KJ, can you read this? Does it really say he wrote to Chirac or is it just a letter to a foundation?

The American president has just sent a "very friendly" letter to Jacques Chirac, according to the latter. "I am sure that over these four years, we can work together in a spirit of peace and friendship to create a safer world," wrote the successor of George Bush to the predecessor of Nicholas Sarkozy. By using the word "peace," Obama implicitly pays tribute to the activity of the former French president, who was opposed to the Iraq war. In a vote in Congress when he was a senator, the future US president opposed American intervention.
