32. 14 Yes. One could go so far as
freedom ,   canada   (08.27.06)
to have a trade embargo against China. Buy domestic. and let chinas' economy overproduce and then collapse. Interesting premise.. I dont think it will happen..
33. 15 Wheres the movie with the Hizbullah
freedom ,   canada   (08.27.06)
packing ballbearings in the Kayushas and then targeting civilians in Israel. Please post that video as well.. That is a definite war crime. Thanks for your help.
34. 16 How does your logic shape up..

35. 17. Amir.. There are many statements

36. Maybe Iran should sell Oil by Euros and abandon US $!

37. Is Ah Mad drinking heavy water and eating yellowcake?
John ,   NZ   (08.27.06)
38. This is a very encouraging sign
Jonathan ,   Missouri USA   (08.26.06)
I am very encouraged by this. I was beginning to fear the our country had lost its will to do anything outside of the framework of that most useless body of AntiAmerican/Israeli hatred, the UN. Its hard to say weather or not we will take military action, but I believe at some point we will have no choice to. Iran with the bomb will only destabilise the ME in a way that has not happened in our lifetimes. I am also going to say here that the cold war has never really ended and that Russia continues to oppose American interests whenever possible. I believe that in the future America will have to go to war with Russia and China. Most people do not see it that way yet, but give it some time.
39. Iran
Dr. Joji Cherian ,   Aluva India   (08.27.06)
After the humiliation in Lebanon it will not as easy as in the past for the Israeli loby to push around the Americans to bomb as Eric wants.Well that is my perception.
40. RE: #20, Sean in Israel
christian for israel ,   USA   (08.27.06)
How could Iran make more of an ass out of the UN than this pro-dictator and pro-terrorism organization already is? The UN did one thing right-the creation of Israel. I would give anything if the US and Israel would leave the UN (and they would leave the US). That organization is way beyond redemption.
41. Iran's "bright future"
rangers lead the way ,   usa   (08.27.06)
1. Olmert will soon be removed. 2.BIBI; The Arabs and Irans' worst nightmare will soon be in charge. 3. Israel currently has first, second and third strike nuke options; which is lethal to any of her enemies. 4. Iran may at best have smuggled 2 nukes from Russia. 5. Iran's current military forces and her possibly smuggled nukes did not deter Israeli forces from wasting southern Lebanon, which by the way the Israelis still easily controls through a massive air cover, which no one has challanged. 6. Biased media reports suggesting that the Hezbos were victorious do not hide the fact that Israeli forces still control all of Lebanon's borders and have wasted her south. 6. Iran will never be in a postion of developing her own nukes. Israeli cities have shown that they can and will survive conventional and biochem missile attacks. 7. The Arabs and Iran can not survive an israeli first, second or third nuke strike . 8. The reality is that soon Teheran is likely to become the first middle eastern city to become a glass factory .
42. Wake up...Iran's plans have been in the works for years
A Concerned Human ,   Seattle, USA   (08.27.06)
Oppressive, inhumane and buit on idealogies of hate, should the world wait patiently alongside the toothless EE for Iran to destroy us all? I'm amazed at how the world seems to be looking the other way while these madmen lay the groundwork to destroy all those who think differently than they do.
43. come on...
Ehsan ,   Stockton   (08.27.06)
Take it easy everyone. lets not wish war on 70 million people.. lets look at Iraq for a second.. 100 Iraqis are dieing everyday that is september 11th tragedy every month.. 12 a year.. comeono we are better people than that... I bet you anything if U.S got into negotiations with Iran the world would be a safer place... For two reasons. Because what U.S will do to Iran and What Iran will do to retaliate... The Iranians have dieing for some support for many years and now they finally get some from Russia, and China. They didn't wage war on U.S then and now they are definitly not going to screw this up for them selves.. They are finaly coming around after a 8 year war with Iraq and many years of sanctions they are not going to ruin this.. I really believe that... Also Iran's fascility's have been inspected religiously for 3 years and the reports have indicated nothing that point to military. If U.S atacks now or does something then Iran will come out of the NPT. What then? then they can legaly make bombs.. and noone will be able to do anything about it.... I say lets talk first and see how serious the negotiations are... It seems Iran's response to the 5+1 is positive and if U.S gives some slack it seems like the Iranians are willing to go far... This is what I think about the people who shove Iran's calls for Israels removal from the region.. Here is something that you may not realize. Just like how we in the U.S and offcourse Israeli's have National security so do the Iranians. The Iranians do not want their billions and billions of dollars to go up in smoke.. Israel and the U.S both have made threats to Iran that they will to a fly by there is no questions about that... So the Iranians want some assurances that is going to tell them that their investment is going to be safe hence, the rhetoric out of them. That way both sides have something to assure the other side with... Now this only can happen at the negotiating table which I believe will happen sooner than later. I hope... Thanks.
