31. #22 If it is indeed human rights you long for,
then Iran needs a NEW REVOLUTION in which the PEOPLE OF IRAN demand their basic rights by overthrowing the theocratic Islamic State and replacing it with a secular government that will sieze control from the fanatical Ayatollahs and terrorists like Ahmadinejad.
Your current leaders are making Iran into a pariah among the nations and are already reaping the bitter fruits of their policies that have supported tribal strife and terrorism abroad.

32. To Persian Cat
If you don't mind me asking, are you in the US? If you are your proberly on welfare taking money off the American people so you can come on Ynet and blog. If your living elsewhere especially in the UK or Canada must be nice to bash the west while you are more comfortable in the west than in the ME. I agree the US needs to be on Ethanol and stay away from the ME.
Here is the tricky part kittycat, if the US does run on Ethanol the ME will have a fit, why because the ME countries will lose billions, be poor and ask for the US to support them. Oil will run out one day and in time Ethanol will be fuel for the future. The US has more corn and soy than any other country, when oil runs out it will be the ME kissing up to the US for fuel. When that does happen, my oh my how the tables turn.

Your president has already threatened to "wipe Israel from map". That's rather difficult without nukes. Iran has not allowed inspections and has removed the cameras. That's why Iran has sanctions against it right now. Another thing, why would Iran bury their nuclear facilities a mile underground and keep it secret if it was "for peaceful purposes"? Maybe you should be the one to wake up and smell what you are shoveling.

34. While you're counting your pennies
Millions of your and my hard earned tax money is pissed away by the US government in Iraq and by giving generously to Israel and Egypt to keep aparthied in Israel and dictatorship in Egypt alive and well. As for the ethanol thing, I wish it happens soon, because then the Arab tribal chiefs who pose as "the royal families and kings" will loose thier grip on the Middle Eastern societies and only then the poeple, although not all want democracy, will have a chance to express their political will and that inclues Iran also. But, and there's a big but here, the US has systematically shown it does NOT like whomever the people in the ME choose to represent them, period. You must know that, don't you? The other reason for the American 20-year olds losing their lives and limb in Iraq and later Iran is the gang which rules the US at the moment wants control of energy resources in the ME even if the US reduces its reliance on the ME oil to minus 1000 per cent - don't assume for a second that Exon-Mobil executives are going to become corn farmers ever. The oil companies' obscene profits are only realized by owning and selling Middle Eastern oil because it is so cheap and abundant to extact and transport. As for the poor in the ME, I assure you they don't see any of the petro-dineros. It is all invested in the Western banks and spent on yachts and call girls by the "royals", so the poor in the ME don't have anything to loose. The US will do those people a favor. By the way, what you're hearing the sound of 6 billion dollars of your tax money down the drain. Olmert and Mobarak ary laughing all the way to their bansk in New York and you're worried about YOUR few dollars!

35. Thank you all
Ooohhh...you are all so very kind to comment on the plea of the Baloochi people. I will not forget how helpful your comments have been. Especially from the American talkbackers! You have seen enough wars in your lives, but, you have won them! We Iranians have also fought many wars and have lost them! There is a big difference between winning and losing and the scars last for ever. My friends and I are certain that the Country is building nuclear weapons. We have no doubt whatsoever. Some Baloochis do work with nuclear reactors...I agree with some of the talkbackers who stress that the Iranian people do need a new democratic revolution to bring back our traditional values for so long now neglected. To be a Sunni in Iran is not easy. And if you are a Baloochi Sunni life becomes impossible. I thank you with all my heart.

36. Ahamdinejad can't do a damn thing
about Israel or any other country. He is in deep doodoo up to his beard. A quick visit to IAEA web site will prove you wrong. The sanctions are also a politcal issue and do not prove anything except that a few countries "suspect" Iran will have nuclear weapons "some time" in the future. NO ONE has any proof that Iran has manufactured ANY nuclear weapons. As for burying the nuclear facilities, it because the US and Israel have made a very clear since 1979, that's way before Ahmadinejad's presidency, that Iranians must not LEARN the technology to make nuclear weapons - that's public statements by the US and Isreali administration officials. The best way to solve the problem is to allow Iran to exercise its rights, based on the membership in IAEA, and supervise every nuclear activity in Iran as clsoely as possible. Now if some people do not want to be convinced that Iran has the right to peaceful nuclear research, they can suck an egg as far as I'm concerned.

My Persian Brother, allow me to disagree, please. What do you think they produce at Natanz? Boiled eggs?
The Centre at Natanz is not what you see, but what you don't see.
If those surrounding mountains could talk...!
By the way, did you see the barbaric public execution by hanging without trial of my Baloochi Brother, Nasrollah Shanbehzahi, convicted for being involved in the explosive attack on the bus last week? It happened in my hometown and it was a very sad thing! That's the way Tehran deals with Baloochis! No trial! Nothing! We are second class citizens (and that is an understatement!).

So when he says that he would like to wipe away the "Zionist regime" or the "Zionist country" (Israel), he is just joking about it?
Because if you're gonna say that he is a good man, that was just misunderstood by others, I will believe you and ask you to forgive me for not undestanding black humor.

