You've got mail: Dinnerjacket writes another letter

Credit where credit is due: the man is reviving the lost art of personal correspondence in an electronic age...
Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that he sent a message to Saudi King Abdullah proposing that they cooperate in helping stabilize Iraq. "We, Saudis and other neighboring countries can help the Iraqi people to take the lead to consolidate their government's capability to stabilize and maintain security in their country," Ahmadinejad told the Saudi-owned satellite television channel. "I sent a message to King Abdullah in this regard and the answer, generally, was positive," the Iranian president said in the interview taped Saturday in Venezuela, one of the countries on his Latin American tour. Iran's top national security official, Ali Larijani, had delivered a message to Abdullah, the official Saudi Press Agency reported Sunday, but did not reveal its contents.

#5  Did he ask Abdullah to convert to Islam?

#4  King Abdullah's message would be more like:
I'm gonna tell the Americans and Israelis to watch out for prevailing winds before they bomb the shit out of Iran. I'll denounce them afterwards of course, but you'll still be dead and your nation crippled you crazy shiite bastard.

#3  King Abdullah's message would be more like:

Dude, how much is this going to set me back? Cause if it's over $300,000 I'm going to have to bow out. The camel trade has been terribly poor this year, weevils got into the dates and don't even get me started on oil. Besides that my 767 blew out a frickin turbine fan on the way to Dubai and that's really gonna put me back some bucks. Combine that with the 2Mil I lost at the Blackjack tables and I can't afford to pay attention.

#2  King Abdullah with message in hand:

WTF is this babble about? This guy is crazier 'n shiite. He sez, "let's divide up Iraq. I get the oilfields and you get the western desert." Send a message back, Mahmoud, saying, "Yeah, right." Bet you a billion that he will say that my answer, generally, was positive.
