Israel, Iran can co-exist, says Khatami

A former president of Iran believes the Islamic theocracy can peacefully co-exist with Israel as "brothers and sisters" and has defended his chequered record on human rights. Dr Seyed Mohammad Khatami's visit to Australia has attracted criticism from some in the Jewish community who have questioned his reformist credentials. The former leader of Iran told a Canberra audience on Tuesday Iran had a history of living peacefully with its neighbours, putting him at odds with Iran's current hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was reported in 2005 to have said he wanted Israel "wiped off the map".

I don't think so

As long as the Jewish theocracy threatens the ME peace, Iran will stand against them. They need to change behavior.
The Israeli theocracy must begin to upgrade their backward mentality, then there is hope.

Dear friend I just wanted to comment on your nik "Iranyvaliazad" (Irani but free!!) and let you know that it doesn't make any sense. It sounds like a teenager coming up with a new made up word when they don't understand the language well. Just think about it and hopefully you'll see what I mean. The problem is the word "but" followed by free. I understand what you are implying but it is not correct and sounds very silly.
