American threats have encouraged all Iranians to support wacko extremists and more military weapons. Iranians did exactly what any people would do when overtly threatened. Remove those threats and Iran may again embrace reformists.
Current Iranian comments come from those extremists who have the same attitude as Cheney. Can Khatami get reelected?

I agree and hope that they (reformists) can regain momentum. The Iranian people really do want a secular government. At least, most of them do.
