1. Iran's Nukes Are Not Flukes
Dave Levi ,   Los Angeles. USA   (11.13.06)
So far, I see nothing that assures me the US (and Israel) will not tolerate Iran's nuclear ambitions. For several years now, Iran has been stalling for time, always moving along technologically with it's ambitions. Their not so bright President has been telling US where to go since his election, with no reservations on threatening Israel with total destruction (and of course, denying that 6m Jews were murdered during WW2, in spite of German's own thorough records). There are voices of conciliation with Iran and Syria right now becoming more assertive (Baker, Carter, Buchanan, Biden, Pelosi, the NYTimes, etc.). The election of Lieberman is a plus for security, but countered by pro-Arab representatives, mainly from Michigan State. Rumsfeld's dismissal bodes poorly for an aggressive stance against the worldwide Jihadists. A defeat of Bolton will be another nail in our coffin. We are in a world war with the Islamic facists, just as we were with Hitler's Germany, Italy and Japan, 60 years ago. But this time, they have the atomic bomb.
2. Pres. Bush and PM Olmert

4. Bush still in pre-Iraq mindset. Wars for Israel not possible
r franks ,   usa   (11.13.06)
5. #1: US can't fight 1.5 billion Muslims to make Israel safe
r franks ,   usa   (11.13.06)
Let's face it, Israel occupies holly Muslim land, kills scores of Muslims daily. Before Israel, there was no problem between the US and the Muslim world and prior to Israel, 100% of US wars and casualties have been with Christian countries. The US can’t afford to have another war to make Israel feel safer in occupying Palestine and killing Muslims. US has 300 millions Americans to care of.
6. More Talks
Brod ,   USA   (11.13.06)
Talks and more talks do not work with FANATICAL Islamist-Jihadist regime. The latter likes all the time- delaying talks so that it will have ample time to complete its nukes. If people think that more talks will produce the desired results, then they are resorting to simplistic solutions in dealing with a complex problems Simplistic thinking is as good as dwelling in fantasyland.
7. thank you #4

9. IRAN
Richard Gonzalez ,   REDLANDS USA   (11.13.06)
Mr Bush says he won't negotiate with Iran. So how does he expect "compromises" to occur?

The biggest threat to Peace is Islamist-Jihadism.
15. Idiots who support Iran and Oppose US and Isarel...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.13.06)
The world is free thanks to the US. The muslim world has a problem with all infidels if you haven;t noticed. They even kill other muslims who want to break away from their Islamo-fascist movements. All you jibberish about USrael and neo-cons etc...is just bullshit. The smart people of the world can recognize a threat when they see one, and Iran is a threat.
16. #5 Nice try D-Bag
Konstantine   (11.13.06)
1)Define muslum land? Will Darfur after they kill all the Christians become Muslum land? Huh Jack-__s. Are all the 22 Arab countries that were collectivly Genocided upon from one little city called Madina now considered Muslum land? Don't even begin to tell me that Imperial Islam did not kill everyone who would not convert, just like Osama set up in Darfur, which is happening now! 2)During Hitler's time, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem visited Hitler, before Israel, and joined the Furer and his crazy campaign to kill the Jews AKA Genocide. www.Tellthechildrenthetruth.com You are misguided, and apparantly misinformed.