44. #14
Joshua ,   USA   (08.27.06)
But Unfortunately for US, fortunately for china, I don’t US can afford quadrupling the cost of commodities we currently get from china.
45. The Spirit is willing.......
Ricky Bobby ,   Talladega, USA   (08.27.06)
but the flesh is weak. America being any kind of force in this world is over. The press, PC and Liberals have rendered the US useless. China, Russia and the Islamofacists have won the new war without firing a shot. We have become a country of appeasers just like Israel. We had a good run, but our day as Leader of the Free World has come and gone. It was a good exiperiment, but we allowed the barbarians to gather at the gate and then let them in. I still love this country, but truth is truth. The truth is that we will go the way of the Roman Empire. We no longer have the stomach for conflict. So sad.
46. Israel wins in the end
Bill ,   USA   (08.26.06)
Israel wants nothing but to live in peace and all the world has done was try its hardest to eradicate them. But God has other plans. When you move against Israel and are sure of your victory, God will bring his wrath on you and your armies. Repent, sinners, for the time is near! Turn to Jesus so that you may be saved and have peace beyond what this world can offer. This world has deceived you and made you promises of false hope and false peace. So ask the Lord to blind your eyes so that your heart may see. My heart goes out to every single person, in the world, weather muslim or jew or christian or any other. All your struggles break my heart and I yearn for the day of Christ's return. "To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen"
47. let Iran have nukes!
lol   (08.27.06)
by dropping them on their capital cities!
48. It is right of Iran to have a peacefull NuK
Analyst ,   Iran   (08.27.06)
It is right of Iran to have a peacefull nuclar power and US and Isreal cannot do any thing.
49. me
lep ,   usa   (08.27.06)
number 8 is right. The bully israeli government in support with the mentally ill bush administration will be forced to use common sense when iran gets the bomb. Good luck, Iran. p.s. North korea is just one example.
50. Iran and procrastination
Lou ,   Los angeles, ca, usa   (08.27.06)
Why are we sitting idly by giving Iran more time to gather their munitions and build atomic weapons that we will have to face. How idiotic can our leaders be, hoping for a diplomatic solution, and not doing something before being confronted with war that we may not be able to win or one that no one can win....but those who place no value on life. We continually procrastinate saying that we need to wait for the rest of the world when we know darn well that they will not join us. The longer we wait the weaker we appear to our enemies. WHY ARE ALL SO BLIND. No one wants war , but some war is better than all being dead.... or enslaved or mutilated or tortured... The enemy is winning by us doing nothing... AM I WRONG?
51. HEY ALL YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE...PROVE TO ME WERE BUSH LIED...
KEITH ,   NY,USA   (08.27.06)
He never lied... he acted on the intelligence that America had. So, stop YOUR LYING unless yougot proof.
