The former president of Iran, Mohammad Khatami, has applied for a visa to come to the U.S. to give a speech at the National Cathedral in Washington. I have many questions — including why we consider an insititution that would extend such an invitation some sort of ecumenical gathering place when elected officials need a church.(Don’t be fooled by the conventional wisdom — that Khatami was a “reformer” — readers of Michael Ledeen and Michael Rubin know better.)
