from his previous messages, which can be described as saying, "You'd better not complain about our wacko behavior or we won't sell you oil."

Aw geez, I feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Maybe this pro-terrorist Holocaust denier isn't such a bad guy after all.

I wonder if President Bush sent any birthday greetings to the emperor? Probably not. I guess this is why it's news, Ahmadinejad cares. Sort of a softy once you get to know him. You can read his correspondence with the West on his blog:

Yeah, I heard he gave foot massages to all the embassy hostages back in '80.
