Words escape me on this one.

At the Cathedral, the Rev. Canon John L. Peterson, director of its Center for Global Justice and Reconciliation, said U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan had invited Khatami to participate in a conference Sept. 5-6 to promote dialogue.

He said the church’s center “thought it would be appropriate to invite the president to speak on the role that the three Abrahamic faiths can play in shaping peace.”

“We have a special commitment to embracing the children of Abraham,” he said, referring to Muslims, Christians and Jews.

“The Church calls upon us to engage in reconciliation and understanding by having conversations with people with whom we might disagree,” he said.

Evan Anderson, deputy director of the Center, said the former president was in Dubai preparing to apply for permission to visit the United States.

So, Kofi Anan, the great appeaser who sees Israel as the cause of all that’s wrong in the world has invited this Islamist who wants nothing more than to eradicate Israel and all Westerners to the US!

Should be interesting to see what the US State Department does with the Visa request on this one. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if State actually gave this Iranian henchman a Visa.
