Esau now is preparing to exact his revenge howbeit his decendents. The time of Jacobs troubles may soon begin, Israel has a friend until Bush is replace by a Clinton then your troubles begin.

Go Israel, Go USA, Stop Iran NOW!

I pray for the peace of Israel, NOT piece of Israel!

everyday? and when you didnt get it you have burned the un office in beirut. you are living in a dream as usual.

Listen to you people, you are irrational, you think the answer is to viciously attack. Is there and wonder why Israel is threatened? Is it any wonder that the world is antisemitic? I don't buy the propaganda about another country from one making real threats. Iran made some statements, but hasn't started any wars! Israel has made real threats to attack, detailed plans, has waged war of aggression, and has nukes. And don't whine about your soldiers going into Lebanon and getting captured as justification, stay out of other peoples countries. You people have no room to talk. If I'm antisemitic, it because of you, I'm not prejudging you, I'm judging you on your actions. If Israel attacks, I'm rooting for Iran.

Actually, ignoramus, Hizbullah infiltrated the border and kidnapped the soldiers from INSIDE Israel. But then again, I always forget that anti-Semites don't have to bother themselves with pesky things like FACTS which tend to ruin their fun.

The Israeli soldiers were in Israel when they killed and kidnapped. There were 8 killed and 2 kidnapped. Maybe you will get a debilitating disease and cured by a Jewish doctor using medicines developed in Israel by Israeli doctors and scientists. Or you can root for Iran to kill the Jews. My guess is that your name is not James Harold. Its probably Mohammed Schwartz, right?

I have said for many years USA leaders do not want a strong Israel, but they will use Israel for their own benefit. If Israel is coerced into the first move by USA the scenario to follow will be, If Israel wins -USA claims to be their best friend, If Israel loses, USA will say, they did it alone, we had nothing to do with it and they will castigate Israel like the rest of the world. Israel, start to stand up for yourselves, forget what rest of 'friends' say, you have no real friends, only interested parties. I say USA , not the american people, the ones I have met and interacted with were great, but the government is another kettle of fish. Do what you feel you must do Israel, if you fall, so will the rest of us.

You will root for iran? I hope your neighbors know that...and when Iran activates the thousands of newly recruited suicide bombers and sends them to the USA...We should send "you" to greet them. With a nice little fruit basket? They will welcome you to their party with open arms right? As for them not being involved in the iraq campaign, well that must be all propaganda. As for achmednidjad saying he wants to bring in the "mahdi" he was just kidding? Wiping Israel off the map? just a joke right? u r a IDIOT...and from me I meant it, it wasn't a joke. The world and th UN will stand by and do nothing. It will most likely fall to Israel to defend herself in the end without the support of anyone.(especially if someone like obama becomes president)

Only when they vote for a strike. Afterward they'll say they were conned. Like Iraq. And they'll successfully be able to play dumb, because they're very believable in this regard. So Bush may not get a whole lot politically out of this.

Jew haters have all started by making statements. In the thirties, there was no state of Israel, but there were.millions of such "statements'' in countless books, newspapers and speeches. I am old enough to have seen by myself how these "statements'' were put into practice by the French police in 1942. Be antisemite as much as you want : you won't prevent the Jewish People, the People of Israel, the ''People of Priests'', 4000 years old from being eternal, invincible and indestructible. All dictators and tyrants, from Ramses to Hitler who swore to ''wipe Israel off the map'' were wiped off ignominioulsy, The last two were Arafat and Sadam. Your repulsive midget Haman Dinejad.who is now spitting his disgusting ''statements'' will be next to burst and rot, with or without Israel's involvement.

The only chance for them to produce nuclear bomb is that .The Russian will provide to Iran enough craniums and center fusses .And any body believe Russian will supply them. Must be to naive .Because the Russian knows exactly what is a reason of fanatics regime in Iran want to have atomic bombs. And yes it is true that Russian provides Iranian the nuclear facility. But to be sure despite that they are aware of Iranian too

living amongst people who have made all kinds of silly statements for a few decades now I would think your used to hearing empty theats by such people as ahmedinejad. what i know isn't a threat, would be the incredible backlash against israel should it strike first. You think osirak was bad news, if israel attemps to bomb iran you can be sure the recent recession of the intifada was nothing in comparison and you also open up israel for a real invasion and real ground threat....not just by iran but by neighbouring nations as well. What is incredibly immoral is if iran was bombed by israel, thousands of people were killed and in fact it was all just the rantings of one crazy man - and iran had peaceful nuclear ambitions all along. don't forget, israelis feel the whole world is looking at them, don't worry iran has other concerns than just eretz hakodesh...how about the fact that it has a nuclear armed counrty right next door (pakistan) and is waging a proxy war sunni vs shiite in iraq? iran doesn't intend on lobbing any missiles over to israel, but if it does, it is total suicide...and a big loss for the shiites, something the ayatollah could not accept. By reading comments here, israel should strike iran first. Well goody...where does it end? by that same logic, israel should also strike saudi arabia, egypt and syria. In fact while were at it, it should probably strike russia...the supplier of the weapons that threaten israel. where does it end??? As a jewish zionist, i deeply respect israel's right to self defence.... but striking iran first is asking for serious serious problems and deeply hypocritical (considering israel also has a number of politicians that say silly things as well)

Olmert and Peres have failed in a small little last war with a fry like Hizbullah, what they will stand against mighty army of Iran? They should resign or pulled down, before even the bell rings. Both of them should not even be seen on political scene.

