[Angelus Errare]

I just heard the imam speak, and I think that it's people like him who are going to make Iraq a stable democracy in the near future.

"I invite you to visit all of us in Iraq after we have overthrown the tyrant Saddam!"

Re inviting us all when they arrive --

These people in person, off camera were just so nice. I really believe he *was* inviting us to come visit! I can't tell you how well-behaved and articulate their children were, too. God Bless them. I loved how open-minded his talk was too -- at one point he made a bow to the fact that much of his audience might be Christian, noting that if Jesus were to go to Iraq today, he would not support Saddam.

I doubt most of us would agree with them on Israel. But precautions were apparently taken to make sure we all stayed on the topic of the day.
