Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has passed a letter to President Bush through the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, discussing ways to ease the tensions between the two countries.

At least one president involved is trying to be diplomatic.

May 8 (Bloomberg) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who said last month his country had produced nuclear fuel, has written a letter to U.S. President George W. Bush proposing new ways to ease tensions between the two countries.

"In this letter, while analyzing the world situation and pinpointing sources of problems, he has introduced new ways for getting out of the current, fragile international situation," government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham said, according to Iran's state-run Fars News agency. The letter will be made public once Bush receives it, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told the state-run Iranian Students News Agency.

The letter will be handed to the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, Elham said. Switzerland has represented U.S. interests in Iran since the U.S. cut diplomatic ties with the Islamic Republic in 1980. The embassy declined to comment, according to a Swiss diplomat who requested anonymity during a telephone interview.

Even though diplomacy is the way to go in this situation...sorry, President Ahmadinejad, this group wants war, and besides, they can't make money for their special interests friends in times of peace.

I do applaud the effort to extend an olive branch even though I truly believe it will fall on deaf ears.
