Jam   (10.27.07)
No more countries will follow this sanctions.Iran has nothing to loose on these countries,ahmadineyad is true this sanctions only will rise the prize of oil.
2. #1- Let the oil prices rise
Cameron ,   USA   (10.27.07)
Time to quit playing around with this issue. The longer so much of the world keeps dithering around, the greater the odds become that the US or Israel will be forced to pursue more direct methods.
3. The Bush family...
Persian CAT   (10.27.07)
and Halliburton are the biggest beneficiaries of the oil price hikes. Go figure. Interesting that Australia is going to "wait a little while" before "punishing" Iran as ynet puts it.
4. The longer this messing around continues-the higher the oil
Alan ,   SA   (10.27.07)

7. #5
Robert ,   Upstate, NY   (10.27.07)
there is in no way #5 is Palestinian. NO WAY. That was something that Richie's mother on Happy Days used to say to her husband Howard. There is no way in the world that he/she knew that.
8. #5 IT'S NOT JUST HOWARD ITS BOTH SIDES OF POLITICS
AUSTRALIAN GUY   (10.27.07)
THAT'S AUSTRALIAN MAINSTREAM PARTIES WHO CONDEMN YOU AND YOUR SCUMBAG FRIENDS. RIFF-RAFF LIKE YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE SYMPATHY OR SUPPORT IN THIS COUNTRY AND FOR GOOD REASON. YOU ARE THE LYING,WHINGING, BELLY-ACHING BLUDGING TROUBLEMAKERS OF THE WORLD. NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN YOU LOT AND WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOUR BULLSHIT.

Jellybean ,   Chicago   (10.27.07)
Well said! Thank you.
10. #3 MR PUSSYCAT: YOUR MATES HAVE GOT SOME PROBLEMS AHEAD.
AUSTRALIAN GUY   (10.27.07)
AS MUCH AS WE DON'T LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE U.S. AND BUSH (OR ISRAEL FOR THAT MATTER), WE DON'T SEE THEM AS 'GREAT SATANS' - NO SIR, THAT'S RESERVED FOR YOU GUYS. THE WORLD IF RUN UNDER YOUR IDOLS IS A HELL ON EARTH - AND WE'LL OPPOSE IT ALL THE WAY. WE'D LOVE TO PUT SOME PARACETAMOL IN YOUR MILK PUSSY.
11. Praise God for Australians
FLLegal ,   Florida, USA   (10.27.07)
Praise God for Australians. They are not deluded like many nations nor are they dhimmified like many in the West. They don't buy the garbage of the Islamofascists and/or take BS from thug nations like Iran. They also made it clear within Australia that sharia law won't be tolerated. If you like Sharia there, then you are told to leave.
12. once a stupid always a stupid
ali haseeb ,   canada   (10.27.07)
america dont want to solve any thing all they want are wars and killing of innocent civilians and continue occupations.
13. I wish Howard would win once more.
not Australian,but ,   EU   (10.27.07)
I like listening to his speeches.He is a solid leader and I trust him.
14. #12 and palastinians want peace??????
telavivit ,   Israel   (10.27.07)
Australians, including all government parties do not tolerate terrorism at any level !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
15. Australia should attack
Avi ,   Tel Aviv   (10.27.07)
If Australia attacked, iran would have a harder time retaliating against them than they could against either Israel or the u.s.
16. #14 palestinian want their land back
ali ,   canada   (10.27.07)
they want the world to treat them like humans. if your a palestinian no one cares whether you live or die. what your going to do when your living in occupation for 40 years, where you dont have enough food to eat and continuously boomed by the occupier. you are unaware of many truths first go look at the history and then you will understand who is the real terrorist.
17. NO ALI, LOOK TO YOURSELVES AND STOP BLEATING
AUSTRALIAN GUY   (10.28.07)
Its about time you and your countrymen moved on. If indeed it ever was your land - it is no more. Just as you say - look to history. Wars are fought and land is taken by others, the Jews and Israelis didn't invent it, in fact Arabs are very good at imperialism and picking on minorities when they get the chance and have refused to absorb Palestinians letting them live in refugee camps for 40 years. Why would that be? That's life Ali , change your mindset , its not working for you guys - move on. Honestly, we dont care for your bleating.
18. 16- suggest you do the same...
(10.28.07)
19. #16- ya gotta love it
Cameron ,   USA   (10.28.07)
Like all too many Muslims, Ali, you & yours practice a very selective interpretation of the path of history. Review a good book of history and you'll note that a great deal of it concerns Muslims marching into all too many countries & nations to play the 'occupier' across the globe & centuries. No sympathy for Muslims for being on the receiving end of behavior they have always been delighted to lay on the backs of others throughout the centuries.
