Reformer gorbachev. khrushchev said we want peace, we want peace. the reality was gorbachev said this is how im going to dismandle the apparatus of the soviet union. in iran you have talks of were going to dismantile the nuclear bo bomb, but every time we come up with a condition, they say we will discuss it in geneva. they are trying to gain time. >> benjamin netanyahu will lay out his case to the world, a different case than what weve heard this past week. walid farris, thank you so much for y...
