Although this should be GOOD NEWS, I have a feeling many of you talkbackers aren't gonna like it. No more fear tactics for you! Not for 5 years at least.

Blix might think he is right but there are too many question marks on that. They may not have found any WMD's in Iraq. That doesn't mean they were not there. There are many indications that they have been spirited away, possibly, to Syria. Blix is in no position to establish what the shifty Iranians have accomplished secretly. With corrupt coountries such as Pakistan and the former USSR you can never tell for sure what has taken place. If today Iran can boast of having some of the worlds most sophisticated missiles and torpedoes, how long has this program been advancing without the western world's knowledge? Blix know nothing! He can only guess.

So we should just wait until they have it, then start arguing over what to do next. Once they have it, they will shoot no matter what. They dont give a damn what happens to Iran once they shoot a missle because their only intention is to destory Israel, just like a suicide bomber. Action is Needed Now, We Cannot Wait To Have Another Shoah. And also, this guy is an ex employee, ex meaning not working anymore, second Iran doesnt give them full access of everything. Victory will be won by the Israelis if we do pre-emptive soon. Unite Against Amalek

the sun don't shine!!! The day Israel lets its fate be controlled or influenced by what this moron says is the day Israel will perish in a mushroom cloud. What an idiotic attitude to take with a country who's president openly states that he wants to destroy Israel. We need to act now and get rid of this fool and his regime. There are many Iranians that would agree. The U.S. has learned it's lesson in waiting for something to happen...9/11. Lets not make the same mistake twice.

So what the point, ever if they are 5 years away from the bomb, they are still dangerous. Who cares if they need 5 years or 5 months to become a world threat. The threat must be dealt with ASAP.

You people are ridiculous!! You only wanna hear what you like!! This is true!! and what's more true is that the amounts of weapons grade uranium that Iran is planning to produce are nothing compared to what's needed for a nuke!! wake up and smell the crap!! oh wait, you the one' s talking the crap!! So typical!! At least someone have the decency of acknowledging that there might be some truth to this!!

YEAH! RELAX! WHAT ARE YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT IN ISRAEL? SO WHAT IF IRAN HAS SAID YOU SHOULD BE WIPED OFF THE MAP. SO WHAT IF IRAN HAS SAID IT WOULD BE WORTH THE PRICE TO NUKE ISRAEL. WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO WORRIED AND "RIDICULOUS"? KS IN LEBANON....YOU ARE AN AHABAL.

This information does not surprise me the least. A country which cannot even operate with the simple technology of airplane maintenance is certainly not up to date in the latest nuclear research. However, gangsters of the type represented by Mahmoud-the-nazi do not need to be nuclear conversant to make a nuisance of themselves as we well know. Therefore, bomb or no bomb, he should be deposed. In my opinion, and in view of the horrendous economic conditions in Iran, the Islamists are far from getting the bomb. Research calls for money and technology exchanges. Any military threat would come from non-conventional weapons, including newly developed toxic gas.

your behind on the first missile the Iranians fire next. We wouldn't want an appeaser of the Iranian Fuhrer to miss his execution. We should of waited a little longer for Hitler I presume. Then we wouldn't need this talkback. All the Jews would of been dead.

ever think the US interests are less for the oil, and more to prevent a change in the currency the oil is traded under? USrael is just cranking the paraganda and propanoia before Iran overhauls to the EURO.

so let me get this straight.. hans blix is a fool, self-defence is determinable by who nukes who first (an air strike against a nuclear reactor IS nuclear war, just as is the use of depleted uranium munitions), talk about mopping the desert with iran isn't as aggressive as them talking about mopping it with you? sounds like many of these talkbacks don't have an ethical leg to stand on. just remember 'do as we say, not as we do' won't work in diplomatic relations. i can only imagine what's at stake here, but this line of argument is puerile and not the way to play prisoners' dilemma.

This may come as a shock to you, but Lebanon is right beside Israel. If Iran ever did lob nukes at Israel then Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine would also end up glowing in the dark and have peoples shadows permanently etched into the facades of buildings. Your entire part of the world is pretty close quarters, when it comes to nuclear weapons the there will be plenty of suffering to go around and Iranian nukes pointed at Israel wouldn't just be Israel's problem. KS in Lebanon has reason to worry too.

"We should of waited a little longer for Hitler I presume. Then we wouldn't need this talkback. All the Jews would of been dead." It's would HAVE waited, and would HAVE been dead. Not would OF, you itiot. Do you need me to teach you your own language? Get an education, and stop buying into all the fear tactics, nobody's comin to get you so relax, just because someone wants you dead doesn't mean they're gonna try to kill you.

Blix is notoriusly known to make Arab-Muslim propaganda. The fact is, he is a nothing. He has no inside to the Iran process and was an EX(!!!!)-Inspector! Why giving him such a headline that can risk our all lifes here???? And it is NOT true that there were not WMD in Iraq: In the last months more and more informations from American and Israeli security and former Iraqi official sources say: The WMD were there and moved to Syria before the war. And even now there are new hints to a Saddam Al-Quida connection and meetings in the late 90ies. Why also to state the point of the WMD uncorrectly? Who wants the articles and source, please send me an email.

