1. Oh that loveable Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Chris ,   Toronto   (12.15.05)
If he doesn't tone it down, Santa's putting some coal in his stocking this year.
2. iran
Ely ,   USA   (12.15.05)
like hell
3. Israel is the threat
BM   (12.15.05)
Iran presedent is really great guy that he says what all muslim leaders could not say.If EU and US are concerned about jews, why they through them to the middleeast, they should accomedate them in their countries where they had been mis-used .....
4. I BELIEVE.....
ALAN ,   USA   (12.15.05)
I believe this jerk, if Hitler had the bomb, he would have used it, he was working on it. Iranian words are not to be taken so lightly.
5. Who will stop them?
Huck Finn ,   Hannibal, USA   (12.15.05)
It's great that Israeli leaders understand the danger. But do they seriously believe that Europe will save Israel from annihilation? And could anyone think the UN, which recently celebrated Palestine Solidarity Day with a map from which Israel was missing, and with a moment of silence for all the Palestinian "martyrs" (i.e. mass murderers), will protect Israel? The only solution is a massive pre-emptive strike on Iran. Really, what Israel needs is not threats of sanctions but a coalition of the willing. Put pressure on Germany and France to participate militarily in defanging the Islamo-fascists. Otherwise, they will find themselves guilty of having done nothing in the face of evil.
6. lol
richard Hitchings ,   methil   (12.15.05)
lol yup he has a point lol
7. just stupid racist guy....
(12.15.05)
If people learnt something about history, you should know more or less how Reagan won his cold war against USSR. He obliged them acquiring a lot of weapons; and after spending enough money, the country went to bankrupt. As a consequence, the Berlin wall disappeared, and the russian inflence fell down. I think Iran's regime is about to fall down very soon, and this racist populist speech concerning Israel is only distracting people from their real life. But poverty will not disappear, and Ahmadinedjad will face to a revolution very soon. His hatred makes him blind, but it's not the first time in History: Haman, Hitler... and we know how they ended.
8. Why Iran would destroy Israel?
J Smith ,   Israel   (12.15.05)
We can destroy Iran today if we really want to. Iran is a clear danger, it is a despotic country ruled by ruthless terrorists. The way I see it, why wait?
9. The future
Huck Finn ,   Hannibal, USA   (12.16.05)
Haman, Hitler... and we know how they ended. Yes we do. Millions of jews died, and the temple of David destroyed, all because of selfish jewish rhetoric. Its time to accept that the Jews are a defeated people. All the military might and technology in the world is never going to buy you friends, jews will always have enemies...
10. we know how it ended?
alan ,   usa   (12.16.05)
Hey #7.. we know how it ended, Jews died with both murderers.
11. Too late now
richard Hitchings ,   methil   (12.16.05)
Its already too late for Israel to think that it is the only country in the middle east to have the bomb complete with a delivery system..... to pre empt Iran now is to bring on its own self destruction... but by all means feel free to think as you wish.... It may be that the crisses is already past when Sundays story from the Times came and went without mishap.. I dare say Iranians want to live too
12. Too Late now J Smith Israels path is Peace
richard Hitchings ,   methil   (12.16.05)
A few month ago Israel could have used Nuclear weapons with out fear of retaliation from Iran.... This would not have made Israel poular..but it could have been done. Now it is too late Iran is now equiped to deal with this and will deal with it.. Iran is now in a position of strenght to equal that of Israel,... and perhaps more.... so now JSmith it is a very risky business to do as youy suggest. Israels only path now lies through the path of peace with its neighbours... there are no choices any longer.
13. What BM nmbr 3 doesn't realise
Russel ,   TLV   (12.16.05)
Is that Arabs were also too happy to murder Jews. So if we follow the logic of Iran's not too bright leader we should be granted a piece of every land that has spilt the blood of the Jewish race, including Iran, of course. I wonder what it's like to be stupid and speak on behalf of an entire race?
14. #12
J Smith ,   Israel   (12.16.05)
It is certainly not too late. If nothing is done by the international community, Iran is still a few years away from having a bomb they can use. In that time we can finish off Iran hundreds of times. And also, Iran is nowhere near the military capability of Israel. They don't have the technology, they don't have the sophistication, and perhaps most importantly they don't have the brains to defeat Israel.
15. He is crazy!
Lillian ,   kUWAIT   (12.16.05)
These words coming out from the mouth of a so called president makes no sense. It's either he is crazy and don't know what he is talking about. How could Iran elect such a person, he will drag this country to nowhere but hell. That's for a fact.
