#1 So Mr. Rafsanjani heads the "Expediency Council." That name says so much about the Iranian government that I, for once, am speechless. They are so hosed.

#2 Well, Mr. Rafsanjani, things are tough all over. We don't want to go to Iraq, and we certainly did not want to get in bed with Pakistan in order to deal with Afghanistan and the Taliban and their guests. But sometimes you have to make a deal with the devil (or Great Satan) in order to prevent a greater evil. Speaking of which, we would sure appreciate if you slow down on the Beshehr reactor, it makes us and our friends nervous. Have a nice day.

#3 heh heh ...nice letter Paul. I would propose that we have Rumsfeld deliver that instead of Powell. That'll twist their turbans
