It would have been okay if he'd written "What have the Israeli state done for the American people that the US administration considers itself obliged to blindly support these infamous aggressors?" and left out the second, anti-Semitic, sentence.

From Ahmadinejad's open letter to the American people: "What have the Zionists done for the American people that the US administration considers itself obliged to blindly support these infamous aggressors? Is it not because they have imposed themselves on a substantial portion of the banking, financial, cultural and media sectors?" full: http://edition.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/11/29/ahmadinejad.letter/ Right. Of course. I should have known this all along. (Sound of hand slapping the forehead.) The Zionists "imposed themselves on a substantial portion of the banking, financial, cultural and media sectors." That's what those sneaky Zionists know how to do, don't they? Before they came along, the banking and financial sectors were as pure as the driven snow and now they are tainted by the dirty Zionists. I myself distinctly remember reports of Chase Manhattan Bank in NYC standing up consistently for the Muslim masses until the Zionists subverted David Rockefeller and turned him into an agent of their conspiracy by imposing themselves on him, especially that fat, greasy financier Moishe Jewstein. I am not sure what turns my stomach more about Ahmadinejad's occasional letters such as these, the sheer stupidity or the Koran-thumping sanctimoniousness.
