Partially-anonymous poster Chris had a great idea: Adding his own letter to the Iranian president in the comments section. His note points out, pragmatically, that building nuclear weapons is neither cost- nor labor-efficient:
I hear on NPR that you are interested in developing nuclear weapons. My advice would be to skip it. From my little knowledge of history, the only use of nuclear weapons so far has been widely misunderstood and castigated. Everyone else who has built one has been afraid to use it. So at minimum it is a waste of time and money. I also heard that you deny that you really want a nuclear weapon. That puzzles me, since having one is only useful if everyone knows you've got it. And working on one is only effective if everyone knows about it. Fortunately, NPR knows.
Good point, Chris! In gratitude, I’d mail you my copy of Reading Lolita in Tehran, but — as a book that seems to attract a lot of intergenerationl lending — it technically belongs to my mom. My own letter to Ahmadinejad would probably be a lot like Fiona’s, except that I don’t know how to bake honey-buns. It might also get kind of emotional, actually, given that the whole Holocaust-denial thing makes me want to demand of the President where exactly he thinks my extended family went in the 1940s…but never mind. You guys are smart and funny, O Jewcy readers, and so we pass the torch to you. Do us proud in the comment section below.