19. Nuclear Iran is good for the ME

20. Jacques #11 Switzerland: Swiss are war criminals not Israel
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (11.13.06)
Jacques from Switzerland. Bush and Olmert are not war criminals; the Swiss are. Read about WW2. And antisemitic to boot.
21. To 7 - wrong
Shai ,   Israel   (11.13.06)
The American Navy was established to deal with Morroccan pirates pestering American fleets. The navy beat the crap out fo them and that problem went away. Also, many of the Arab countries were not established prior to Israel, or were still protectorates of Britain or France. Israel preceded them. the problems arose rather with the establishment of the Arab states and their desire to have a pan-Arab continuous Arab presence along teh entire south rim of the Medeterranean until the Gulf of Arabia. Israel was in a rather inconvenient spot then - right at the juncture of the African and Asian continents. In any case, the US wasn't "involved" with Israel until after the 6 day war in 1967. Until then, Israel's major allies were the French (believe it or not).
22. Why do you people go around peoples statements to make point
USA   (11.14.06)
#21... what you say may be true but Like number 5 said. Israeli (european russian jews) are occupying muslim (arab) lands. The arabs didnt hate america until america started protecting israel and messing with there countries. America would not be were it is today if it wasnt for israel. 9/11 wouldnt have happened had it not been for israel and ill explain. Osama said 9/11 happened because the US. had troops in his holy land (saudi arabia) why were us troops there (to protect the oil) IF israel didnt exist we would have just trained and better equiped the saudi's to protect the land and there wouldnt have been an issue but because israel exist we cant just go and hook up a country that invaded israel with all the cool weapons we give to israel right know. Israel is making things very difficult for the us in the middleeast and around the world. IF the us would stop supporting israel we just might be able to rebuild our reputation as an honest country. Maybe you israelis might understand how others hate you for what you do and how much on your side america is. The US just vetoed a resolution that would condem your country for their recent massacre. What happened the Arab countries got pissed and said they wouldnt support the financial blockade on the palestinian government. Even israel said what they did was wrong and the US still vetoed it. Thats some BS right there.
23. BUSH SHOULD SHUT HIS TRAP HES ABOUT TO GET IMPEACHED ANYWAY
USA   (11.14.06)
24. BOMBS AWAY-BUSH WILL BOMB IRAN'S NUKE SITES
DEBRA ,   USA   (11.14.06)
BEFORE HE LEAVES OFFICE. HE HAS SAID THAT HE WILL NOT LEAVE A NUCLEAR IRAN AS HIS LEGACY. I BELIEVE HIM. THE NECESSITY OF FIGHTING THE WAR ON TERROR IS HIS STRONGEST BELIEF. PLUS, IN A RECENT OPINION POLL, 67% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT A MILITARY ATTACK ON IRAN'S NUCLEAR FACILITIES. SO THAT GIVES BUSH THE MANDATE HE NEEDS.
25. It's The Same Neon Stuff
George Kingdon ,   Quincy, MA, USA   (11.14.06)
Reading this just reminds me that the neocons, along with a lot of Washington-based hawks, have thoroughly conflated American and Israeli interests, to the detriment of U.S. foreign policy. They (dis)honestly believe our interests and Israel's are congruent. They are wrong. And as Americans we should debate this, especially given how important Israel is to many neocons and rightwing Jewish-Americans who pushed for war with Iraq and are now gearing up for the same with Syria and Iran.
26. BUSH: say good bye to IRAK and say "hello we're here.. IRAN
(11.14.06)
27. #22 USA
The Great Satan ,   USA   (11.14.06)
We're going to move the Pals and Hezzies next door to you.
28. Bush
Robert Carey ,   Brisbane Australia   (11.14.06)
Those who matter in the USA of a sound mind will not allow Bush to commit another folly like attacking Iran. It is indeed fortunate that there are some people with influence in the US who will soon put the reins on this excuse for a president. Bush should not be in the whitehouse, he should be in the nuthouse. He is now at his most dangerous. A time just after a humiliating defeat when he will attempt to re-assert his mythical authority.
29. DEBRA
USA   (11.15.06)
What poll are you talking about a FOX NEWS Poll or a Jewish American Poll. You always have something stupid to say with nothing to back it up. Do you know what would happen if the US bombed iran. WAR. and it wont be like iraq or afghanistan iran hasnt been sanctioned and bombed into submission for a decade like iraq. You should join the army. Youll get your wig pealed the second you get out of the helecopter. These are the guys who trained Hezbollah they arent the republican gaurd their straight up killers.
30. #29...wow...scary stuff!!!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.15.06)
"straight up killers"...oh no, should we hide now? You probably said the same thing during the Gulf war...mother of all wars my ass. Iran definitely has better technology than Iraq (thanks to Russia and China), BUT, those monkeys couldn't win a war against one Aircraft carrier. Hopefully you are leaving the US soon ( if you even live here) because we don't need scumbags like you in our country. If Iran is dumb enough to start shit with the US, then maybe you are dumb anough to go fight with them.
