Whether you would like to face the fact that Iran has been quite unreasonable for decades or not is irrelevant to the fact that this administration has succeeded in opening any offical channels with Iran since 1978. Thus, your stating, over and over, that we will start having official diplomatic relations with Iran is disingenuous, at best; it certainly makes it no more true than the first time you tried to say it.