The Bush administration does not have the political will or capital to attack Iran. Israel does not have the balls or the logistics to attack Iran. The days of 67 are long gone. If Hizbullah can stop the IDF, regardless of the reasons, political or military, then Iran can really wreak havoc on Israel. Western countries are in for a rude surprise, Iran is not Iraq.

Iran is not iraq , iran is like south lebanon so think carefully before u bomb iran because if in lebanon u have seen the hell i think in iran u will see more than that.,good luck guys and have a nice trip to iran .Welcome to the iranian airflight.

i want to welcome MR OLMERT and MR BUSH on the iranian airflight and i wish for them nice and safe trip. This trip for sure will end up in the hell like in lebanon and in iraq. I wish you guys nice time.

Iran and Syria have been an abomination to this planet since the encroachment!!!!! of arabs. You are living under the delusion you are going win------ Damascus is not a permanent city. WAKE UP

Israel didn't 'lose' the war to Hezbollah and/or whoever else because they were incompetant or unable to finish the job... the UN came in and broke them up! The UN sides with the enemies of Israel everytime. If people would simply let Israel fight it out, without any interference, you'd see God move in a mighty way for His people. Israel won't be "wiped off the map", because God hasn't let it happen, even to this day! If Iran or anyone tries to destroy Israel... God will see to their demise, loooong before God will permit the end of Israel!

You tell it like it is, Malcom! As a born-again Christian that fully supports Israel and her people, based on what the word of God says, I could not agree more! Israel RULES!!!

Iran is very vulnerable. They have a weak economy and all of their external meddling is only supported by their oil income. Destroy their oil income and the Iranians will throw out the bums that have destroyed their country. You can hit the nuclear sites too but it isn't required.

John, I think you did not have any answer to #35.i totally agree with his article and recommend it to others.it is thought provoking but a daft like you could not even answer which clearly shows your calibre.

I DO NOT agree with 35 @ all. You got a problem with that? Idiots like you should be go back to your stone age country instead of hiding in London. You don't eat n shit in the same place. Now get off my face, you are not worth replying

Alright, I have to interject when I see completely idiotic speech. First off, peace be to you my brother. Second off, if the need arises, and it will, the U.S.A. will not hesitate to neutralize your beloved Iran. Facts are facts, we care about all freedom loving peoples in the world and Iran's Ahmadinejad could care less. Obviously you people don't know the history of your own lands. You oppose the Jews yet they have claim to the land in which they live. History proves my point. I pray to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that war does not fall in your beloved country however if the need arises, and history proves it will, the U.S.A. will neutralize Iran and any other pretenders wanting to play holocaust all over again.

You say "Enough talk about the hidden imam, the iranian regime does not believe the mass media hysteria and there are still too many moderates in iran to allow ahmedinejad to commit national suicide." Do you know how passionately the "settlers" believe in settling The Land? Or do you remember the Haredim rioting for days around the Jerusalem World Pride event? Do you know how passionately Christian Evangelicals support Israel? Religious belief COUNTS. People act based on it, sometimes for good, sometimes for evil. Speaking of EVIL, we have the current Khomeinist regime in Iran, which has an apocalyptic vision where the Hidden Imam you wish to dismiss plays a key part. This regime is not run by "moderates" but by a council of high Islamist clerics headed by a Supreme Guide. There are always tactical disagreements, but there is no evidence of strategic ones, BECAUSE THE LEADERSHIP GROUP AGREE AMONG THEMSELVES. I also think you're insane if you think Israel could not be wiped off the face of the map with nukes. Israel is not the size of Australia. It is a basic tenet of "realism" that a hostile country is judged according to its capability, not its stated intentions. Therefore, Israeli elites would simply be irrational and "unrealistic" to allow Iranian capabilities to include nukes. Finally, nukes have a deterrent value, unless they are so unsurvivable that the induce another country to destroy them first. Iran cannot be allowed such a deterrent. AND, if it acquired nukes, it would be rational for it to make some of them survivable. There will be no "limited" storehouse of nukes.

that is precisly why iran will never nuke israel. Israel is too small and if iran misses the stakes are too high. You can't blow up israel without causing massive fallout over neighbouring countries or even many palestinian deaths. The many arabic communities in israel are ironically its best deterrence.

I don't thnk Iran has any love for the Palestinians. Like everyone else,The Iranian regime is franchaising and exporting terror around the world. In other words, the Palestinians, the Lebanese and Syrians are all being used by Iran. Furthermore, human sacrifice is what their religion is all about. If they nuke Israel and Palis affect too, they would justify it as God's will. Don't forget, most Palis are Sunni and Iranians are mainly Shite. My prediction is.. is Iran gets the N Bomb, they would hand it over to Basher Assad to do the job. For 3 reasons, One is to get their hands clean Two, target is nearer. and lastly the destruction of Damascus as predicted in the Bible is Israel's retaliation... to the Iranian Nuke fired from Damascus.