42. Why the 'quotes'?
Why would any sensible editor put the quotes around the word "fakes" in the headline? Are the editors at Ynet really so obtuse that they don't recognize an obvious forgery when it's pointed out, analyzed, and plainly deconstructed so even a child could understand? Iran didn't 'fake' the photo, they FAKED it!
Iran's cynical interpretation of free speech, exploiting the naive, trusting, tolerant, liberal West to extend its Sharia-guided genocidal bigotry

43. Wow the hypocricy in the room is overwhelming.
All these talkbackers in the room are saying that why dose America need to go and "free" iranians. Why waste our good tax dollars on Iran. These are the same people who say bomb Iran (millions maybe billions of dollars to do that) They are the same people who would write letters to the congressman if they ever thought about stopping the flow of American tax dollars and jets to Israel which number somewhere near 5 billion a year. They dont even look at how people like Pat Robinson and his buddies are robbing tax payers through the "faith based initiative" program. I havent ever heard an Iranian ask America to come and overthrow their regime. All they ask for is support in the international community. However much i dispise reagan if an american president (not bush) said to the world that the regime in Iran is illegitimate and that america supports a PEACEFUL tranfer of power then the iranians will step up. Iranians dont need american tanks and bombs to take control of their own country but it is pretty difficult to seek a better life through politics when you have a PHD and cant feed your family. Democracy is just a word when you are starving. I think its also really funny that my fellow Americans dont realize how much the people in the white house and of course Exxon,Shell, BP etc. Love the dictators in the ME. They all use each other to keep their respective publics in check. Jellybean wow ethonal huh. Corn ethonal is the stupidest idea ever. First of all its 15% pure oil followed by the 35% oil that is used to turn the corn into the ethonal. That is essentially Half oil. The ethonal is just as bad as the gasoline for the environment. The ethonal we should be using is Sugar Cane Ethonal (brazil uses it and they are 100% self reliant in fuels for vehicles) Sugar cane is cleaner cheaper and we could really help out the economies of our neighbors in the Caribean. Why is it whenever ME people are critical of American policy we are called un patriotic. Or people say "why are you bashing us here why dont you go back to ME". This is America last time i checked we got the 1st amendment. Just because you dont like what we say dosnt mean we are un american I hope some of you would think for a minute would you say the things you say on Ynet in public were you can be judged. The people of the middle east should be listened to we are the ones who are truly suffering from american foreign policy. Our families are the ones being targeted by the smart bombs. To the Boulichi fighter where exactly are you. If your in Iran how were you able to access Ynet overthere? Im not saying your lying i just wanna know. Im gonna say this and im sure ill have to repeat it again and again Amadinejad said "the occupying regime of Quds (jerusalem) should be removed from the pages of history" he was quoting a guy who had been dead for 20 years and Israel is occupying Jerusalem so he is technically right. Im no fan of Israel and you all can choose to ignore or attack be but that is how the truth comes out. Ignored, Attacked then it becomes common fact.

44. #42. I'm glad the "liberal West" has you
to save it from those bad guys who are tyring to shove their "Sharia" down its throat. Since when intolerance, paranoia and being a right wing nutjob been a cure for anything. You're bent out of shape that Ynet.com has exercised good journalistic judgement by putting quotes around a statement which has appeared on an obscure and not-so-credibel web site run by some marginal poeple who are up to their eyeballs in thier own right wing BS. I've seen the "evidence" on your web site. That flash job does not prove anything. If fact that "evidence" on your "Jehadi" web site (since you call it Dar al Harb" is even more FAKE than the one the Iranian government has done. Even the Lebanese picture was not fake, it was only modified. More smoke does not change the reality. You guys are pathetic.

I agree forgive me if I offended you..no wait a minute I'm protected by the 1st Amendment. The US should not be dependent on the ME or oil I feel that we should have ethanol or what you said Sugar Cane. As far as I know the US has a first amendment not the ME if you feel they should by all means be a freedom fighter and give to them. The US has its own problems and we should take care of ourselves first. Look at New Orleans. Tell me why should we not put money in OUR own City but give it to the Iraqis. The US has a homeless problem, education problems and need more money for the Elderly. That is what I want my tax money to go to not for people in the ME who don't like us and chant on a daily basis "Death to America". I don't care if you agree with me but don't get pissed off when Americans like me and there are a quite of few you do agree with me don't agree with you.

I haven't read anything from you that renounces terrorism and blowing up poeple. Could it be that you...? You know what I'm talking about.

My Persian Brother, I have never talked of terrorism or blowing up people. We Baloochis are peaceful people, as you know. We fight this evil regime through dialogue and education, based both on our traditional Sunni values, Are you Baloochi as well? You seem such a nice person! Maybe you are Baloochi.

