This looks real good and nothing bad could come from it except of course a Muslim fanatic shooting Khatami much like what happened to Anwar Sadat.

Khatamis a Jew?! And he's denying it?!

Of course Khatami is denying the whole affair. It never happened.
President Katsav is a Persian Jew who came from the same city as Khatami and that was what they discussed according to Katsav. It would be nice if the Iranians could be a bit more honest and not lie at every chance they get.

I agree with oleneo that it's more courtesy than anything else. After all, at the same gathering Jacques Chirac elegantly kissed Condi Rice's hand. I see the world leaders as a bunch of rambunctious kids "behaving" for their benevolent yet formidable grandfather who just died.

Did you know that the Israeli Minister of Defense is a Persian Jew as well and spoke live on the radio with Iranians in Iran.
One called called up and asked for Israel to liberate the Iranians like the Americans liberated the Iraqis. I know some of you would think that that the call was staged but just search the internet and you'll see how much animocity there is amongst Iranians against the current regime.
