Caption: KHATAMI URGES COOPERATION: Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami urged the West and East to engage in dialogue during a talk at the Washington National Cathedral on September 7, a lecture that drew about 200 protesters stationed across the street. Khatami, considered Iran's first reformist president when he served from 1997 to 2005, called on Muslims, Jews and Christians to "return to their vital, vibrant and common essence" to cooperate "for peace and prosperity in the world." Khatami closed his speech by urging East and West to "fairly and impartially reevalute and critique modernism and tradition and open the path to a better tomorrow, and to rescue life from the claws of warmongers and violence-seekers and ostentatious leaders."
