An Iraqi blogger called Alaa has a nice tribute to President Bush: "The bones in the mass graves salute you, Avenger of the Bones," he writes. "Hail, Friend and Ally, Hail, Sheikh of Sheikhs, GWB; Descendant of the Noble Ancient Celt."

I searched and couldn't find a duplicate. "Avenger of the Bones" That is so cool... Here is the entire text of the original:
IN THE NAME OF GOD THE COMPASSIONATE; THE MERCIFUL
Ahalan (= Kinsmen: it means you have come amongst kinsmen)
Wa = and
Sahlan (= Plateau or plain easy land: meaning you have trodden welcoming land)
These are the traditional words of welcome in the Arabic language.
Yes GWB, though the visit was brief, it was very meaningful. We know that you have come, not as the President of an invading nation, but as the friend who wishes to renew commitment to our people, and as long as your intentions are what you have repeatedly said (and we don't doubt your sincerity), the land and the hearts welcome you.
It gives us pain that the visit is so short and that the masses cannot in the present circumstances come out to give you the welcome that you deserve, but the day will come, the day will come (God's Willing). Yes the day will come when the millions will come out to welcome the best friend that the Mesopotamian people have ever had, and he will be amongst the most devoted and allied people that America will ever have.
The bones in the mass graves salute you, Avenger of the Bones.
Hail, Friend and Ally, Hail, Sheikh of Sheikhs, GWB; Descendant of the Noble Ancient Celt.

Why would this Iranian start off with greetings in Arabic? Completely different languages and races.
Sounds to me like there's less here than meets the eye.
To: jjm2111
My take on the 'Noble Ancient Celt' is the European version of the noble savage. But the problem is that, AFAIK, Bush is not Celtic (Irish, Welsh, some Scottish, and Brittany in France)
To: curmudgeonII
Disregard prior post. Like many Americans I [momentarily]confused Irani with Iraqi.

Thankfully we have a president who cares enough about humanity to actually do something rather than snivel and posture.
