Wonder how much Iran paid North Korea to get the results.

The tempo of keeping the issue of Iran's nuclear technology progress alive is working very well in the media.For the sake of it,new articles keep on appearing every other day.Since Israel has installed the listening device, we,as readers, will learn of any development.Why the noise even before anything has happened?

has been happening all along. Just my take on this, but it seems that Iran's program was developing a little to quickly, unless they were mentored along the way.

Well looks like soon the mad mullahs will have the bomb thanks for Pakistan and North Korea and the world will once again be a dangerous place, where one day we could wake up to a nuclear war if the grand ayatollah decideds to. Israel has been threatened with annilation by Iran and had done nothing, the Yishuv needs to wake up and see what is happening today. There is a war on between us and radical islam. I just hope and pray we get the leaders strong enough to see us through this crisis and onto that place where we realise that Israel was promised by g-d to us and not to anyone else. Baruch hashem.

Before you dismiss this all as a mild joke consider this. Iran is spending an enormous % of her revenues almost to the point of impoverishing her people. And why? To pursue a nuclear bomb? And when thats done, can Iranians eat the bomb? Can the bomb create schools and improve education? Can the bomb reduce unemployment? And whats the bomb for? To create a toy for Ahmadinejad to look macho and cool? It certainly has nothing to do with security. Its just pathetic.

Cy,I don't necessarily endorse every action that Iran takes but one has to look at what Iran feels about it as well.Continued USA policy in the Middle East where,at every juncture,they have antagonised Iran,imposed sanctions since the Revolution,created all sorts of obstacles in Iran's trade,called it an axis of evil although not a single Iranian has been arrested so far for terrorist activities has made the Iranians sceptical even when USA is sincere in its efforts.You can't just round up the issue like that........it has a history behind the present state of affair,CY.

Hi Mahmood. Im no apologist for Israel or the US but passionate as an ex pat about Iran. Irans aggresive path is taking it to the brink of war, impoverishment and isolation. And we all know just how much Iran in the world community can contribute. Iran can be a beacon of culture, of prosperity and hope to the world. But unfortunately arrogant isolation and confrontation has been a policy of their choosing. Whats encouraging though now is that the sane voices in Iran are at last finding their voices and expressing their views despite the danger. Its up to all of us to send wake up calls to everyone in that region and demand they see sense and get talking.

THIS SECOND HITLER WANTS TO DESTROY ISRAEL AND ITS JEWS. BOMB HIM BEFORE HE BOMBS YOU. NO SECOND HOLOCAUST!

Iran is the winner. Looks like we have to nuke Iran after all. I have been fighting it for some time, but inevitably there will be no choice at this rate. Maybe it's true that much of the Arab world won't mind so much.

mahmood, tghe only truth now in iran is that those same people the mullahs and ahmadinejad keep unemployed, starving, poor, uneducated, opressed, backwards, want their country back! most iranians could care less about this regime who has brough only global alienation and backwardness to iran. they want their country and economy back. they want leadersthat take care of their people and life style in iran. they want to work, to eat, to live in peace. they don't want to follow the beliefs of a monkey whose head is in a well recieving allah's divine messages from the water. this is the reality that iranians want. they want to be free and to eat and work and study. with this leader, it is 100% sure they'll get none of the above. also, a country like iran doesn't have to send iranian terrorists (you claim none of the terrorists are iranians) to do the dirty work....they only train them, supply them with deadly ammunition and weapons, sick ideology, boot camps for jihadi trainees, money to train, money to support organizations such as hizbullah and hammas, money to ship illigal weapons across the border. yes, they do not go to blow themselves up. but they do make it very possible and encourage and pay for others to do the dirty deeds. who is paying and protecting hizbullah? who is paying and protecting mashaal and haniyeh? who is paying and protecting assassinations of diplomats and usa military abroad? who is providing shelter to leaders such as hassan nasrallah who is devastating lebanon as we speak? iran is 100% behind terrorism and global mischief and you and everyone else knows it. yes, the usa is sincere in its efforts....to put as heavy a sanction on iran to curb its terroristic actions and support and to eliminate the possibility of iran aquiring a weapon they have no clue how to manage. pity the good people of iran are stuck in the middle. think of all this oil revenue that could have enriched their country and civilization. i feel sorry for these people because i know none support him.

Makes me nostalgic for the Cold War!

These two nations are headed for disaster. People in N. Korea are already starving, but their gov't tells them its because of the US. Brainwashing much? At least with Iran, there is some hope. There is some resistance to this crazed regime, so maybe they will be saved.

WTF ! like i have been saying, these SOB's have been playing us. there is no doubt in my mind that the insurgent situation in iraq has been a well orchestrated diversion. while we have been concentrating on a situation that has been carefully planned, we are being blind-sided. you can call me paranoid, or whatever the hell you want, but i have no doubt about my convictions on this. they are ready to numb us hard !!

call it being a bully, but i would love nothing more than to see these 2 spank-monkeys get the living shit kicked out of them, before we snuff them.

Your concern for the Iranians is unfounded.You seem to be forgeting the fact that when it suits you,you blame the entire Iran and when it does not, you blame the regime........the nation is very much with the regime and all you are trying to achieve is disunity.This time around,it is NOT going to work,DR.Iranians are known for their forebearance and if it becomes neccessary,support their Govt.You trying to compare N.Korean situation with Iran will not work.Although poverty does exist in Iran,but talk to few of these poor people and they will open your eyes.This is my challenge,not my belief.What is happening to your favourite regime is well known to us as readers.Rescue their demoralised behaviour else you will run short of honest leaders.I know that you know exactly whom I am referring to,DR? Or are you wondering?

VNY, I have no further comments to make.You seem to look at the scenerio only from one angle.It then becomes difficult to discuss.You have made it look like that the leaders in Iran have ruined the country.Really?You must have got this information from the remnants of Shah who are residing all over the world and have nothing left in Iran.What do you know about Iran and its people.The very reason why Condoliza's budget of US$75 million has gone down the drain is in itself an answer to your unneccessary concern for the Iranian masses.
