I really don't care if Bush (or more likely his staff) wrote it or not. The fact the someone feels comfortable enough within our society to write such a sensitive and perceptive letter and then publish it, in the midst of what should be a war-driven fervor, speaks well of our country.

Even if Bush or his administration had nothing to do with the letter, I suspect that someone will send or email a copy to the Saudi embassy, or it will be picked up by some Saudi intelligence operative and forwarded on to appropriate authorities, or a citizen in Saudi Arabia will take it off the internet and pass it around. It may be that Colin Powell uses portions of it in his next meetings with some of his old counter-parts from the Gulf War.

Bush's Cabinet is superbly positioned to handle this war, and even if you view some of their actions in the Gulf war as wrong, they have obviously learned from the outcomes of those previous actions. They say it takes two people to support truth, one to speak it and the other to recognize it. Whoever wrote this letter is to be praised, whoever recognizes it, might just find Allah's favor.
