1. More Vitriole From The Mad Mullahs' Mongrels
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (02.21.08)
These lunatics are driven by a brutal, bigoted and barbaric Islamic doctrine whose backward viewpoint is rooted in violence, oppression, misogyny and rabid anti-Semitism. Their time will come. Unfortunately for the Iranian people, they will pay the price for these mad dogs being neutralized.
2. The queue in Iran for their spot on the orange box grows
Talula ,   Israel   (02.21.08)
I can only imagine that the queue spans the length of Iran, for the death to Israel speech. All the hopeful wannabes vying for a place at the President’s side. Maybe it’s their version of Iranian Idol. Whatever it is, we are not going to stop them, they are primitive people who have a bee in their turbans about a tiny little country just to the west of them.
3. Nuclear Iran.
Jean Van Daem ,   Metula   (02.21.08)
Nuclearization of Iran must be discussed in the context of the Islamic Revolution, which was dubbed by Ayatollah Khomeini not merely as a domestic anti-Shah upheaval in Iran, but as a global Islamic movement designed to extricate Islam from its submissive torpor and launch it to prominence as a world power. In this pursuit, Iran has become one of Israel’s most vehement enemies, framing its grievances around religious doctrine and anti-Semitic invective, making conflict with the Jewish state all the more insoluble. Indeed, injecting these elements into an already difficult political situation makes finding solutions seemingly impossible due the absolute demands made by defenders of their faith who refuse to negotiate or compromise as described at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/nuclear-power-and-anti-semitism.html
4. Pro Wrestlers Write The Speeches For Iranian Leaders
Seth Morris ,   Washington, DC   (02.21.08)
5. This proves the UN is useless
Mike Jefferson ,   Washington, D.C.   (02.21.08)
Almost daily, the Iranians threaten Israel. The UN does nothing. Imagine if the US constantly threatened to anhilate another country? Israel start fighting back. Give the Iranians something to chew on.
6. A win-win case
George Saliba ,   Canada   (02.21.08)
I have doubt about the death of Mognyiah. This is an arranged death for Mognyaih by Mognyiah itself and the Syrinan. For them this is a win-win case: 1-this will remove Mognyiah from the most wanted word wide list and let him go totally underground which give him more freedom for action. 2-Give Hizbollah more legitimacy to attack Israel after its option being limited in south Lebanon. 3-Syria will use this assassination and its surrounded set up as an anti case of Harriri assassination to use its against Saoudi and its allies as black mail. 4-The man being killed, must likely is a double agent, that is about time to get ride of him. This is a good maneuver by the Syrian-Mognyah intelligence as spy-anti -spy trap and look like the Mossad fall into it.
7. #1 bla bla bla bla bla america will do nothing
Mateo ,   Spain   (02.21.08)
Iran have the means to defend themselves to any attack,including USA army.
8. gosh, somebody touched a nerve...
Danny   (02.21.08)
9. arab & muslim rethoric
peter ,   amsterdam NL   (02.21.08)
Persian Shi'ite muslims seem to have the same cultural tendency towards flowery and bragging language that their Arab cousins have. It seems to have to with 'honour' and a feeling of insecurity, while wanting to look strong. The complot theories that seem to thrive so well in the muslim world are another phenomenon of this 'us' against 'them' syndrome.
10. Two more reasons
George Saliba ,   Canada   (02.21.08)
5-Mognyah becomes a national hero.Now everybody admiring this person ability to survive the world wide hunting for him,and show that Hizbollah include a legend personalities. 6- When next successful attack will happen ,this will prove that Hizbollath is still strong and can carry action no matter of the heavy loss like Mognyiah case ,and prove that the assassination of leaders will not effect its power, which boost up the moral of its members.
11. # 7 Mateo Don't bet on it!
Petra ,   usa   (02.21.08)
History shows Israel can wipe out the Irarians if necesary.
