Carter Agrees to Hold Talks With Khatami

Let’s forget the fact that the last time he got involved in Iran and its relationship with the United States during his one and only term as president, he managed to get the Shah thrown out of power (releasing political prisoners worked real well there Jimmy) which in turn brought the ascension to power of one of the worst dictators the world has ever known and threw the stability of the Middle East region into a cataclysmic tailspin. Despite lacking the political authority to make such an arrangement, Jimmy Carter has agreed to hold talks with forner Iranian president Mohammad Khatami during his visit to the United States in the hopes of making the situation with Iran even worse.
