-- James A. Donald:
But Khatami was knackered shortly after being elected, so any aid would be aiding the terrorists. We saw how well that worked in Fallujah and Sadr city.
June 2001: Khatami re-elected
A few months or weeks thereafter, Khatami knackered.

Either you're trolling, in which case I salute you as a master of your art, or you are wilfully ignorant.
BBC June 6 2001, a few days after Khatami's election http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1373476.stm : : Much of the press that backs Mr Khatami's reforms : : has been silenced, and many of the president's : : supporters have been jailed or face charges Had the US "supported Khatami", it would have in fact been supporting not Khatami, but rather those who imprison his supporters, and who seek to murder people like me. --digsig James A.
