I'm surprised this wasn't brought up here yet. What do you guys think of the event when Mar Dinkha IV visited with Iranian President Amhadinejad (sp).
I think its good and weird at the same time. It's great to see some credibility given to the Assyrian Church of the East to have our Patriarch visit a Head of State of another country. It's definitely good PR and his message was clear and concise. However, it's weird to me because Iran is a US enemy and am wondering if it was a good move to meet with an enemy of the country you currently reside in. I don't know. In the end I thought it was done in good faith and probably should've been advertised more.
