Excerpts from the Globe's interview with Khatami
On Monday, the Globe's Farah Stockman spoke with former Iranian President Mohammed Khatami.
Question 1: You have been here 10 days now...how do you see the state of relations between the US and Iran?
Question 2: How do you view your legacy when you look back? You were someone who talked a lot about reforms. Do you feel you made progress?
Question 3: I have talked to some people in the last few days including a few who were at the speech last night who have said that they have written to you seeking protections while they were in Iran. It seems like you may have gotten many letters from these types of people... what you would say to them …
Question 4: Last night you spoke of democracy as inevitable... what advice would you give to those who would like to see it come quickly in Iran… is there anything they can really do? Or is it wasted time?
Question 5: Is there anything you wish you had done during his presidency parallel to Clinton's to improve ties?
Question 6: Your major theme has been a dialogue of civilizations between countries and faiths and I'm wondering if you attempted to form a dialogue of civilizations [in Iran]?
