Rice dismisses letter as Ahmadinejad still waiting for US response

11 May, 2006

The letter to US President George Bush carries the Iranian nation's views and comments on international issues as well as suggestions for resolving the many problems facing humanity, said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters at Tehran Mehrabad International Airport before his departure for Indonesia to attend a meeting of the D-8 (Group of 8 developing Muslim states), the president said that Islamic courtesy prevented him from revealing its contents. "We will wait to see what would be the reaction of the other side and then we will make the decision," Ahmadinejad said, according to IRNA. "Fortunately, we have no problem when it comes to making decisions," Ahamdinejad added.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi on Tuesday said that the letter did not aim to influence the country's nuclear issue.

According to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the letter insisted that democracy had failed worldwide and lamented "an ever-increasing global hatred" of the U.S. government. "This letter is not the place that one would find an opening to engage on the nuclear issue or anything of the sort," Rice said in an interview with The Associated Press. "It isn't addressing the issues that we're dealing with in a concrete way."
