Dear President Bush:
Please disregard the comments of our fowl-mouthed friend.
Hopefully speaking for a clear majority of Americans, I relate to you that the United States can play nicely with other countries if we conduct outselves with honesty, integrity, leadership, and humility.

On a personal note, you’ve made a lousy mistake in Iraq, and I won’t vote for you next year. But I don’t think you’re going to get the isolationist vote in any case, so I hope you will not make the mistake of trying to appease our angry friend by bring our country back to the bad ol’ days of the 1930s.
Very respectfully,
