Reactions to a Reactor

I, too, would be creating a civilian nuclear program if I were Iran. Safe atomic energy makes all the sense in the world, if you ask me. However, if I were Iran, I'd invite Deep Purple or someone like that to stage a reunion concert at Persepolis, featuring a state-of-the-art light show and a live satellite uplink. I'd call it the "Concert for  Zoroaster." Alas, sponsorship of such an event is, of course, the main big difference between me and Iran, besides the fact that it's a large bordered land mass and I'm just a stick of flesh with genitalia.
But putting these dissimilarities momentarily aside, if really were Iran, then I too would tell other nations to mind their own damn business if they demanded instant access to my private parts. And I too would maintain this stubborn resistance until such time as the other nations eventually all ganged up together and forced me to take my pants off in public and reveal my reactor for the inspection of all and sundry. Which is why, if I were Iran, I too would be merely scratching my hairy silos at America's solo sanctions effort.

Can you spot the irony in this post? Yes, that's right, well-spotted: I don't even like Deep Purple.

I thought the irony, if there is an irony, could only be that you have no . . .

I tried to work the army phrase 'short arm inspection' into a witty comment, but am not up to the task.

I caught the irony, but the irony won...
