No hot dogs after all?

The Obama administration is reported to be "seriously considering not extending invitations to Iranian diplomats for July 4 celebrations overseas." On the other hand, U.S. officials are also saying that if such a decision is made, invitations that have gone out will not be rescinded. Fortunately, it's doubtful that any Iranian diplomat is now contemplating an appearance at the U.S. embassy on the Fourth of July, in any event.

It's past time for the U.S. government to disavow the notion that representatives of the thuggish Iranian regime are welcome at our Fourth of July celebration.