12. In G-d we trust
Isaac Gold ,   Rishon Lezion Israel   (02.21.08)
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses but we will make mention of the name of the LORD our God. (Psalms 20)
13. I CLAIM THE RIGHT OF"CIVIS ROMANUS SUM"
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (02.21.08)
LORD PALMERSTONE QUOTEDTHE ANCIENT ROMAN ADAGE "CIVIS ROMANUS SUM",AND SENT A gUN-BOAT TO cYPRUS TO PROTECT ONE OF GREAT BRITAIN'S SUBJECTS ...(A JEW) WHOSE PROPERTY WAS ATTACKED BY A GREEK MOB. IN THE DAYS OF ANCIENT ROME THIS MEANT SOMETHING AS IF YOU CAME UNDER THE AEGIS OF ROME,WHOEVER YOU WERE,YOUR PROTECTION WOUD BE FULLY GUARANTEED.... I HOLD A BRITISH PASSPORT,AND CLAIM THESE SAME RIGHTS TODAY,AND ALTHOUGH LIVING IN ISRAELWITH NO INTENTION OF LEAVING,HOPE THAT G.B.WILL COUNTER THE THREATS FROM IRAN TO MY SATISFACTION AND ALLOW ME TO TRAVEL WITHOUT LET OR HINDRANCE IN ISRAEL AS MY PASSPORT PERMITS.i HOPE OTHER NATIONALITIES WHO ARE LIVING IN ISRAEL,WILL EXPRESS THE SAME CONCERNS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE GOVERNMENTS THAT THEY TOO DO NOT WANT TO CONSIDER EVACUATION IN THE FACE OF THE SERIOUSNESS EMMANATING FROM IRAN.
14. WHAT MONSTROUS REINCARNATIONS OF THE NAZI DEMONS
stude ham   (02.21.08)
What lunatics these are who would use mass murder based on such spurious pretexts as the elimination of criminal terrorists. iran is now in the grips of out and out lunatics.
15. Iran Presidential website says "ISRAEL WILL BE WIPED AWAY"
Jake   (02.21.08)
It's all hear in the Iranian official presidential web site. http://www.president.ir/eng/ahmadinejad/cronicnews/1384/08/4/index-e.htm "He further expressed his firm belief that the new wave of confrontations generated in Palestine and the growing turmoil in the Islamic world would in no time wipe Israel away." Those who deny he made statements threatening Israel, by name, directly are either under the influence of this lunatic's Jedi mind trick, or are willfully hiding the truth.
16. Hey Mateo, Iranian bla blah can hit Madrid too
JPS ,   Efrat   (02.21.08)
Remember the Iranians are not just developing nuclear weapons, but the are working on missiles that will deliver them to all over Europe - including infidel Madrid. If you thought train bombs were bad, what do you think a 20 ktn or bigger nuke would do? Remember, Spain is full of infidels. And if you happen to be a Muslim, that's ok, you'll just be another martyr when you're incinerated in the blast. Get to paradise faster, no?
17. Hardly, Mateo, you little Spanish wuss
Cameron ,   USA   (02.21.08)
The Persians have been playing a very cautious, careful game with us because the mullahs in Tehran know only too well that if they push affairs to a critical point, we can easily reach out & grab them by the neck for the ultimate squeeze. Hell, the only problem we'd have have is trying to get the dust out of our throats which is still there after all those brave Saniards turned and kicked up all that dirt as they ran their yellow bottoms home after the Madrid train affair. You & your fellow Europeans are turning out to be the biggest pack of frightened weak-sisters delicately and shyly mincing down the road, that the world has ever witnessed.
18. Statements of Iranian leaders
George Saliba ,   Canada   (02.21.08)
The Iranian nuclear program can be stopped only by invading the country .It is a well hidden and over spreaded facilities .The air strike might damage the civilian parts of it and not the military. The Iraqi nuclear program gave good lessons to Iranian. Iran will be a nuclear power and this is a matter of time .The only option for Israel is to learn how to live with the new reality. About the vanish of Israel, this is a well known prediction in the “aljafer” book written by Imam Ali as awaiting destiny for Israel and lot of Shiit musilm believe in it , kind of eastern Mostradamus,which is the base or background of all these statements from Iranian leader, nothing more.
