Only complete ignoramuses find that facts make them laugh. Your ignorance is so blatant, that, accompanied by your blatant racism, it calls for no further response. Write whatever you like, I will not waste any more time answering you.
32. Get arabs or US to destroy Iran
Zico ,   Brazil   (09.07.06)
I dont think israel can risk sending their armed forces to attack iran. The israeli soldiers are crucial in protecting borders and occupied areas. The smarter way is to get arabs to fight iranians thus making iranians busy and distracted. Both iranians and arabs will get weaker at no cost to israel. Another option is to get americans or british to destroy iran for israel. Also at no cost to israel. The smartest way to weaken or destroy your enemies is to get others to fight and die for you. it's cheaper and more efficient. Gulf war in the early 90s has proven that it works.

Andy ,   London   (09.07.06)
Who needs monkey presidents making threats when the biggest monkey, George Bush shows up on TV every day threatening people left right and centre? If someone did threaten the UK with destruction, I would first of all ask myself why? Why would someone go to the trouble of threatening the existence of my state? Could it be because I kill children and deny people basic human rights and have been doing so for the last 60 years? Yes it could! As for Hezbullah, you say the IDF learned from this war and I completely agree. They learnt that they cannot fight and win as they are in the wrong and do not believe in what they are fighting for. This will only get worse for the IDf in time.

39. You have Andy's word: Iran's gone Nuclear!
Steve G ,   Kew gardens,NYC   (09.07.06)
Andy from London has informed us earlier in the talkbacks that Iran has nuclear weapons. I think the entire world should act on that knowledge. You know, to 'Do What's Appropriate'. In a serious note: I think Andy should point us to pro-Israel posts on talkbacks in Arab media.
40. Iran IS a flying bomb

41. Muslimin!
Majnoon al Amriki   (09.07.06)
Muslimin - writnig from London. I have acouple of points to make to you. First, stop bragging about Iran. Most muslims are Sunna -and there have been NUMEROUS fatwas again shiites. You KNOW this. While you think , fine, let Iran destroy Israel and overthrow the corrupt ruling family in KSA, YOU, Sunni, will be ruled by a kufr. And the kafir who is most like is most dangerous. You KNOW that, also. Be glad Israel is there for you to vent your hatred. While you're hating the yahud, hate the other KUFR, the SHI'I. My other point is that it is NOT an issue of deterrent but a STRATEGIC plan to dominate the mid-east and the world. Maybe people should stop trying to wake up the WEST and wake up the 3rabin!
42. ATTEMPTED ANSWER TO #21
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (09.07.06)
You have misconcieved a Muslims attitude towards a Jew.If you lump up the whole lot and make a common statement than it becomes difficult to explain.However,ponder into the foreign policies at STATE level during the past........let's say 25 to 30 years of USA and some other Western countries.For instance, the present USA policy towards almost all the Muslim countries and too much of talks about terrorism is in fact causing more problems rather than declining.It's a very complex and we need to discuss in depth to understand fellow human feelings.Trust me that all that you read about Muslims hatred is NOT true.There are people behind all these to keep their arms industry afloat.It is a complex and extremely sophisticated moves that make some countries achieve their goals.While we sit at home and render abuses to each other without knowing what we are doing and who is causing further damage to the human society.
43. Im sorry for my stupid messages

46. This must be stopped NOW
Avraham   (09.07.06)
Iran, a beautiful country was hijacked during the revolution. Iran is ruled by fanatic, hard liners who are 12er Shiites. They have weapons which until now, only the super powers have had and they WILL use it in the attempt to bring the Imam Madhi. It's not a secret and it's openly spoken about within Iran. I want to weep when I think about the result of military action again Iran. The result of INACTION will be magnitudes worse, though. The Iranian infrastructure MUST be brought down or the entire world will be brought down. I'm really anti-war but I'm pro-war for valid reasons and IRAN'S actions and INTENT and CAPABILITY are valid reasons for the coming war. It MUST be initiated and completed - not forestalled. Every delay enhances their capabilities. If action is delayed, the entire world will endure greater suffering.

It's funny to see how people wasted their time answering you. By the way, i forgot to mention, you might want to learn how to speak english before you write all those comments. Oh, and one last thing, God will destroy all people like you, just wait and see...

51. It seems Bush's strategy starting to work
Steve ,   USA   (09.07.06)
B"H There is no point in Iran's showing off of its new capabilities unless it is trying to convince someone it is well-prepared for war. And there is no reason to be well-prepared for war unless it is unwilling to move forward diplomatically. The Bush move for diplomacy seems wise. The Iranian "show of strength" seems to be more a show of weakness to me. If Iran were truly strong, it would not need such shows. It is time for Iran to get off its high horse and negotiate this issue to resolution. The world is standing firm, and why should Iran pay a higher price than needed. It can keep its sovereignty. It can keep its conventional weapons. It can keep its warplanes. It can keep its laser-guided bombs. But can it keep its communication clear enough to assure that it has not built up all this machinery for an offensive war like Hisbullah just launched on Israel? It is communicating something very different and very tragic for its country. Suck it up, negotiate, and move forward would be my advice to them. Surely they have more brains to think that they can actually dupe the world long-term. The Iranians are very smart people. This nuclear bomb acquisition is a high-horse they need to climb down from. It is not defending them from anything right now, and simply causing them a lot of trouble. If Iran is going to fall, it will be because of its beligerance as far as I can tell. The pride of acquiring a military nuclear arsenal is making the country beligerant and damaging its national interests. The destruction as I see as the natural outcome is such a shame for the entire people living there. Iran, for your sake, change your course.
52. MAHMOOD the question dodger
Reason ,   Canada   (09.07.06)
#21 asked why YOU hate Israel and the west. He did not ask for some vaguely altruistic comment about how muslims are. YOU are constantly posting comments in favour of islamofachism. Why do you live in London if you love these people so much? I will field this one for you: you, or your family, left your middle east country because of oppresion. you came to the UK to start a new life. There was only one problem, you lacked education so you cant get a good job. now that you cant blame your problems on your godlike rulers anymore you blame them on your new democratic rulers. there is a reason you are out of work and poor. get an education my friend, or educate your children. that is the reason you are poor. stop blaming people for your problems.
53. to some of the american jews on this site
melvin ,   u.s. of a   (09.08.06)

