Olive branch or stick? You decide....

Several days after the lapdog mainstream media 'reported' what it was told to report about the letter from Iranian President Ahmadinejad's 18-page letter to President Bush, they're now spoon-feeding us bits and pieces of it.

Bush and his people have dismissed it as a bunch of philosophizing that didn't really even address the 'nucular' issue. But more recent stories say it was very much an appeal to Bush's own professed Christian beliefs (including Jesus and the prophets, which Islam acknowledges).

I wanted to see the whole thing so I went looking for it via Google. I found it on the Web site of Le Monde, a French newspaper. The Financial Times also excerpted it and put up a link to the full text of the letter. Maybe others have now as well.
