1. Ahmadinejad Needs Some Love And Compassion!
Rick ,   Austin   (12.19.06)
I guarantee you, that with a little bit of prodding and negotiations Ahmadinejad can be persuaded to give up his nukes and to stay out of Iraq and to stop supporting Hezbollah. He's just was never shown any love and compassion when he was a child! In essence, that's what the Iraq Study Group is recommending: Show the man a little bit of love and sympathy and see how easily he melts to such signs of affection! He really is a nice and decent man somewhere deep inside! If they would only search for that decency within him, it could be found within a few short decades........
2. let's do it Bush.......

3. Cowboy Tactics
Hani ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.19.06)
Bush only has ephemeral power. It has not lasted. He has expended all his political cards in Iraq with dire consequences. No sane official in Washington plans to attack Iran in any way except mouth diarhea. Ynet I suggest you pursue other productive journalism. Your articles are beginning to sound like National Enquirer. We can now expect Teheran to enjoy their ride in the nuclear park, harassment and headache free. Way to go Bush Segundo.
4. Euro is nail in the coffin
Henry ,   usa   (12.19.06)
Worse than nukes is Iran's abandoning the dollar for the Euro as payment for their oil. That will be the nail in the coffin and will be the real reason for a US attack on Iran.
5. No one afraid of Iran in fact
Atilla Karagözoğlu   (12.19.06)
These are all games. The US knows Iran's weapon capabilicity. They will Shut Iran Down. These are all tactic. You can count Iran's days. It is impossible to beat The US in war in today. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made big stratejic mistakes. (wipe out, holocaust, The Jews meeting, long letters... ; they were all strange signs of future lose And it is too late. Maybe He sold his country behind close doors. I dont know. I dont trust any world leader. we understand them in future. Let see, I hope Iran doesnt become like todays Iraq.
6. look out Ahmadinejad.........,
Saun ,   usa   (12.19.06)
maybe Hssan Nasrallah will let you share his bunker with him, i'm sure he wont mind to return a favor.....

You go looking for the inner child there, and you'll find either Damien or Chuckie.
8. And what they Going to Do
1.5 Billion Muslims   (12.19.06)
collective Curse Iran , Get real guys Iran will get Nukes and nobody can do anything . Period. Reality Check , World
9. 1.5 mil needs another slogan booooring!

10. Henry is Righton- Iran mustnt mess with trhe Dollar...
Alan ,   SA   (12.19.06)
besides the Euro is crap . Germany and Italy already want out of that Monopoly Money.
11. Iran keeps poking the sleeping Giant...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (12.19.06)
Didn't we already see this? Japan poked a little, Germany poked a little. What ever happened to those two? Oh yeah, they were destroyed, completely. So for all you losers out there, like the 1.5 billion Muslims (biggest losers of all time), remember history. If you repeat it, you are doomed. Iran will not get nuclear power, and they will sucumb to sanctions if they keep on playing this game. The people of Iran will not stand for this little monkey ruining their lives and he will be overthrown. The US will not even have to lift a finger.
12. Blow up the Iranian tugboats!!!
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (12.19.06)
I would just love to see a US destroyer blow up an Iranian tugboats..their navy is useless!!!
13. DR.....#11 USA NAVAL BUILDUP
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (12.19.06)
DR,You seem to be rejoicing at the mere news emanating from less reliable sources that the USA is considering build up of Naval power in the Persian Gulf.Let us together monitor this development.I am happy that you are rejoicing temporarily.However, how costly this excercise,if at all,implemented will be is yet to be observed by people like you.Don't start predicting so fast.Even the politicians are cautious these days.

Jellybean ,   Chicago   (12.19.06)
Monkeyboy's days are rather limited now, anyway since he got slapped during the elections.