54. #44 - Righto! And Russia is "warming" to sanctions
Truth ,   USA is coming   (09.08.06)
"Lebanese Security" Is the Pretext for the Naval Babel around Lebanon's Shores DEBKAfile Exclusive Military Report The extraordinary buildup of European naval and military strength in and around Lebanon's shores is way out of proportion for the task the European contingents ...to create a buffer between Israel and Hizballah. ..."Lebanese security" and peacemaking is not the object... It is linked to the ...anticipation of a military clash between the United States and Israel v. Iran and possibly Syria...some time from now until November This expectation has brought together the greatest sea and air armada Europe has ever assembled at any point on earth since World War II: 2 carriers with 75 fighter-bombers, spy planes and helicopters on their decks; 15 warships of various types – 7 French, 5 Italian, 2-3 Green, 3-5 German, and 5 American; thousands of Marines – French, Italian and German, as well as 1,800 US Marines. ...if not for Lebanon, what is this fine array of naval power really there for? European ...naval presence ...to prevent ...possible Iranian-US-Israeli war igniting ...Iranian long-range Shahab missile attack on Europe; second, ... deterrent to ...Syria and Hizballah from opening a second front against American-Israel from their eastern Mediterranean coasts. Numbers alone do not do justice to the immense operational capabilities and firepower amassed opposite Lebanon. Take first the three fleet flagships. The USS Mount Whitney (the tallest snowcapped peak in the United States)...[the] most sophisticated command and control suite in the world. US Vice Admiral J. "Boomer" Stufflebeem, formally titled Commander of Joint Task Force Lebanon...can flash intelligence data to EVERY American commander at any point between the eastern Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf and Iran. 1. The American forces opposite Lebanese shores are under direct US command. Since the ...debacle of an American peace force under the UN flag in Somalia, Washington has never again placed its military under UN command. (There is no American contingent in the UNIFIL ground force either.). In other words, USS Mount Whitney, while serving the European fleets as their operational and intelligence nerve center will stay under the sole command of Vice Admiral Stufflebeem in all possible contingencies. [NOT UN] [Take a hike Kofi!] 2. ...the NATO fleet will remain under NATO command, [US is #1 NATO Nation] ...Israel's air and naval units will take their orders from Israeli Navy Headquarters in Haifa and the General Staff in Tel Aviv. ____________________________http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=1208
55. #43 Andy, you're pathetic
(09.08.06)
56. 26 - Quit perpetrating.
(09.08.06)
You're not Christian. A. Scripture says on Judgement Day it's too late to accept Christ. So you're presenting scriptural falsehood. B. Scripture shows that those remaining in Israel after the coming devastation will call on and finally recognize Christ. He will spectacularly fight for, save and deliver them. C. God never said anything about Israel renaming to "Nation of Christ". Revelation has Israel greatly honored forever with the names of the 12 Tribes of Israel emblazoned in precious jewels on the temple gates and foundations, and still named Israel. D. Millions of Christians are already on Israel's side. You're trying to put Jews off and present Christians as the stereotypical picture of insensitive, heavyhanded presumption. Please quit trying to create division. Accepting Christ is a free-will personal choice to all. All a Christian can do is provide information. If the person wants to hear it great. Better yet, if the person wants to search scripture for themselves, best! If not, there is nothing the Christian can do. God said, "Seek me and YOU WILL FIND ME, when you seek me with ALL YOUR HEART." God put a natural love for Israel in all true Christians' hearts. Therefore, we continue to pray for and support Israel, in gratitude for bringing the Word of God (The Bible: Torah, Tanakah and New Testament) and salvation through Messiah Christ. ================= Messiah & Israel in Prophesy Messiah http://theprophecies.com/Messiah1.html Torah, Tanakah & New Testament Prophesies Mesh http://theprophecies.com/propheciespage.html The Prophesies e-Book: Read entire book Free on-line (153 pages) http://theprophecies.com/book/prophecies.pdf
57. Don't wet your pants
Big Bill ,   Springfield, MA   (09.08.06)
Iran is no threat to the USA. If it does anything we wipe it off the map from a comfortable 10,000 mile distance. No problem. Of course Israel's Jews and Persia's Arab neighbors next door do have a problem. I suggest Jews and Arabs take whatever measures they deem necessary to deal with the Persians. As far as America is concerned, we can melt Iran into shimmering layer of glass crusting the Persian desert any time we feel like it. You are in a bit different situation, though. Frankly, I don't know why you Zionists wanted to move to such a dinky outpost that is in such danger all the time. But whatever the reason, you need to grow a backbone, put some lead in your pencil and take matters in hand if you want to be taken seriously by the rest of the world. Jews are tough, right? Sabras are tougher. So act like it. And stop wailing that "the world" or "the nations" should do something. You have nukes. So use them. Be a nation like any other nation.
58. Use biological wpns on Iran
Jim ,   Baghdad, Iraq   (09.08.06)
These middle eastern countries are nothing more than nomads with oil money. They arent mature enough to design anything so they just modify others peoples work. Time to eliminate then...not appease. Not scare them either. It's time to use biological weapons so every man, woman, and child will no longer be a threat to humankind.
