Obama's Expected Reply to Ahmadinejad

If the president elect Obama of the United States is to live up to the expectations of people, this is the kind of reply he should give to Mr. Ahmadinejad of Iran:

Dear Mr. ahmadinejad,
I would like to express my gratitude to your sending of a letter of congratulations, and your references to a number of points that if considered with sincerity and good will by responsible personalities, they would certainly take a path on which, god willing, could find healing to the economical and psychological wounds incurred by your administration and that of my predecessors. But as a popular Persian saying goes, “One should first prove his own brotherhood.”
You have rightly stated that the opportunities bestowed to us are short- lived. Now, with your years of presidency passing you by, you can look back and see whether you have done your nation services or harm. On passing judgment over this matter we certainly have differences of opinions. Of course, it is quite natural that everyone`s perceptions of his own deeds may sharply differ from that of others, and judgment on such issues should be left to independent bodies. It is also very likely that governments take the wrong direction while believing that they are going the right way. What is essentially important is that people who are supposed to be holding the real power, have the opportunities and means of changing their rulers as soon as they realize the policies adopted by their governments are not to their interests. And this is what all elections are about and this is what has put me in a position that you congratulated me on.
For almost two years during my election campaigns, taking advantage of all possible means of communications, I have been trying hard to contact every American to explain my views about matters that concern them and the world. At the same time my many opponents have also been doing so, taking every opportunity to unveil slightest weaknesses any one could have thought of in me. This gave the Americans the chance to judge on me and the other candidates with clear mind and knowledge. It just happened on this election that the people of the world too had their eyes on it. Now I am very much obliged and greatly appreciate the trust this nation has placed in me. No doubt people will continue to closely observe my deeds in future and judge me on them.
One of the most important issues that I am supposed to deal with is the long-existing problems between Iran and America. You are certainly aware that this had also been an important issue raised by the other candidates, usually in my disadvantage, occasionally backed by hints coming out of your administration.
Now that you expect me to deal with this problem, trying to heal the wounds of the past, I would like to announce that this is not an issue that I could solve single-handedly. What is most essential in this respect is to build mutual trust between the two nations and the parties concerned. What my predecessors have been emphasizing is that there does not exist a way that you can be trusted. This has its basis in our ideology that only when governments act upon the true will of their nations, can we almost be certain that no misconduct is probable from them. Thus we do not trust governments that are not represented by people and that their people are not able to cast their opinions in an internationally acceptable free environment, unless our intelligent sources have adequate access to their activities of vital international concerns. Of course, I would not like to get involved in such arrangements as I know it is against the will of your people. Therefore, I suggest that first of all you should bring about the type of changes in your system of government that can gain public confidence and establish a system based on the true will of your people. It is only then that I can assure you of a world-wide support and the kind of relationship that your people and the rest of the world deserve.
I would like to clarify the fact that according to international standards your government is not the true representative of people of Iran for the simple reason that the present electoral procedures in Iran are more of an appointment by authorities than an election by people. A clear example is the present situation where with just a few months left to the end of your term in office, Iranians do not know who if any the candidates will be. And even among the people from within the system willing for nomination no one will know, until very near to election time, whether their so called competency will be approved by none elected authorities. Your leader has just recently prevented even internal factions in the government of talking about election as being too early. Moreover, with the present circumstances for the public media and the absence of any true opposition party there is virtually no hope for a fair and free election.
Another important issue that stands in the way of mutual trust is that ever since the revolution in Iran there have been and still are political assassinations the sponsors of which have never been introduced. the families of victims have never been satisfied with court procedures and as no effort is made to bring such criminals to justice naturally the government itself is to be blamed. Now if you were to judge, would you claim that people of Iran can elect their real representatives? This is why the people of the world cannot put their trust in you. As a result your claims to be the followers of path of God and teachings of divine prophets are also disputed.
I am looking forward to conferring with the real representative of good people of Iran.

a U.S. president that can become a U.N. president

there are moments in the history of mankind that provide opportunities for great changes and big jumps towards perfection of life . any substantial change necessary for launching social changes and cultural revolutions requires peoples` full participation in the process of change . Gaining public support for such changes is not always an easy task for men of culture and politics .
The recent American election in which Americans shouted their voices for change and elected a president who has promised to do so has turned out to be quite different from any other election . Had Americans voted differently , the resulting atmosphere would have been quite different , and would`ve heightened the prevailing tension among feelings of men and women of not only America but those of the worlds` population .
It just happened that in this election it was not only the Americans who were casting their votes but the whole world had their eyes and minds on it .Had people of the world been asked to vote in this election, they would have undoubtedly voted for Barak Obama with even more overwhelming majority . for the people of the world had felt the negativity of existing American policies more deeply than the Americans themselves .
although there has long been a perception that American politics is set beyond the public eyes, still this election has brought about a lot of hope among all nations, and as it was heard to be said it was the death of apathy .this is a rare opportunity that if seized and taken responsibly by politicians and men of word and culture in America and the rest of the world, it carries the momentum that can reform the world relationships and unite the nations towards managing the world in such a way that benefits humanity in all its aspects .
Undoubtedly those who wrongly believe that their interests lie in the war of ideologies and military confrontations will try to change this mood .But if wise people of America and the world value this opportunity and initiate struggles for world unity , there is the possibility that the above mentioned claim come to reality . and in future the whole nations of the world go to the poles together and elect their bests
