nuclear issue, look at the wording. They have given us —
presented us with a package which we are studying right now. We even
gave them a date for our response. Ignoring that, they passed a
resolution. They want to build an empire. And they don't want to live
side-by-side in peace with other nations. The American government, sir,
it is very clear to me they have to change their behavior and
everything will be resolved. (George W. Bush) believes that his power
emanates from his nuclear warhead arsenals. The time of the bomb is in
the past, it's behind us. Today is the era of thoughts, dialogue and
cultural exchanges."
The report will be broadcast on 60 Minutes this Sunday
at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