16.  Forget it Mr Smith they have A bomb
Richard Hitchings ,   Methil   (12.16.05)
Mr Smith it may well be that they are some time away from making their own.... The Bomb(s) that they have at present are not of their own manufacture... How do I know this...? but here a clue... North Korea did not give them it.. The answer is available to all on line... if they care to work hard enough to find it. Mr Smith I find the tone of your email somewhat disturbing in that" Your High opinion of Israel is juxtaposed by your low opinion of Iran.. ...do not underestimate the abilities of your potential enemies... Further to this... Israel only has the bomb by virtue of an alliance with USA Vanunu tells us this also.
17. meanwhile in Alaska...
alan ,   san francisco   (12.16.05)
Santa's sleigh ride may take him over Teheran this year. Ho Ho Ho. What a Heliga Knacht that will be. as bubbie used to say about this kind of idiot Dos ist Baizeh chei eh
18. you can judge about now but not the future
mona ,   jerusalem   (12.16.05)
befor the 67 war .many speake about the war ....an old woman said we fear that the jews will take the rest of palastine ....one man was about 20 years was laughing aloud and said never nevr we are in 67 not 48 there is the un there is king huseen and this is part of his kingdoom .. i was listining only now the old woman was died ,,,the man i do not know where he is and iam remembering the conversation ...one thing did not happen all the people stayed in their home saying if we die we will not leave
19. i hope they have it and will distroy zionisim from its root
aa ,   london   (12.16.05)
20. no title
Essa ,   Manama   (12.16.05)
We all supporting pelastine so we all are crazy
21. Iran
Hussain ,   Manama   (12.16.05)
Israel will not be able to destroy Iran nor any other country , as promise by prohits over ages, the muslim will rule the whole world in justice, & the first revulation will be started by Iranian caryying black flags.
22. Bob Dylan sings to Lilian in Kuwait
richard Hitchings ,   methil   (12.16.05)
Lilian we have entered a new phase in world order... I remember listening to Bob Dylan singing about the times that are aa ...achaangin I was maybe about 13 or so when that came out... but its only now that I realise what Bob had to say to us....and even Bob would Im sure not realised hthe significance of that great song..... So now 40 years later I still cant get the song out my head.... an atomic armed Iran may seem not what is good.... but President A.. has the both the balls and the wisdom to know when to use such a weapon..... Its Israels chance now to make peace all round with their Arab cousins.... and to treat Palestinians with the same even hand as they treat the citizens of Israel... Should Israel do this then they will find themselves with new found friends rather than Potential enemies .
23. Jews
Joshua ,   Seattle   (12.19.05)
The Jews have a right to the land, Through the bible. And to add A couple other things, if the jews are not Gods Chosen then how did the The muslims who outnumbered the jews 10 to one loose the 6 day war (IN SIX DAYS).The Jewish history is proof of the bible. Everyone has tried to destroy them and still are, but yet they still are a people and a nation.
24. irans part of prophecy
JK ,   GODS COUNTRY   (12.19.05)
it is written that the kings from the east will try to destroy and they will fail. they will send there bombs and God will not let Isreal be destroyed. before the seals have been opened
25. Israel are Gods chosen people
JK ,   GODS Country   (12.19.05)
God has chosen the jews and then he gave them Isreal the land of milk and honey and will not forsake them, because he is a just God and will not allow anyone but his chosen people to have Israel. not the sons of Ishmael bot the sons of abrahm Isaac and Jacob
26. land of gog and magog
JK ,   San Diego, Ca   (12.20.05)
And you son of man, prophesyagainst Gog and say, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. you shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the people who are with you; this speaks of the people of Gog and magog which reads the people of the east and north that send there arrows or missles which the Lord God will protect the jews and the land of which he chose ISRAEL
27. Response to "Isreal is the threat."
JO ,   San Diego, USA   (12.20.05)
Response to "Isreal is the threat." Jews were "mis-used" in Egypt; should Egypt accommodate them? :-)
28. Israel, Iran and the Middle East
Steve ,   Denver, USA   (12.21.05)
The Iranian President stated that Israel could be destroyed with 3 nukes and while a few nukes would hurt Iran it would survive. The Soviet Union collapsed because the price of oil (its main export revenue) collapsed. Now we are approaching peak oil, oil prices will remain high, taking Iranian oil off the market could send oil to $100/bbl. Iran will not collapse anytime soon due to economics. Plus China & India want to buy its oil & gas. So bad times lay ahead unless action is taken to stop an Iran Nuke. With a few nukes Iran will without question attack Israel. If so then what will the rest of us do, remember with a long range missile Iran can tell Europe to stay out and they will, just like Germany released a killer to free one of its citizens in Iraq.
29. A CHILD IS BORN
JK ,   SAN DIEGO   (12.22.05)
A SAVIOR IS GIVEN AND THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE IS FOR YOUR ASKING JUST ASK FOR FORGIVNESS OF YOUR SINS AND ACCEPT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART AND YOU WILL BE GINING THE GIFT OF THE SON JESUS MERRY CHRISTMAS HE IS RISEN
