From Iran's semi-official Tasnim News Agency, September 29:
IRGC Presents Iran’s Logic in Letter to US People
(IRGC) spokesman said Iran’s letter to the American people is intended to go beyond media publicity and provide a direct and genuine explanation of Iran’s positions and reasoning.
In comments at a press conference on Tuesday, Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi explained the purpose behind sending the letter to the people of the United States.
“Our goal in sending the letter to the American people goes beyond media publicity and is aimed at creating familiarity with Iran’s logic,” Mohebbi said.
He stressed that the initiative is not a short-term publicity campaign, saying that if the purpose had merely been a media operation, Iran could have created a temporary appearance of impact through several posts on social media or other media activities.
“Instead, we decided to speak to the American people in an honest, logical and genuine manner,” the IRGC spokesman said.
Iran believes that many Americans might not be sufficiently familiar with Iran’s logic and positions, and therefore the letter is intended to provide a platform for greater understanding, he added.
The spokesman noted that, unlike the US, which has hundreds of television and radio networks enabling it to communicate with other nations around the clock, Iran faces limitations in terms of having extensive media outlets operating inside US territory.
“For this reason, choosing a letter as a tool to convey our message directly and clearly is a solution that was selected based on the realities that exist,” he said.
Mohebbi said Iran has asked the American people to read the letter at least once and expresses readiness to correspond with those who wish to respond, offer criticism or request further explanations. He added that an official address for such correspondence would also be provided to the media....

Also at Tasnim: "Iran Urges France to Respect Human Rights in Handling Protests"A designated terrorist organization has written to American voters. Iran's Revolutionary Guards sent a 26-page letter to US scholars, students and media describing a government in decline and telling Americans they have the power to change it at the ballot box in November.
The letter, published by Iranian media on Tuesday in English and Persian, presents the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a force for the people, portrays Iran as victorious and the United States as a power in decline, and returns repeatedly to a single instruction: that Americans turn against the politicians they elected.
The Guards and their Basij volunteer force led the suppression of nationwide protests in January, in which security forces killed tens of thousands of people in two days. A UN fact-finding mission said this month that the crackdown involved crimes against humanity.
Signs of 'decline'
"Tyranny, an excessive tendency to behave violently and murderously, relying on and promoting falsehoods, giving precedence to the vulgar elements of society over the wiser elements in occupying positions of power, and an inordinate preoccupation with inessential matters at the expense of society's essential affairs" are the signs of a state in decline, the letter says.
"The United States government today exemplifies all of these flaws."....
...The letter also explains the slogan "Death to America." "The true meaning of 'Death to America' is 'Death to the crimes perpetrated by the American elite,'" it says. "It is, in a word, not an expression of ill will toward the American people."
The slogan is chanted at state-organized rallies and Friday prayers across Iran and appears on murals maintained by the state in central Tehran, including on the walls of the former US embassy....

From Cuba Socialista:
Important meetings take place at such a frantic pace and Bush flies around and speaks at such speed that it is almost impossible to keep track. En route to Sydney, he stopped over for a few hours in Iraq, no less. I can’t say whether this happened two or three days ago, because when it's Thursday in Sydney and the sun is almost at high noon over the land, it’s still Wednesday in Havana with its fresh night air. The globalized planet Earth changes and transforms our concepts. Only one reality remains unchanged: the Empire’s network of air, sea, land and space military bases, increasingly more powerful and at the same time more vulnerable.
We don’t need to go into any special efforts of persuasion. Let us allow the U.S. news agency to speak for itlself.
... However, this is not the only news coming from the unstoppable deluge of Bush’s words.
... This reflection is getting very long and I have to conclude.
