Khatami condemns US policy

WTF? I thought Bush was loudly proclaiming that our enemy was Islamo-fascism. So what is the State department doing granting an unrestricted visitors visa to the former head of a nation with which we have no diplomatic relations, and which is arguably a genuine Islamo-fascist state?

When we had a vague inkling that Saddam might possibly still have a few old chemical or biological WMD's, we beat the drums of war loudly and rapidly. We know for a fact that the Iranians are pursuing a nuclear weapon, and yet the same government that was so anxious to effect "regime change" in Iraq is moving at a snails pace against Tehran.

Methinks that there's more going on here than meets the eye or we are governed by incompetent idiots, take your pick. And I sincerely hope it's the former, because we've still got over two years of this Administration left to run.

Ex-Iranian President Mohammad Khatami savages US foreign policy at a gathering of Muslims in Chicago.
