Watchman777 ,   USA   (10.14.06)

4. Boo hoo
Jake ,   NC, USA   (10.15.06)
the "woe is me" victime card being played again... it's getting old! Fight your own battles and leave us out of it!
5. Do not fool yourselves
Bechor   (10.15.06)
If we do this alone, the price for this war will be far too high. If Israel goes at it alone, who says that Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and the other Muslim countries will not join Iran? Iran's military power in sheer manpower (with reserves) is several million strong, along with a modern airforce and navy. With help from the other Muslims, even if Israel does win, we will pay for this war with the lives of tens - maybe even hundreds of thousands of Jews - both civilians and soldiers. We cannot use our nuclear weapons unless it is a very last resort, because as soon as we have used them the international community will confiscate the rest at the end of the war. Do we really have a choice? We must wait for the Americans.
6. Israel - Be Circumspect!
The Sage ,   Golden State, USA   (10.15.06)
After reading the above article, I have no choice but to talk back with the following comments on this note. Considering the sundry developments we now see evolving in the Asiatic Nation of North Korea becoming a nuclear power; I call on my Israeli friends to BE AWARE! The time has come, my friends and brothers to be very circumspect and aware of the current manifest trends. May Israel now arise and be very tactful to watch the nuclear activities of Iran and all hostile nations and organizations in this axis. Beware of Iran! The Boys Scout Motto hails, "Be Prepared." I call on my Israeli friends and brothers to be prepared in these times. Harness your offensive and defensive resources and be alert. I stand solidly behind you my friends. Shalom!
7. Three more weeks till the elections are over.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (10.15.06)
Then we will see if Bush has brass balls! Iran and North Korea may both receive American help with nuclear weapons. We'll drop them on their countries! Israel has my permission! Give them what they want---a holocaust. Maybe the twelth idiot, or imam, will show up miracously. Aren't we all fed up with their sh*t yet? I am!

12. 3 Its true Iran is a fascist state, that for the most
freedom ,   canada   (10.15.06)
part prohibits real freedom of speech. This in itself is a sin against god. To me false leaders lead Iran. And in the end the quest for aggressive nuclear power, will be the downfall of the corrupt mullahs and leadership in Iran.
13. You mean Ahmed ElBaradei?
John ,   NZ   (10.15.06)
Winner of 2003 Nobel Peace Prize? IAEA chief? Sorry, he's in love with Iran's Ali Larijani http://noiri.blogspot.com/2006/07/el-baradei-betrays-his-own-iaea-staff.html What a joke!!!! So this is another UN cork-up. The rest of the world will never learn until Iran gets its nuke weapon. Then, try to remember my name.

"Fight your own battles and leave us out of it?" Jake, I have a newsflash for you. We're in this up to our necks and if you think only Israel is under an Iranian threat, you've got another thing coming. And Iran doesn't have to attack us directly, they have a cadre of terrorist flunkies who are just itching to take down the mighty USA. Do you know anything about a man named Shukrijuma? At the moment, he's probably the most dangerous human being on earth as far as America is concerned.
15. Do what is right
Brod ,   USA   (10.15.06)
Israel has to do what is right to protect its people by preventing a mushroom cloud from ever reaching its shore. While it is good to depend on Big Brother, it would still be Israel's main responsibility to do what is right for its national security. Big Brother will stand behind and do what is necessary in the aftermath.
16. To Jake (#4)
Jasmin ,   Haifa   (10.15.06)
It must be very comfortable for you to think that this is strictly an Israeli problem that doesn't concern you. A nuclear Iran would be the world's problem -- ignore it at your peril.
17. For #4 (Jake from NC)
Joan ,   Haifa   (10.15.06)
Jake, haven't you ever heard the Iran refers to the U.S.A. as "The Great Satan"? You are deluding yourself by thinking this is only an Israeli concern.
18. #4 Jake
Ram ,   London   (10.15.06)
It is "always" a mistake to believe that such a danger will not affect "us". The world should unite in eliminating such dangers so we can live in a more paceful world. History has taught us all this fact!
19. An EMP weapon over Iran...
Craig ,   USA   (10.17.06)
Israel, don't wait for the U.S., these maniacs have called for your annihilation as a race!! You don't need the USA to give you permission. The world will condemn you and then breathe a sigh of relief, just as they did when you took out the Iraqi reactor. Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and others will secretly rejoice...they fear Iran. You don't have to land nukes on their soil anyway...A couple detonated appropriately in their airspace will create an EMP wave sufficient to send them back to the stone age. If oil goes to $150.00 per barrel, and crashes the world stock markets...too bad, we will all recover. It will be ever more worse if you wait until they strike first...worse for the world and for Israel. Alas, your current appeasing leftist leaders are as weak as most of the rest of the world's leaders...how sad. America will back you up if you act while President Bush is still in office (and I am no real fan of the President.) All Israel, return to your God, pray and fast, He will hear.
20. Craig's right.
(10.17.06)
21. Preventive Atack on Iran?
Jose Nigrin ,   USA   (10.17.06)
There is no way of taking Iran by ourselves, we need the help of the US and the Western countries. Just giving them a blow to their atomic preparation sites, like the one on Irak, years ago, wont solve the protection of Israel.
