From the Office of Mr. Mir Hossein Mousavi
To the President of the USA, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama:
Dear Mr. President,
In the name of the Iranian people, we want you to know that when you recently made the statement "Achmadinejad or Mousavi? Two of a kind," we consider this as a grave and deep insult, not just to Mr. Mousavi but especially against the judgment of the Iranian people, against our moral conviction and intelligence, especially those of the young generation that comprises a population of 31 million.
It is a specially grave insult for those who are now fighting for democracy and freedom, and an unwarranted gift and even praise for Mr. Khamenei, whose security forces are now killing peaceful Iranians in the streets of every major city in the country.
Your statement misled the people of the world. It was no doubt inspired by your hope for dialogue with this regime, but you cannot possibly believe in promises from a regime that lies to its own people and then kills them when they demand the promises be kept.
By such statements, your administration and you discourage the Iranian people, who believe and trust in the values of democracy and freedom. We are pleased to see that you have condemned the regime's murderous violence, and we look forward to stronger support for the rightful struggle of the Iranian people against the actions of a regime that is your enemy as well as ours.
This is actually a good put-down of Obama and his “straddle the line” stupid statements. Obama seems to think that if he can just keep things as they are, he might be able to sweet-talk the Iranian leadership. His immaturity in foreign affairs will continue to be “Carteresk”.
Don't count on crap from this halfbreed Kenyan, who is a soulbrother to the regime you speak of.
thank goodness he narrowed it down for us later in the letter.
Even if he had been installed as President the people know the Mullahs are really in charge. Everything is controlled and rigged in Iran and the people are fed up with it.
They see this as something that they can point to and say it, the protests, were not rigged or controlled by the Mullahs. In the past the massive ‘anti-US’ marches were organized by the state and attendence was not voluntary.
The people are tired of it all. They want something real.

For every minute Bush spent reading to kids after hearing about 9/11, Obama has had 1 full day to deal w #Iran
(and what did he do? He went out for face time with the press for ice cream!)
