President Bush Gets New Pen Pal; Iran Tries Some of Their Own Strategery
Topic: World News

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has become President Bush's latest pen pal, writing to see if the two can't work something out diplomatically with Iran's nuclear proliferation. However, the letter did not come regular mail, but rather had to be sent through the American Swiss embassy, where Iran still has a diplomatic contact. But National Intelligence Director John Negroponte has a different opinion as to why Ahmadinejad is sending this letter.

“Given the fact that the issue of Iran is before the United Nations at this time, certainly one of the hypotheses you’d have to examine is whether and in what way the timing of the dispatch of that letter is connected with trying in some manner to influence the debate before the Security Council,” Negroponte told reporters.

Uh oh.

Maybe Tehran screwed up. We think their bluff was called, but the problem is that despite the U.N.'s anger over this and the USA thinking about possible nuking the shit out of their little desert country, we still can't do anything because of Russia and China, who are both in Iran's corner.

Solution? Cold War 2.
