Instead of looking for ways to prevent this diplomatically this lunatic is trying to stir up another war. If there is a threat it is fueled primarily by the Israeli/American occupations of other people's land.

The Iranians have been shouting "death to america" since the shaw left and has been trying to assemble a way to do that since. Dont scoff at what the leadership of iran is saying, they beleive it, so should you. Take them at their word thanx, bill

and whats most ironic that Peretz spoke at the conference of being able to talk and negotiate with Hamas...........and hes our fraggin defense minister! vit #17 loved your scenario.

It only took you 15 minutes to write that? Thanks, I found it really encouraging. I know you were hoping to hear from a seething progressive but it looks like a lot of people liked your post!

We don't need people who run when their enemies approach.

My American Indian self would be happy to get my land back from you. Don't complain....when you have contributed to the same problem. It makes you look hypocritical to say the least.

Comes to Israel to bad mouth Iran , loog Perle , Gingrich and Some Neo -Con who were Advocating War on Iraq . If israel Public listening these Guys and hope they will save them from Unfounded Threat I feel soory 4 them( Israel) Reality Check , world

they probably would want to kill me.

"death to America?"

No way will it happen , If a nuclear missile would to hit jerusalem that would just kill the teaching of the Holy Bible and Tanakh and the end-times prophecies About Jerusalem. thats why I believe a comming attack upon Iran is very close.Not years, not months , but days away.

well said. so it'll be interesting to see who's left when the shit hits the fan. i feel it will be happening very soon. all these diversions have been keeping our attention elsewhere and now the trap is sprung i beleive. get ready !!

Israel will save the US before the US saves Israel.

As far as I understand, Iran doesn't have the capability to develop nuclear weapons at current, their best enrichment level is something 4%? You need at least 90% for weapons grade plutonium. Put economic pressure on Russia, to stop them from selling any more S-300's or any further nuclear technology , or push for regime change, Ahmedinejad must go but military action is suicide for the US and for Israel !!

Newt hits it right on the head once again. Liberals who hide their head in the sand will never get it until cities disappear. As sad as it makes me to say it, this is what it will take to make libs want to defend our great country.

Why ANY Jew would ever vote for a liberal-socialist-commiecrat is so far beyond my comprehension, it's scary!

Don't know what moron selected the photo, but it certainly is not a nuke - it's just a plain old, everyday refinery !

All I can say is I hope you're right. As horrific as it will be, the alternative is unthinkable. The Israeli strike on Iran had better happen within the next year or so - it's a small window of opportunity. Theoretically, Ahmadinijad is far more of a threat to humankind than Hitler and Stalin combined.

Can't let it happen, wouldn't be prudent at this juncture!

Newt is absolutely right. We are in a war with Islam that will not end through talking. They openly joke about our policies, and openly talk of destroying the US and Israel. We are appraoching this like it is a political conflict that can be addressed like any other conflict. They cannot compromise. They are doing this because they think their god told them too. We need Newt to run in 08!

Ingrid in San Francisco needs to get her head out of the clouds and listen to what Iran's leaders are saying, what all of the Islamic extremists are saying. They want Isreal and the US annihilated and they aren't shy about preaching their adgenda. Liberals just can't see for the forest through the trees and we are all going to pay a terrible price for their shortsightedness. Just wait and see. Of course if Newt is right, Ingrid and San Francisco might not be left standing and Ingrid will go to her grave in ignorance and denial.

Would someonr please take the purple kool-aid away from Ingrid. She is coming close to an overdose. Either thar or she is drowning in pure ignorance.

Do you not follow world events, read history, or pay attention to what our enemies are saying? You delude yourself. You've been seduced by being safe and free all of your life and like wild animals maintained in public parks, you've lost your survival instinct. Nature does not suffer well any species that refuses to defend itself. Better pick out the colors of your prayer rug before all the good ones are taken.

Who keeps saying he is going to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Once again we have the people sitting back, thinking it is only talk. He people had took notice of what Churchill said in 1936 and acted. HOW MANY LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED.

Where is the proof that Iran is "crazy". Are they occupying the west bank, golan heights, bombing Gaza daily? Are the Iranians occupying Iraq and Afgnasitan? Are there Iranian Carrier strike groups in the Gulf of Mexico? Give me a War that Iran started? What was the last country to have WMDs used on IT? (Iran.) Who supplied them (USA). Who attacked Iran in 1987-1988 while supporting Saddam Hussein (USA). Who topled the elected Iranian Government in the 1950s and put in a US stooge (THE USA). Iran is also Shi'te and HATES sunni muslims such as Bin Laden. A war on Iran is insane. poster #17 laid out his fantasy about a US/Israel attack on Iran. He failed to mention 2 things. The destruction of the Western economy by $200 dollar a barrel oil and the death of tens of thousands of Americans in Iraq who are sitting ducks, scattered in undefendable positions close to the Iranian border and relying on a 500 mile supply line through Shia controlled area.

You are delusional if you think there is a diplomatic solution. Israel lives every moment witht the reality that radical Islam is committed to it's total destruction and says so repeatedly. This is not right wing propagamda. just a fact. You are a classic appeaser, a modern day Chamberlain. Now you will have to go look it up and find out who Chamberlain was, since you surely don't know.

The man's (Ahmadenijad) own words contradict your idiocy. He wants to destroy Israel, the US, and Britian. What do you not understand about that? Do you know any Jews comfortably living in Iran? No, Ma'am, you don't. You don't know anything about which you comment.

Ingrid Stoudt insists that "Persians are no threat to Israel?" Than why is Ahmadinejad holding conferences and contests to debase Jews and insist the Holocaust never occurred? Why is he always threatening Israel with destruction? Are you blind and deaf? Do you read his comments? If Iranians view themselves as no threat to the Jews, they must get Admadinejad OUT of office. They voted for him, not the rest of the World! sanjosemike

"Scare tactics" by the "Christian Right"? To what end? Open a history book once in a while. If you can't see the monumental threat imposed by Islamists, you are already doomed. Just another secular progressive who is more concerned about the so-called "diversity" of other nations, rather than seeing the huge threat to YOUR country. If "Persia" is so wonderful, why don't you move there? See how it compares.

What propoganda are you talking about? The one where President Ahmadinejad himself talks about destroying the US and the "Zionist regime of Israel"? Was 9/11 not enough? Do you need a few more attacks on US soil to finally realize, heh, there are a group of individuals who are really looking to destroy the US? Or would those also be considered "Right Wing propoganda" and "scare tactics"?
