Welcome to the Land of the Great Satan, Smiling Mullah Khatami

Great news! Great news! The deadly confrontation between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic of Iran is about to become history. The dove of peace is here in the person of the Smiling Mullah Khatami. Just look at his serene face with and ever-present reassuring smile. It makes you forget all your troubles, doesn’t it?
