"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about." ~ Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

President Ahmadinejad, may we call this "field" the internet? I appreciate your gestures of peace towards America. Yes, I agree that there is a need for world powers to review their outlook. If you wish, I'll come to Iran and speak to you myself. I wish for my America to be a good neighbor to Iran.

Salam.

My beloved America, please become friends with Iran! If America stops being such a threat to Iran, as America historically has been, then maybe America will have a chance to be good neighbors to Iran in the future.

Of course, Iran has acted in self-defense against America. That's why we must look at our America through Iran's point of view! Iran sees us as the bad guys. Any idea why? Our national security depends on answering that honestly, with Iran's help, then creating a peaceful solution.
