Iran nuclear talks near collapse, UK warns

UKUSreal: "You must agree to stop production of nuclear weapons."
IRAN: "We aren't making any nuclear weapons."
UKUSreal: "WE are serious. You MUST suspend your nuclear weapons program."
IRAN: "We don't HAVE a nuclear weapons program. We're building a power station. Your inspectors have already looked at it; it's a power station. See this lamp? You plug it into the wall, turn a switch, and it lights up. We're building the part that goes on the other end of that extension cord, okay? Electricity. Electricity for homes, stores, factories. The oil isn't going to last forever, the way those tanks of yours burn it up."
UKUSreal: "WE reiterate, Iran MUST suspend its nuclear weapons program."
IRAN: "Dear God, why don't they hear me. I know I am speaking; I recognize my voice. READ MY LIPS. WE DON'T HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM. WE DON'T HAVE A 'NOOUKLAR' WEAPONS PROGRAM. You want 110 volt AC, we got that. You want bombs, go to Israel; they got plenty!"
UKUSreal: "WE reiterate, Iran MUST suspend its nuclear weapons program."
IRAN: "Do you guys dry your hair in the microwave oven?"
UKUSreal: "These talks are over. It should be obvious that Iran is not serious about ending its nuclear weapons program. Launch the attack."

(that's UK, USA and Israel)

Ahmadinejad's 2006 letter to Bush

Mr. President,
How much longer can the world tolerate this situation? Where will this trend lead the world to? How long must the people of the world pay for the incorrect decisions of some rulers? How much longer will the specter of insecurity – raised from the stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction -- hunt the people of the world? How much longer will the blood of the innocent men, women and children be spilled on the streets, and people’s houses destroyed over their heads? Are you pleased with the current condition of the world? Do you think present policies can continue? If billions of dollars spent on security, military campaigns and troop movement were instead spent on investment and assistance for poor countries, promotion of health, combating different diseases, education and improvement of mental and physical fitness, assistance to the victims of natural disasters, creation of employment opportunities and production, development projects and poverty alleviation, establishment of peace, mediation between disputing states, and extinguishing the flames of racial, ethnic and other conflicts, were would the world be today? Would not your government and people be justifiably proud? Would not your administration’s political and economic standing have been stronger? And I am most sorry to say, would there have been an ever increasing global hatred of the American government?

Bush Demands That Iran Halt Production of Long Letters

At the White House, aides said that writing a letter of such length to President Bush, who is known for his extreme distaste for reading, was the most provocative act Mr. Ahmadinejad could have possibly committed.
