While I agree with many of the points which this article makes, let us not forget that in many countries, including the real Mr. Khatami's homeland, publication of a satire of this type would be grounds for imprisonment. Personally, I think George W. Bush is an idiot, and I am saddened by what the U.S. has come to represent to some of our fellow Earthlings. But, I am grateful that I can say that I think Dubya is a moron in a public forum without having to worry about going to jail. Well... not yet, at least.