52. OH YEAH...ABOUT IRAN HAVING NUKES...
KEITH ,   NY,USA`   (08.27.06)
No way can a fanatic like that raghead leader have a nuke. He already said what he would do with it. This world can not afford to allow mentality like that have such a destructive devise. Yes, I know, America is the only one who used it, but we saved millions of lives by using it. Japan would have fought to the last man, and sorry to say but we face the same threat with radical Islam. If any of you out there thinks we can take that chance then we know were you stand. Israel already with the threat of annihilation completly surrounding them on every border has proven themselves time and time again that they can be trusted with this weapon. Yet, radical Islam is combing the entire fallen communist blocks to find a nuke on the black market. This religion believes their own lies, and tries to get all of us too believe it, and you say its ok for them to have it? "It balances the threat in the region" one fool wrote. Just to let radical Islam in on a well known secret...The US has nuclear technology capable of being fired from a tank, one that can kill all the radicals at a jew killing concert and not hurt the microphones theyr'e shouting "allahahk bare" out of; and many other cute little things that would terrorize the terroists. Let me tell you another one... JEHOVAH JIRAH will never let you Radical Isalmist fundaMENTALS even come close to winning let alone converting His chosen and redeemed. As long as the Christians keep holding up the Jews arms, like Aaron held up Moses arms, in prayer during this war, victory will be Zions. YOU ARE FIGHTING A LOST WAR!!! BUT DON'T LISTEN TO ME! Keep teaching your children to hate; which is the worst type of child abuse, and how to strap on their suicide vests and then cry on the news "AAAAGHH, MMMYYYY POOOOOR DAUGHTER IS DEAD. THOSE JEWS BOMBED OUR HOUSE JUST BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO BLOW UP THEIR COFFEE SHOP!! DEATH TO ISRAEL, oh, amer, my son, I got a job for you. Go get your vest on. I know your only 10, but all those 70 virgins will teach how to have sex. Now go blow those innocent families up. Why? Did you forget?... thats right; because we hate them!!! good boy. Oh yes, I love you. YOU PATHETIC, SICK DISGUSTING, DAMMED, EXCUSE OF A HUMAN!! I won't even pray for your forgivness becaus of what you have done to those beautiful little children. BURN IN HELL FOR IT!! Father, please open the eyes of these wonderful little ones to the lies their wicked parents have taught them!! Let them see the truth through your eyes and the strength to walk away from it, in Jesus name. Amen
53. UN=League of Nations
Drumgoole ,   Newark NJ   (08.27.06)
When Italy invaded Ethiopia, The League of Nations did nothing despite the eloquent appeal of Ethiopia's leader, Haile Sellasie. This was a signal for the Axis Powers to launch WWII. In fact, the League was a paper tiger that did not enforce its resolutions. However, as useless as the League was, the UN is worse. Despite the UN's demand that Iran stop its uranium enrichment, the ayatollahs and Iran's version of Hitler laugh while communist China and Putin's Russia threaten to block sanctions. France also wants no part of enforcing the resolutions. Let's face it, with Russia, China, and France refusing to impose sanctions, US sanctions have no chance of succeeding. Considering that genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia,, and Darfur have occurred during the time of the UN and nothing was done, it is obvious that the UN is more than a corrupt and useless organization. It is an active force that prevents justice.
54. Iran can't have nukes
Kurt W ,   Naples Florida   (08.26.06)
Iran's leadership can not be allowed to develope nuclear technology. They are at war with the US and have been since the 1979 Revolution. We must use every means possible including our military to destroy Irans Nuclear ambitions.
55. Sanctions won't work
Sohail Khan ,   London   (08.27.06)
Forget sanctions as they won't work. I estimate that a sufficient budget be placed aside for the Iranian campaign. This is something that Israel may have to do Unilaterally for them selves. Strategically take out Irans facilities as they pose a threat to the Israeli people. The Iranian President does not speak for the Mullahs. Secular theocracies with a nuclear deterent is a bad combination.The Israeli leadership must be strong and not complacent. This is to make sure that the Israel deterrent remains strong against the Iranian front. The United Nations will dither over sanctions which will have no effect on Iran. To that effect the only option Israel can take would be a Unilateral stance.
56. Multilateralism 0, Iran 1, time to bom Iran
Ignacio ,   Zaragoza, Spain   (08.27.06)
Multilateralism 0, Iran 1, time to bom Iran. Olmert must go.
57. iran is making an ass out of the UN?
Alexander ,   cyprus   (08.27.06)
well i guess Iran can get a turn after the US and Israel's complete ingnorance of the UN epecially israel wich has throughout history failed to comply with UN resolutions, to list them will be useless as this website does not have the required space. take care and god help us all whatever his name is
58. ISRAELIS HAVE NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF
Lebanese ,   Lebanon   (08.26.06)
you have such smart politics & an invincible army that you must not be afraid of anything.LOL
59. Nuclear Iran
Joe Simon ,   Kfar Aviv, Israel   (08.27.06)
By the time everyone stops pussyfooting around, Iran will have accomplished its goal. Come on people, get moving and do something positive.
60. GO Iran!
john davies ,   united kingdom of ir   (08.27.06)
Iran has all the rights in the world to pursue this nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. If Israel and US have a problem, Tough! They both enjoy this technology and not only they have nuclear weapons, they even fail to admit they have these. such a Coward!! So why do They have a problem with Iran? Just because it is a muslim nation that has pioneered a major scientific advancement. Down with Israel and US. b***h.