Oggie Van Kenobi ,   C A N A D A   (12.19.06)
You should be ashamed talking like that. We should all be happy in Canada to have US for a neighbor and not some extremist country. Who do you think would protect us in any case of emergency…. And unfortunately I see that day is coming. US is the only country that still hold’s the balance in the world. Of course their politic is far from perfect but they are still holding back the crazy and extreme bunch of nuclear bomb making people and other duds that believe killing an infidel is god’s will. Our only hope for preserving our freedom, except US is our winter that might frost bite enemies nose off. Let us keep our freedom, eh?
16. Mahmood, Mahmud
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (12.19.06)
Your comments are very onesided and it is obvious that you side with evil over good. Do you not think the 3 Iranian games held over the last year were costly, how about there military buildup, SAM purchasing, no mention of any of this, do you possibly think that they could be there for Somalia? Quit picking apart comments from pro western people trying to make it sound evil, when Iran is doing just the same. Your hypocricy rings out throughout the world as seen by muslims from all countries. Want a prediction? Islams day is almost over, I give you 8 years till the end. When an Islamic war starts, I wouldn't want to be in the UK if I were you, just think about it for a moment, sure you get food and jobs, and freedom now, but if a west east war broke out, imagine the escalation of hate crimes in your neighbourhood, and the police will be there about as fast as muslims civilize

Jellybean ,   Chicago   (12.19.06)
You are right..remember in WW2 when Roosevelt put the Japanese in camps because the Americans we suspiciois of them....that can happen to the Arabs. Gitmo can spread!
18. Mahmood...no one is rejoicing here.
DR ,   Florida, USA   (12.19.06)
No one wants to see a war or people die. Except Ahmedinejad. He wants Islam to rule the world, he wants Israel to disappear from the ME and he wants western powers to fall. This will not happen, no matter how much you pray to Allah. Get used to the fact that Islam is the source of much of the world's problems and the worst thing is, that people like you never, ever condemn radiclas in your own ranks. All you do is point fingers (like a little child) and try to make everyone else look like the bad guy. You are delusional and keep denying reality. This is dangerous my friend and it gets people into trouble.

Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (12.19.06)
Yes that was a smart move. But I also remember when the government started with there political corectness crap, and gave compensation to the survivors because of the abuse done to them. That was the start of all this now. This buildup could be there to help the real government of Somalia too, people need to remember, Iran needs there whole navy to even resembe a fight where the US only needs one sub to finish Iran. So a buildup might not mean what people assume it mean. Anyways, we can't talk right now, cause your blackhawks beat my Oilers last week. Booooo. Just kidding, i like the original six teams, and I hope Savard and Havlat finally get them to a playoff appearance. We should write a letter to our MP's and tell them to hold off any offensive until the playoffs are over, lol. A true Canadian point of view. On a more joyous note, I have been celebrating the birth of my first born. A son. I named him Meric. :-) Named after the great continent of North America. Where the A means son of, in old british isle times.
20. DR.....TOTAL DEVIATION #18
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (12.19.06)
DR, with due respect, you have deviated from the point altogether.Readers are requested to read what DR wrote and my reply to the same.Talking of religion.......I am afraid, I never did that but I understand your stance.....when cornered,you deviate and talk about a different subject altogether.
21. Ryan
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (12.19.06)
Congrats!! I know I was surprised that they won...the Blackhawks are not doing so well. I could start w/ writing my Rep and ask him to stop all this after the playoffs, but I have to admit, not only do I love hockey but I love football, what about Da Bears!! They have been lucky I hope they win its been 21 years!!!
22. reason for iraq invasion coming to light
v. n.y. ,   usa   (12.19.06)
and this is precisely why we invaded iraq in the first place, no matter what kakameini bush sold us as the reason. he knew it'll come to that and wanted a presence on iranian borders.
23. #11
v. n.y. ,   usa   (12.19.06)
he's already been overthrown. in the rfecent ellections he was made a joke. no one wanted or elected him. it was a total embarassment for him. the moderate/conservatives won hands down and everyone seems to favor rasfanjani. don't know his politics or stance on issues. remains to be seen, but i believe ahmi is on his last leg. riots and demonstration by a countgry with a very very young population that wants to disco, party, express opinions freely and keep their anti regime professors employed instead of thrown out of universities.
24. #19

