Ahmadinejad’s Letter to America - Arrogance or Delusion?

I’ve been chewing on whether to write about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s letter to us ‘Noble Americans,’ and have decided I can’t just let it pass.
It’s unbelievable that the dictator could be so presumptuous as to think the American people would listen to him after all the anti-American rhetoric and calls for ‘death to America,’ but then we’ve already had examples of his thinking and manner, as demonstrated in his interview with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes, and his speech at the UN last September, so we shouldn’t be surprised.
But, let me raise just a few questions about what he wrote…
1. First of all, who is Ahmadinejad, the self-appointed ‘John the Baptist’, talking about in the opening of his letter to Americans leading into the Christmas season? Not Jesus.
“O, Almighty God, bestow upon humanity the perfect human being promised to all by You, and make us among his followers.”
2. Did he really think that the American people would agree with him against our government, no matter where we stand on the war in Iraq?
"Noble Americans, Were we not faced with the activities of the US administration in this part of the world and the negative ramifications of those activities on the daily lives of our peoples, coupled with the many wars and calamities caused by the US administration…Were the American people not God-fearing, truth-loving, and justice-seeking, while the US administration actively conceals the truth and impedes any objective portrayal of current realities; Then, there would have been little urgency to have a dialogue with you.”
