Oh please….. Sister Simone Campbell…. she is well know in the Catholic church as more of a politician than a sister. I am surprised her buddy Fr. Gerry Creedon didn’t sign on to this letter.

Sr. Simone was ““touched” by Ahmadinejad when she met him in 2007:

“The President of Iran gains support in Iran when he is “attacked” by the United States, and President Bush gains at home when he demonizes the Iranian President. This plays well for both administrations in their domestic political struggles. Neither has an incentive to change the dynamic… .
Of his comments—I think I was most touched by his comments about poverty and how where there is absolute poverty there is a denial of someone’s human rights.
Some of the questions asked were so culturally contained in an effort to connect at the human level, e.g. his fears, failings in Iran, etc. I don’t know how we get around this, but it seems unrealistic to expect him (or anyone from another culture) to respond to our U.S. human expectations of “bonding.”“
