A reformer might also be interested in a comprehensive peace with us and the West, which would require him to sign the non-proliferation treaty and remove the nuclear threat entirely? Treaty, schmeaty. No matter how many Iranians signed such a treaty, we know they`d be lying, because that`s what Arabs do. We know that even the "reformist" Iranians are just extremists in disguise. Better to have an honest, Israel-hating extremist than a fake "reformer" who tells us what we want to hear. Only we should be allowed to do that. We do it so well. We know there are no reformers—never mind that Iranians appear to be fighting and dying for decency and moderation at this moment, that`s just a ruse—all coons look alike to us. Everyone wants to push us into the sea. We know it because we say so. Forget the Arabs. We`re our own worst enemy.