50. Jellybean can you please explain your last comment.
What dose that have to do with me? Or what i wrote? You never offended me. I just hope you know what you are saying. Why should we spend money on IRAQ? Well i dont know we kinda destroyed their country twice. We are responsible in one way or another for about 1 million Iraqi dead over the last decade (probably more) we have contaminated their country with depleted uranium. We are occupiying there country. We have destroyed all security and turned Iraq into a hell on earth. We have permanently scared their children. Destroyed their homes, economy, etc etc etc. And thats not even bringing up the OIL. You obviously have no idea what we are doing over there. We (AMERICA) owe them A HELLAVA LOT. We are responsible for what is going on over there not the syrians or the saudis or the iranians. America is responsible and once you and the people who think like you understand this we will all be better off. If we really wanted to make things even with Iraqis we will be paying them billions for decades to come. I dont understand were you were coming from with the whole freedom fighter thing. I think america should mind its own business and stay as far away from the ME as possible. You dont seem to have any problems with all the money we are dumping on Israel. The minute we stop giving them money and tanks they will turn on us. I agree with you that america should not be giving the middle east its money but we do owe the Iraqis we started $#@! with them not the other way around. Check yourself in the mirror you might see something you dont like.

Dear AR, yesterday we even posted pics of the brutal public execution by hanging of Nasrollah Shanbehzahi directly from Zahedan! They are online! As you can see we have access to the web! It's not easy, but it is our only link to the outside world. Needless to say, across the border with Pakistan, past Nok Kundi, internet is free and in Dalbandin there are also internet cafes. The only necessary precaution is the use of a proxy...

I have checked and I am very happy. But let me ask you..should we be there if the Iraqi people don't want us there? My brother who is in the Marines now and in Iraq now has said that the Iraqis don't want us there. He also says that when you try to help them, they shoot you in the back. This is not to mention that when we have had contractors who are helping the people get running water and electricty they get murdered by Iraqis. The Syrians and Iranians are taking an advantage of the situation they don't care about Iraqis. It was a big mistake period to even invade. I can't change what happened three years ago when we did invade. I am talking now. The US did not kill "about 1 millions Iraqi Dead" The Iraqis and other Arabs did that themselves. Our troops should be back home. If you disagree with that statement, you have no room to talk if you yourself have never served your country. I have served Navy for 5 years (active duty) and currently in the reserve and I am damn proud of that. Oh and your statement about giving them tanks money "they will trun on us" they turn on us now. So stop with the nonsense.

53. Jellybean i havent served in the armed forces....Yet.
If the war with Iran starts their will be a draft and ill join your brother over there. I agree with you that the US shouldnt have its army over there. The war was won in 4 weeks the last 4 years has been an occupation. Of course the Iraqis are gonna attack us what did you think. O the americans are coming to liberate us? that was propoganda my friend. I wish your brother the best of luck. But like he said the iraqis dont want us there. SO WHY ARE WE STILL THERE? I want america to get its soldiers out of Iraq as soon as possible the civil war their is already on thier is no reason for americans to get caught up in their war. The US is directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of dead iraqis in our two wars with the country. Not to mention the 1.2 million who died of starvation because of the sanctions we placed on Saddam after the first gulf war. Not to mention the thousands of Shia we allowed Saddam to kill after gulf war 1 when we let Saddam use his helocopter to attack them after bush 1 told the iraqis to rise up against Saddam. The point about them turning on us was about Israel. And your right they have already turned on us. Your a Navy man (or woman) Im sure you know about the USS Liberty. Iranians are not taking advantage they have been supporting the Shia in Iraq since the early 1990's they are just coming in to collect on their investment. America can pay back Iraq with money we dont need bullets. Plus you should ask your bro if he is feeling ok that depleted uranium hurts our guys just as much as it dose the enemy.

54. PS on the whole contractor story.
If you are an american contractor in Iraq in dont have any sympathy for you. (not the little guys like truck drivers etc) im talking about the blackwater Mercinaries (that is what they are) and all other private armies the government is employing overthere who kill Iraqis and dont answer to anyone. The contractors in Iraq are making huge profits bye screwing Iraqis and robbing american taxpayers. Just because they are american dosnt mean i respect or like them i think they are the scum of the earth war profiteering made mainstream. If i was an Iraqi i wouldnt let those clowns go anywhere near my neighborhood. You should ask your bro how Bechtel screwed the marines and soldiers in iraq with inadequate housing and water. I heard stories where they would charge $100 for one bag of laundry. $40 for a six pack of coke (which was produced in the middle east). There is a gallup pole out and it says that 1% of iraqis consider americans as liberators 5% think we invaded to make life better for iraqis and a whopping 46% think we are there to steal their oil. Which according to a new law that is soon to be passed bye their government allows Chevro,BP,Shell access and essential control over all of their oil. The 3rd largest oil reserve in the world being controlled by some of the biggest companies from the 2 countries that were responsible and took part in the invasion. hmm i think the iraqis got a point. These deals are at least 2 times as generous to the oil companies than any other deal anywhere in the world. This is the only part of the Baker Hamilton report Bush decided was a good idea. As a consequence the Iraqis will fight back and will attack major oil installations in Iraq. Im sure iran will get blamed for it though. Have fun with the brainwash people.
