Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's letter to George W. Bush

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, then President of Iran, sent a letter to U.S. President George W. Bush on May 8, 2006. This letter was notable because it was the first direct correspondence between leaders of the two nations since the Iranian Revolution in 1979. In the letter, Ahmadinejad addressed a range of topics, including the need for dialogue and cooperation between the two countries, world peace, and the role of faith in governance.
