The so-called international community and the US won't do anything to prevent Iran from becoming nuclear. Wishful thinking is not an option. It's time to find a solution.

We did not expect Olmert to fold his arms and say.....'Thank God,'Iranians are not persuing Nuclear weapons'................to keep believing that Iran will be totally deprived of this technology is something which Olmert may have cause to feel humiliated.To expect Iran to totally close down its advanced Nuclear facilities just because few countries suspect it of developing Nuclear weapons is little bit on the ridiculous side.Iranians have made tremendous progress in this technology and may have to slow down if it is deprived by heavy sanctions.But even then,it has been under close scrutiny for 3 decades.How come all these development occured under the very nose of so called Intelligence units?? The conclusion is..........you will have to live with Nuclear Iran and at the same time recognise its power in the region.You can't do much about it and if some military strike does take place on it Nuclear facilities,the worl is going to witness rather different Middle East to what we now know of.

The beggardly Olmert and Livni think the wolrd cares as ISRAEL will be the number 1 target for the Iranian nukes. PROBLEM SOLVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE u.s. ATTITUDE when israel is attacked. Better get out of your delusion and stop depending on the world to save you. Only God will do that !

funny comment from Olmert. Israel does not have right to blame others when she has hidden nuke program and more then 200 nuke boms!!!

Mr.Olmert you have to know first How the Hizbollah has been infiltrated your army communications in the last war and until now then.....prove Iran pursuing bomb...Be more logic...don't let your people believe you and live in your dreams much more...

...and decides to attack Israel with nuclear missles? Do we dare attack Pakistan or even retaliate? Why is Egypt allowed to built nuclear reactors with blessings from the U.S.A.? Only because there is an honest monkey in Iran? Can anyone explain?

Olmert will give all Israeli intelligence tips to an hostile organization which is run by an ennemy of Israel.

How many countries has Iran attacked, invaded in the last 300 years? None!!! How many countries has Israel attacked/ Invaded in the last 50 years?!!! Case closed! Israel has nuclear weapons, is in more UN violations then all other Arab nations combined. Israel is an illegal occupying nation. Israel has, and still is committing international war crimes, crimes against humanity, and in violation of the Geneva convention! If Israel wants a war, then let her fight it alone, and pay for it as well. Don't come running to my capital, begging for bombs, fuel, bullets, gun ships, fighters, missiles, and the likes. I do not want my tax money, going to a country like Israel, it moans and complains about racism/hate, while doing exactly that to the people it occupies. Don't deny it, we all have seen the countless videos of how you treat the Palestinian civilians, including...collective punishment. I don't hate Jews, I don't even have a dislike for you people, but I am tired of you people playing the victim, when in fact, you're the perpetrator! Get off out coat tails, start fending for your selfs!!!

How many countries have attacked Israel in the last 50 years? 4 How many countries attacked Israel requiring Israel to militarily defend herself? 4 How many countries including Iran have threatened Israel? Many How many videos of homicide bombings have you watched? Obviously none. Israelis are defending themselves and certainly don't expect much from the likes of you.

So much for "no-surprises" policy agreement that Israel and the USA entered into. This was to forewarn Bush of anything Israel was about to do that would have diplomatic fall-out.

To #10: Thanks for answering #9 so concisely. Here's a little more for #9: Israel is in "violation" of UN resolutions and those who want us destroyed are not, ONLY because the UN chooses to ignore what other nations do and constantly brings up things Israel does for her own survival. Israel is NOT an "occupying" nation, as there was not a nation there to occupy. Israel is NOT in violation of the Geneva convention which discusses things concerning a sovereign nation. The areas that are disputed do NOT belong to any sovereign nation, although several thousand years ago they did belong to Israel. Israel certainly doesn't WANT a war, but has been and may again be forced into war. If she runs to the USA for weapons and such, it's because of US policies which have tied Israel to the USA for these things for the economic advantage of the US. Any collective punishment that has occurred has been for lack of an alternative short of great risk of loss of life of its own citizens or national suicide, neither of which are acceptable alternatives.

Israel has been attacked 4 times as you say, why is that? Could it be, because of their actions? As in building their nation on the back of another, Israel was build on the destruction of another, and that is a fact. I have seen a number of terrorist videos, killing civilians in Israel, but that is no excuse for punishing an entire people. As for not expecting much from the likes of me, it that were only true. Just look at the last time Israel attacked a country...Lebanon, killing more civilians then terrorist, to the scale of 10 to 1, they were begging for bombs, emergency military aid. Who paid for this? We did, my tax money paid for it!!!

Israel is a bigger threat to world peace than any other regime on the planet, so the World should turn its attention to Israel and its stockpile of nuclear weapons that it also hid from the world and developed in secret instead of languishing on Iran. Israel has also been openly threatening to use its rogue nuclear arsenal to attack Iran, the homeland to the largest number of Jews in the ME outside of Israel, threats that pose a clear and present danger to the World, so it is time to concentrate on Israel's WMD's and let the IAEA monitor Iran's peaceful program as is its job.

Here is some information for you. Israel is in violation of mulitible UN resolution, not because some want to destroy you, but because your nation has not abided by the rules, that created your nation in the first place. Second, Israel is an illegal occupying nation, that's not an opinion, you can spin it any way you want to, but it is a fact!!! There is a reason, including in the USA, why the IDF is called an occupasion force....Refering to the occupied territories!!! Before todays Israel, there was Palestine, and they were there long before you came, and took it away. The Israelis of a thousand years ago never left, they converted....Palestinians are Semetic!!! Jews today are not related to those people, Jews of today are Slavic and many other races, having nothing in common but Religion. As for being tied to American weapons for their benefits, that's bollocks, it benefits their corporation, but her citizens such as Steve still pay for it, and it doesn't help him one bit. As for collective punishment for lack of alternative.......I believe the Nazis did the same thing!!!

Palestine belongs to the Palestinians. North America, Australia and Europe are now places where the Jewish people are held in high regard and they have reached the top echelons of public influence and power. Jewish immigrants would be welcomed with open arms ahead of all other immigrants. That being the case, Israelis would be much happier and prosper in the lands of milk and honey rather than fighting with all their neighbours for the continuation of a small state, propped up on life support by an annual infusion of billions of dollars in arms and aid. Palestinians would then be able to return to their ancestral land of Palestine and live and prosper without the draconian and illegal Israeli government controls. The whole world could then breathe a collective sigh that the persistent and painful problem of insecurity had been resolved for good and then spend their time and money on much larger problems facing far greater numbers of people around the world.

Don't forget British photographer Tom Hurndall, shot in the forehead because he tried to prevent the bored IOF shooting at little children to amuse themselves.

Hey Lina, you ask how many countries have attacked Israel in the last 50 years. The answer is none. In 1967 you preempted those 4 countries, granted they were about to attack you. The likes of Steeve and I are the ones who are supporting your beloved Zionism and the state of Israel and this is how you thank us. There is no difference between the colladeral damage that you inflict and the suicide bombing victims. There is no other way for Pals to fight. You have them cornered. Bush & Co days are over. We the Americans will do all we can to stop this Zionist support and to kick these Neo-cons out of power. We will put a Government in place that supports the American people and upholds our constitution, not special interest groups and Coarporate America.
