* After seeing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speak at the United Nations, all I can say is that I didn’t know there were so many Democrats in Iran (“Christians Who Dine With Lions,” Editorial, Sept. 25).

* Why did all these religious groups meet with Ahmadinejad? What does he care about religion?

How many religions do you know of in Iran? Practically the only religion allowed there is terrorism.

If the Quakers, Mennonites and others thought that they would accomplish anything with this meeting, I have a bridge to sell them.

The more you give Ahmadinejad a forum, the longer he’ll be around.

Ignore him, and hopefully he’ll disappear like yesterday’s garbage – which is exactly what he is.

* I do not celebrate Ahmadinejad and believe his anti-Israel and anti-America rhetoric is outrageous, but The Post’s criticism of peacemaking groups like the World Council of Churches, the American Friends Service Committee, the Quakers and the Mennonites is reprehensible.

No one knows when, but some day in the future the lamb will lie down with the lion and there will be a universal reign of peace.

Is The Post’s editorial board ready to lead the way in challenging its readers to call for America to turn its huge stockpile of nuclear weapons into farming implements to feed a hungry world?

Thank God for our courageous peacemaking institutions, which understand that peace, like war, is waged.
