I posted, before, that we need to take Ahmedinijad’s Letter more seriously. Here, Hugh takes on the Council of Foreign Relaions, which has analyzed the subtleties of the letter, and why we should take it far more seriously.  On Wednesday in New York at a gathering of media people at the Museum of Television and Radio and yesterday at the Bradley Foundation’s 2006 Symposium I brought up President Ahmadinejad’s letter to President Bush, translated and posted at the Council of Foreign Relations web site. The Council’s Robert McMahon says “[t]he rambling letter repeated criticisms of U.S. policy and of Israel, but many believe that more important is the fact of the correspondence itself—the first by an Iranian leader to a U.S. president in nearly twenty-seven years.” Moby posted the letter in its entirety, noting that “apart from his anti-zionism he makes a lot of very salient and relevant points,” and that “it’s a long read, but it’s worth taking 10 minutes to read what really is a very remarkable document.” Moby adds that “my posting this letter here does not mean that i’m endorsing it, although he does make a lot of great points.” [...] [...] From Hugh Hewitt.

And A-listers, who are like, if not actually, syndicated columnists? “One-third of the traffic WashPost gets comes through blogs, Brady says. Blog that.”

It is both funny and sobering. That is information that sticks in my mind rather than just a bland recitation of facts.