19. How cool would it be if Israel took this guy out?
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (02.21.08)
Remembering that the Rantisi rants after Israel took out Yassin. Then some twenty days later Rantisi was blown to bits. Now that is cool. This guy deserves the same. And then we can all have a nice laugh and enjoy Purim properly.
20. Nothing new under the sun
Johnson ,   USA   (02.21.08)
Pre-emption is our best solution against the wild bigots controlling Iran.
21. Blah blah blah
Debbie ,   Toronto Canada   (02.21.08)
22. causis belli for the destruction of Iran
David ,   Houston   (02.21.08)
Israel does not wish this, America does not wish this, yet the constant Iranian threats, predictions of imminent destruction, chants of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" coupled with their WMD program creates a situation in which Israel and/or America must act to insure their safety. Limited air strikes would not eliminate the threat, Iran must be required to verifiable disarm or face massive pre-emptive destruction.
23. This barking is another sound of weekness from the Muslims.
robert renders ,   belgium   (02.21.08)
24. #19, he probably spies for us...
Danny   (02.21.08)
25. can they be more enraged?
avishai ,   tel aviv   (02.21.08)
Is it possible to enrage hezbollah young men any more than they already are? They are already suffering from sexual frustration.....
26. GEORGE THE IRANIAN
GARY L/ ,   CINCINNATI USA   (02.21.08)
ISRAEL WILL TAKE THE AIR STRIKE WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT! GERRGE SALIBA YOU ARE A GOOD "IRANIAN" SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE WEST (CANADA?)
27. please nukes us we cant take anymore of these threats
zionist forever   (02.21.08)
When it comes to the danger from Persia its not nukes that we have to worry about the real threat to Israels existence comes from them boring us to death will all their talk of how evil Israel is and how it will be destroyed. Maybe they are hoping that Israel will give them a nuke and beg for it to be dropped on Israel to save the people from this slow death of boredom. Its also worth reminding them that we are in the month of Adar and this is the month where Queen Ester saved the jews of Persia from Haman who wanted them all dead. In the end then Haman and his 10 sons ( at Esters request ) were hanged. If the modern day Haman tries to hard to kill the jews he might just find that a jew will case his death.
28. Mateo-Just remember Arabs want Asbilla& Andaluz back again
Alan ,   SA   (02.21.08)
English translation-Seville and Spain. Spain cant run away from the Arabs forever .Just go read what Al Queda says about Spain - Maybe you are not Mateo but Mohammedeo
29. Hey #6:
Yehuda ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.21.08)
Everything you said is correct except for your last statement. The Mossad did not fall into a trap. On the contrary , letting the world think that the Mossad thinks mogniyah is dead is exactly what Israel wants...
30. 18
zionist forever   (02.21.08)
Full scale invasion isnt the only way to destroy the Iranian threat the US could finish them off in a single week without sending in a single soilder other than possibly special forces to mark targets. US & Israeli sattalite inteligence show exactly where the neuclear sites are. We know where their airbases and missle storage sites are. Send in jets armed with bunker busters or even mini nukes that have enough explosive force to pentrate deep underground without emiting alot of radiation into the atmosphere. The real problem of course for Iran will be that concrete absorbs radiation so not only will the neuclear sites be destroyed but the bunkers are also going to be off limits for a couple of decades which makes rebuilding a problem. Bomb the airfields to destroy at least most the Iranian airforce, sink the ships while they are in the harbour. Bomb as many missles as possible then let arrow and patriot missle defense systems deal with the rest The Iranians within a week of an American bombing campaign wouldnt be a threat to anybody outside of their own borders. Push George Bush to far and probably in the last month or so of his presidency he will order a major bombing campaign in Iran. Certainly as long as Bush & Cheyney are in charge Iran has alot to worry about and they better hope & pray that either Clinton or Obama become the next president.
