Obama administration officials have drafted a letter to Iran from the president aimed at unfreezing US-Iranian relations and opening the way for face-to-face talks, the Guardian has learned.
The US state department has been working on drafts of the letter since Obama was elected on 4 November. It would be in reply to a lengthy letter of congratulations sent by the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on 6 November.
Diplomats say Obama's letter would be a symbolic gesture to mark a change in tone from the hostile one adopted by the Bush administration, which portrayed Iran as part of an "axis of evil".

The homosexual lobby in the USA, not in Iran. now re-read my post with that in mind.
BTW how cold is it up in The Green Mountains today?
it’s not very cold at all but then again cold is relative, true? i would say it’s about 10 or 11. we’ve had a bit of a snowfall since yesterday , too.
Today we’re blue skies all the way (imho)
I suppose Obambi just doesn’t recall the 444 reasons why the U.S. is NOT the agressor in the creation or maintenance of the “rift” between us and Iran.
I seriously dislike this idiot.
I love the NE Kingdom and Mad River valley areas.
oh you either have lived here or a skier. i’m a self-transplant
Vermont is really beautiful that I can say
That’s a way to get the blood pumping this morning. What an utter imbecile he is to believe he can have peace with someone who only wants to see us ALL dead.
Yes, i’ve skiied, hiked, leaf-peeped and played golf up there.
I usually used Sugarbush or Stowe as my base when I’ve gone up there.
Stowe ski shop just got held up @gun point last weekend.
what a pity
Dearest Jerkmadinnerjacket.
We are truly sorry for being so mean to you and I will make sure that we are nicer in the future.
If you need any nukes, just call.
Love and Kisses Muslim friend.
Barack Hussein Obamma.
You’ve got an interesting point here... Could this be some sort of slight of hand to get people’s attention from the porkulus bill that he promised wouldn’t contain any pork, but only stimulus?
Because it seems to me that the Pelosi-Reid Debt Bill should make the markets drop from the prospect of higher taxes for nothing.
IMHO, this guy’s a loose cannon, and our ship’s hit a storm.
Who is holding up that placard in your photo? Looks like one of Rev. Wright’s parishioners.
Good job, Yehuda!
What do they have to fear from Pres. Hussein?
But the Iranians are not stupid. They will make a great show of courtesy and conciliation until it suits their purposes to do otherwise.
And we shall hear the great wailing from the White House and Foggy Bottom about how they have been duped.
If they ever realize they've been duped.
Which I have reason to doubt.
I knew Obama would be a bad President.
He's swiftly turning out to be a catastrophically awful President.
LOL. I like these letters. They’re a riot.
I was about to post this:

but it was so similar to yours. But this comment:
“Our fist and arms are open to those (American officials) who use wisdom to compensate for America’s mistakes in the past 30 years. America should take practical steps to respect others’ rights,” Javanfekr said.
“I believe that Mr. Ahmadinejad’s message to congratulate Obama should be considered as an unclenched fist and as a cooperation hand extended to him. Of course we are waiting for Obama to respond to President Ahmadinejad’s letter to prove that he believes in diplomatic respect.”
A lecture on human rights and respect coming from Iran of all places.
They’re going to get together on the “down low” with Larry Sinclair?
Here’s MY diplomatic letter:
Dear President Ahma-whackjob and Friendly Mullahs,
We have outlawed your s##t-smear of a govt. and the bombing begins in 5 minutes. Been nice not knowin’ ya!!
