hmmm sounds like good-cop, bad-cop. sheesha-induced stream-of-consciousness letter from Ahmadinejad (mostly for domestic consumption) followed by a rational ‘western’ coherent and measured one from Rohani (for the west).
I really think Bush ought to reply in his fifth-grade grammar with no help from advisors, except Dan Quayle to help catch spelling errors. They could get 24 crayola pencils for just $5.49:
