An Open Letter To the Government and People of Iran

DEAR FRIENDS; As an American, permit me to apologize for the rudeness of many of my fellow Americans towards you. As neither a Christian nor a Moslem, I sometimes wonder why so few people emphasize the common core of the two religions. Let's jsut say that we all worship the same God, or that we all worship a different god, and leave it at that. Religious strife is uttterly unnecessary, juvenile, unworthy of our better, enlightened selves. Surely we can all agree that we want a world without atomic weapons. Those things aren't safe no matter who owns and controls them. Maybe the United States intends to either talk or coerce everyone else out of their nuclear weapons, and then get rid of their own. Who knows? Please understand, the forty six American Senators who sent you that letter advising you to ignore President Obama because anything he does will be overturned later - they were lying. The American people will respect and uphold your agreement with President Obama. The reason the very American Senator Tom Cotton is harassing you is that he is obviously insane, which you can plainly see. In other words, he is an extreme religious and political conservative, which is dangerous for anyone. Extreme religious and political conservatism is dangerous because it is fanatically devoted to resisting change. Change is necessary for progress, and surely we can all agree that much progress is needed to eliminate povetry, war, and disease everywhere. May the forces of change in America and Iraq unite to create a better world for all. Sincerely, T.L. Reconciler
