Unlike Bush, who's traveled to Iraq twice unannounced and on his last visit never left an American base in Anbar province, Ahmadinejad not only announced his trip in advance but also is planning to visit two major Shiite Muslim holy sites, Karbala and Najaf, at the end of a mammoth Shiite pilgrimage that was marred by a suicide bombing.

(...)

During his visit, Ahmadinejad will receive a formal ceremonial welcome — which Bush thus far hasn't had — and will talk with Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki and President Jalal Talabani. In addition to visiting Najaf and Karbala, he requested a trip to Samara — a far more dangerous trip into hostile Sunni territory, where the destruction of a Shiite shrine helped spark sectarian warfare — but his hosts turned that down.

It will send a discouraging message to those who wonder whether America will continue to work for the freedom of prisoners. It will give great status to those who have suppressed human rights and human dignity. […]

Sitting down at the table, having your picture taken with a tyrant such as Raul Castro, for example, lends the status of the office and the status of our country to him. He gains a lot from it by saying, look at me, I’m now recognized by the President of the United States.