congratulation on the birth of your son from this israeli and millions like us. may god keep him and your family safe.
25. What lies. 15
AR ,   USA   (12.20.06)
Actually this naval buildup has been their since just before the elections. Well history check people ever since its inception the USA has been at war with one group or country almost without exception. Really america isnt an exremist country we just cant stop killing someone some where. Its a free country we are free to kill people so our businesses can have their way with the worlds resources. Times are changing politicians have become expert in covering up the real reason for wars. We all know what we are doing in the middle east. Their is no reason what so ever to go to war with iran and every one knows it. Personally i believe the "war on terror" is probably the most oxymoronic phrase ive ever heard a president say. "WAR" on "TERROR" how can you make a war (which is terrorism...americans dont know this because their country has never been bombed or occupied) to fight terrorism (terrorism is a tactic). American buddies are very frustrated with their own country. I myself am. Our government lies to us almost all the time. They lie to the world all the time. I want the people of the world to know that here in america their are a lot of people who disagree with what our country is doing not just to us but to the world. Sadly it will take something like the draft to change things here. Honestly tho america is a terrorist state i would like to see someone make the arguement that we are not. (can anyone tell me why we went to war with afghanistan and iraq when the terrorist were from saudi arabia, jordan, egypt all of our "allies" dose anyone else find that absolutley rediculous) And can anyone tell me why no one was fired after 9/11 for failing to protect us. Not one person lost their job but we went to war with 2 nations. This is all BS. If America goes to iran their wont be an end to body bags coming out of the ME. And Iranians arent gonna stand bye and let their people get killed for oil they will bring the war to america and definently to israel so i hope you pro war idiots are prepared to see your families in a war zone because this war wont ever end and it wont be fought soley in iran.
26. AR - Is the product of a failed public education
Johnson ,   USA   (12.20.06)
system. How can anyone retort such blind ignorance?
27. What was ignorant about what i said Johnson?
AR ,   USA   (12.20.06)
Please educated me.
28. AR=Stupid
Billy Bob ,   Freedomland, USA   (12.20.06)
The US has never been occupied or bombed? War of 1812, American Revolution anyone? We are a terrorist state? Why don't you move to France? You need to explain to ME how we are a terrorist state. It's on your shoulders to make an argument because you made the statement. You have nothing to back it up except bind hate. Those terrorists were TRAINED in Afganistan, we demanded that the camps be shut down and OBL be handed over to us. The Taliban told us to go to hell, so we just threwdown. Period. That's why we went into Afganistan. Did you forget 9/11? You are a simple minded idiot. The whole ME could form a military front against the USA and we would STILL win. Get a life, better yet, get an education. Peace out.
29. Ok billy bob.
AR ,   USA   (12.20.06)
Ill give you the war of 1812 (revolutionary war dosnt count because we werent a country yet) either way that was almost 200 years ago. Back then it was mostly soldiers being killed not civilians. Ok this is why we the great usa is a terrorist state. We are the #1 arms dealer to the entire world. We put the dictators in power to terrorize the people of their country so we can take their resources. We attacked iraq for no reason what so ever. (For the afghanistan arguement the taliban told us to show them proof that bin laden did it and they would turn him over we of course had no proof thats why they didnt turn him over, plus we trained al qaida in the first place, they learned how to fly planes in AMERICA and the CIA taught them how to sneek box cutters on to airplanes (all of these are facts bye the way) If you remember 9/11 so well you would no that it wasnt until the Jalalabd tape surficed that we had "proof" but if you look at it know you will see that the man in that tape couldnt possibly be Osama. Here do me a favor go to the FBI website go to the terrorist page and click on osama see if he is wanted for 9/11 honestly the guy isnt even responsible which is the cruel joke in all of this. This reporter asked a guy from the FBI why Bin Laden wasnt on the list for the September 11 attacks and the FBI guy said because their isnt sufficient evidence to say he was. Your dumbass will believe anything people tell you. Check this ever since its inception america has never been at peace. War is terrorism thats why america is a terrorist state we have been at war forever. Billy look at history realistically. How many people do you think died in our war in the Philipines. Im not talking about world war 2. over 800,000 is that in your history book at school NO the shity BS. spanish american war a 3 month long war is in your book but the 8 year philipines war isnt. Dont feel so bad its not the first time our government has lied to us Spanish war, vietnam, afghanistan, iraq, its almost the governments job to lie to us what we should do is question them. Dont trade your humanity for patriotism buddy.