They meant us no harm. Until they bombed the hell out of Pearl Harbor! I think it was your grand Mufti in Jerusalem, negotiating with Adolf Hitler, about building a concentration camp in Israel. He was going to kill and burn Jews. We don't take any stock in Arabs killing humans. You blow them up every day in every way. Even your own Arab neighbors. Why would we think that your cousins in Iran could commit the same atrocities? Probably because they fund them. Don't fret though Arab. Your good grammar will come in handy if a bomb lands in Israel or the United States. You will be able to write about the glass produced as your brothers melted into the sands in retaliation.

no intelligence is as good as israeli intelligence. israel has stated that if iran's nuclear sites were not destroyed by march, 2006, the iranians could not be stopped from getting a nuclear bomb. march has past, and i believe israel is waiting for bush to get on board, and then the u.s, and israel will take out the madman of iran and his underground tunnels where he is building nukes. iran is playing public war games with their conventional weapons as we speak. they know they have only a short time left. doomsday for them is on its way. the madman of tehran will rue the day he ever uttered the word israel. he took on an enemy that will destroy him.

KS, read #9's post. Iran is not only a threat to Israel, but to all of us. Your attitude would let WW2 happen agian, but the rest of us have learned from history. Ahmedinejad is a crazy, delusional Nazi, and he needs to go. You just post whatever it is that opposes everyone else, but I bet if Iran had nukes, your song would be different. Wnada, Canadians never cease to amaze with their ignorant posts. Maybe you have to much Molson in your blood, but think it through and you'll realize that the US and Israel are the good guys here. Of course they have their own national interests, but when it comes to EVIL regimes, we have to stop them before it's too late. Cheers!!!

"Your good grammar will come in handy if a bomb lands in Israel or the United States. You will be able to write about the glass produced as your brothers melted into the sands in retaliation." Why didn't it happen after 9/11 then? You harm one inch of our land and guess what....... NO OIL FOR YOU, good luck filling up the jet planes you claim you'll bomb us with.

EVIL VS. GOOD? This isn't Hollywood.

Hitler, Stalin, Sadam Husein, or any other leader that promotes the mass killing of another group of people??? I call it EVIL!!! Maybe your definition of evil is demons or the devil, but I am being realistic and dealing with real people that really do these things. If Ahmedinejad says he wants to erase Israel off the face of the Earth, I will believe him and so should you.

"If Ahmedinejad says he wants to erase Israel off the face of the Earth, I will believe him and so should you. " If I actually beat the snot out of someone every time I said aloud "I want to kick their @ss" two-thirds of the Canadian legal system would revolve around me standing trial for aggravated assault.

Yes, Saddam is evil. Please tell me again, how exactly did Saddam rise to power in Iraq? Was he assisted in any way, DR? Did he have some help to overthrow the King of Iraq? Did any of this have to do with neighboring Iran? So this if this evil man that you speak of, was put to power by someone, wouldn't it mean that whoever helped him rise to power is either as evil or more evil for installing him? By the way, it was the US, the ones you claim are on the GOOD side in this battle. Dude, stop buying into the propoganda, it's all politics.

The xenophobia that the Arab nations demonstrate, and condone, with indescriminate bombings of innocent civilians, will eventually cause a war that cuts off oil anyways. I don't want to fund your asinine culture. Please cut off the oil, and sit on the well with your dirty Camel Haliburton. Then the companies in America, and elsewhere, will have to push an alternate fuel source, and drilling off America's coasts and ANWR. We are sick of Arab Terrorism, because they have a few buckets of oil. Screw your bad behaviour Arab. The Biggest Bigots in the world are Arab Terrorist Pushers. Your people might as well be a bunch of burned out heroin abusers. Oh well, There is Afhanistan. Repeat----I Don't Want Your Friggen Oil!!!!! If a war occurs, there won't be enough of you left to run the oil refineries anyways. You'll be going at it with all your invisible virgins. All thanks to the fact that everyone was supposed to become a Muslim according to your culture. A war will occur because of your misguided belief. Whose the biggot? You might as well go hang out with Tom Cruise and become a scientologist. He's as nutty as your Arab Brethern. That's what I'll write when you bring your fiefdom down with a war, Mr. Arab!

and ready to fly!!! And with the national oil reserves, I expect we have enough oil left over to fly the rest of the missiles over. I don't want your oil, keep it, stop shipping it. We have enough alternative energy to replace it if we are forced to do so. I walk to work Arab. I'll burn wood happily, to get off your blood oil. I'm tired of funding your terrorism anyways.

i don't think you have a very good read on the currents beneath the surface. realistic? you are what you eat: invoking 9/11 and notorious EVIL names will not justify a preemptive strike: if you forget, that's just what Hitler did with Poland. he started WW2 and he's now considered a Bad Man. lest you forget too, pearl harbour was the result of a US foreign policy taunt, 9/11 purportedly the result of US imperialism (but considering it's only furthered it, i'd draw a concise parallel straight back to adolf's rise to power again). you can't insult my nationality, we mop up after your corporate interests everywhere (read: afghanistan). world wide opinion is calling bush a tyrant right now... care to object? insult away, i'll soon insult back and only feel sorry for you, because it'll be true.

i kinda think you're a bigot too. see, it's because you talk like a bigot. making inductive, sweeping remarks about people based on their culture = bigotry. indiscriminate bombings - - - um, let's see, pakistan weddings, afghan hamlets, white phosphorus gas in fallujah... doesn't sound very discriminate where you bomb either. it's about the industrial military complex/bandit barons that run the US, they're profiting. who else is? bigots like you only dehumanize others' worth so they can get some sleep at night.
