Hugh Hewitt reads "the letter". You've GOT to hear this...
Radioblogger has a link where you can actually hear Hugh Hewitt reading an English translation of President Ahmadinejead's letter to President Bush. Every American should hear this. If you think we can just leave this guy be and all will be well, this recording should be a cold hard slap in the face. You owe it to yourself to listen to this.
You've heard reporting about the letter, you may have even heard snippets read from it. But 99.9% of you haven't or won't take the time to actually read it. But I would ask you to take a few moments and listen to what Mahmoud Ahmadinejead wrote to President Bush, translated into English, read by Hugh Hewitt earlier this afternoon.

You owe it to yourself to know what this guy is saying, and about the looming confrontation we're facing as a nation, and what the next two elections here will say about whether we're going to face up to it or not.
UPDATE: If you didn't see "President Bush's Response" to the letter, you can find it here (if only...).
But on a more serious note, Hillel Fradkin, author of Current Trends in Islamic Ideology, and a senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute dissects this letter in light of Islamic thinking and culture, and finds it to be nothing short of a full declaration of war on the United States.
