The Foreign Minister of Iran has asked for suggestions on how to improve relations between our countries, if America is serious about improving our relations.

I can say that America is very serious about renewing our old friendship with Iran.

I believe that any additional help Iran could offer in helping to bring a just solution to the Palestine/Israel problem would be greatly appreciated. America cannot order the country of Palestine into existence, because that would be disrespectful of the sacrifices the Palestinian people have made in their struggle for independence. As a sign of respect, America wants Palestine to be formed the same way that America was formed after we stopped fighting.

A cease-fire is absolutely essential so that the Arab League peace plan may be discussed. Hopefully this will lead to an agreement that all parties view as just and fair. It will also help to speed our hoped for improvement of relations with Lebanon.

When a just and fair agreement for Palestinians is reached according to the will of God, I’m confident that Sheikh Yassin, and all of the Palestinian fighters will then call for an end to Jihad.

When all the Palestinian fighters have called for an end to Jihad, I will know that they have seen the evidence of God’s will, and achieved justice according to the will of God. This will be one of the happiest days of my life.

IMO, intent is what separates Saddam from all other leaders in the region, and in the world. Saddam’s intent is for him to conquer and to have absolute power over all of his neighbors.

Saddam is not a King, yet he builds palaces like a King. All true Kings and Princes are born and raised with the idea that the welfare and happiness of the Kingdom’s people is of paramount importance. Saddam proves that he does not care about the people by violating 17 U.N. resolutions, which lead to economic sanctions and hardship for Iraqi’s. He does not suffer in his palaces, so he does not care.

Saddam is not a cleric. The paramount concern of a cleric is the welfare and happiness of the people according to the will of God. By invading other Islamic countries, Saddam proves he does not care about the Qur’an, because of his unjust attempts at conquest.

Saddam is not a President. A President does not murder his political rivals in order to gain and maintain his personal power, at the expense of the welfare of an entire nation. Saddam loss of the Gulf War to proves he is a failed leader. He has proven that he is now unworthy of further mercy IMO.

I am certain that when all Arabs and Persians have been fully informed, and have personally seen the evil deeds that Saddam has committed and ordered, they will be outraged if any further mercy is shown to this evil snake who has been living in their midst for so long.

The reason I am absolutely certain, is because I know there is much wisdom among all Arabs and Persians.
