CAMBRIDGE — The dean of Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government yesterday defended the decision to invite Mohammad Khatami to speak on the eve of Sept. 11, saying the United States needs dialogue with its enemies.

Do we listen to those that we disagree with, and vigorously challenge them, or do we close our ears completely?” said David Ellwood, the Kennedy School’s dean, in an interview with the Globe.
