3. Bush needs this guy (who is demonizing Chinese, but could be shifted to Iranians)
to rev up some hysteria about whatever group of foreigners Bush wants to attack next. To effectively conduct a war you have to dehumanize the other side first, like we did to the Japanese and Germans in WWII.

Some examples (with my changes to fit the Iranians):

"Go ahead & have all the compassion for the filthy greedy bastards you want. They have brought it on themselves "collectively" together, as one.

BTW, I couldn't care less what you think of me, so go ahead, insult me all you want, give it all you got." (No change needed).
-----
"The whole place is a god damned virus. It's completely out of control. And we feed the monster." (No change)
-----
"It's the Maoist communist (Islamic fundamentalist) system. It's billions (millions) of people in lockstep. They're marching straight ahead we (sic - "with") eyes wide open right over a cliff."
-----
"Imagine that, billions (millions) of people caged without any free will at all. ... If it's so bad then they ought to have a revolt,god knows they know how to do it with a vengeance. To the contrary, you know as well as I do that in spite of any possible pollution (terrorism) or any other form of inhumanity that most of them have never had it so good."
