2. #1 Simple answer
If you cannot figure this out yourself the you are a simpleton and not capable of exercising common sense. That is your "simple" answer.

3. Painful to Whom?
The defense minister of Iran doth project his fears well. After the humiliating destruction of his client state Syria's nuclear reactor built by North Korea, he is doing exactly what he accuses Israel of doing: making 'foolish remarks every now and then." By predicting grave harm to Israel, he is projecting his profound fear that Israel will annihilate his armed forces, which it surely will. Meanwhile, his stooge, El Baradei of the IAEA (Idiotic Arab Enabling Assholes) frets about Israel threatening "unilateral military steps" while being mute towards the military steps Iran is taking in supplying Iraqi insurgents with deadly weaponry. Iran's defense minister ought consider who is gonna be licking his wounds if he makes good on his threat to rain missiles on not only Israel but the US interests as well. Go ahead, make the US's day, Iran! The US has been giving these monkeys all the rope they need to hang themselves. Attack our interests and give the US the pretext we need to end the pussyfooting around and do what we should have done 29 years ago when our embassy staff was taken hostage: teach the puppets of Iran the lesson the last arrogant Middle East despot Saddam learned.

4. The creature in the top picture
should be casted for "Planet of the Apes", not running a powerful nation. As for #1 such an AH is an insult to the Netherlands - doubtless a member of their Arab fifth column.

5. simple enough?
Because we don't threaten ANY country with our nuclear arsenal while Iran never loses an opportunity to threaten Israel AND the West with nuclear attack and annihilation. Why would an oil rich country need to enrich uranium?

6. #2, Dan
Dan, your answer is perfect. To have to ask the question is unmitigated proof that the person who asked it (a) has no clue about anything whatsoever, and (b) must therefore be incapable of any kind of discernment.
The Gentile ,   Denver, USA   (06.10.08)
7. Answer to #1
A fair question. Your answer is: 1. The State of Israel has never threatened to nuke anyone. 2. Israel recognizes their neighbor's right to exist. 3. Israel has never called another sovereign nation a "cancer that must be wiped off the map", or said another nation will "Burn in their fury" 4.

8. #1Damn straight we have them, & not 1 time did we ever say
we would make Iran ,   disappear! Rueben,   (06.10.08)
9. #1 Israel is an country which could have used
its bombs time and time again. Consider : over 2000 rockets slammed into Israeli cities since January 2008. Israelis do nothing, the bombs are a deterrent, nothing more. If this was any other country in the world, they would quite rightly have reacted in a more bullish manner. The persians on the other hand have threatened Israel on numerous occasions so what are they supposed to do, say ok come and wipe us out?

10. What's good for the goose...
Iran has a natural right to harness nuclear technology, even for military purposes. Indeed, if Israel had the right to possess and stockpile hundreds of nuclear warheads, that are being trained at Muslim cities such as Cairo, Istanbul, Tehran and Damascus and probably Mecca and Medina as well, why on earth would Muslim states such as Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia not have such a right? After all, are Jewish nuclear bombs kosher? Are they altruistic? Are they innocuous?

11. Mofaz statement spurs western pressure
His comments were intended as notice to the western countries that are trading with Iran to crank up the pressure on Iran or else. If Israel attacks, expect all hell to break out with nobody escaping.
Zooog ,   US   (06.10.08)
12. #1
As much as I hate Israels government,, I have to agree with everyone here.. We are well on the road for world war three.,. Get ready folks.. If Iran dosnt already have "the bomb" they will very shortly.. And they wont be afraid to use it.....
Boner ,   can   (06.10.08)
13. Robert & Dan
Nice answer Dan you expressed your point very well. "if you cannot figure this out yourself your a simpleton" that is stupid. Make a point or shut up. Robert i have a question for you. When has the IAEA enabled an arab? Ignorant racist remarks dont help your arguments. By the way Israeli Mossad supplies iragi's with deadly weapons and training. (kurds) US and saudi arabia arm the Sunni's and Iran arms the Shia they are all playing the game no one is holly. Im sure the US wants to start some shit with Russia and China too. Please the US starts a war and Venezula will stop selling oil to america and this fake economy of ours will fall to pieces.

14. The reason is simple #1
The united states will block any attempt by the UN to critisize israel. That simple. Israel is as we speak annihalating palestine. While they point their nuclear dagger at any nation that thinks their pathetic bs of a country shouldnt be ethnically cleansing a land of its inhabitants. The US didnt think it was a problem for Iran to have nuclear energy when the shah was around. No one had a problem with that. #9 ask the residents of beirut what the israelis do. They wont say nothing. Israel is a bull. #7 #1Iran has never threatened to nuke anyone. #2 Dose Isreal recognize palestine?#3 Iran dosnt consider Israel a nation. It cant really israel has yet to define its borders.
AR ,   US   (06.10.08)
15. Ya and what about iran.
The united states surrounds it. Israel has nukes. China and Russia have nukes, India and Pakistan has nukes. All these countries can potentially go to war with each other. Iran having nukes would keep it safe from invasion for oil hungry regimes. Can you think of one?
AR ,   USA   (06.10.08)
16. #5
Perhaps that is too simple moron. Please tell me how and when Iran threatened nuclear attack? They don't even have nuclear weapons! Israel on the other hand has nuclear weapons, so any threat of attack includes implicitly, the threat that nuclear weaponry could be used.

17. Iran and History
If Iran was a normal country this will be a place to visit and enjoy. What Iran has turn into is a country where Iranians do no feel safe. Why...simple they the Mullahs and puppets have only a one track mind Dominate the region , export terrorism, glorify Hitler and his actions...etc. etc. If Iran has turn into a mad house is due to their hate to civilization. It is time to remove the fanatical regime by force from Iran and let the Iranian people reunite with the real World.

18. #1 a real simple answer
Israel is a friend of the United States of America, Iran is not. If you are our friend we are willing to overlook certain issues-ask the saudis or the Chinese. If you are not our friend well then life becomes more difficult. Oh by the way, thank you kindly for the Dutch contribution to our afghan mission; I hope it will help foster democracy and show the people of afghanistan an alternative to their previous religiously motivated barbarism.

That's why we can have a bomb.

21. Iran is a medieval country with an imbecilic dictator.

22. delenda iran est
the Iranian entity is scared like a death crow from what Mofaz says. they know very well that they can't stop any attack on their criminal nuclear bases, so they retort to their usual threat rants hoping to deter the just punishment caused by the pathological behaviour of their leadership. There is a thing in psychology who is called a transfer-you see in the other, the main trouble that affect you- this seems to be the case of the Iranian clique. They are doomed, they are powerless as long a sthey did'nt get nuclear, and they try to placate that weakeling posture on Isarel. It would be laugfull if we wher not waiting so long for the strike.
Jean Marie ,   France   (06.10.08)
23. Silly stuff by the UN
Instead of rallying to Israel's side, Ki-moon chooses to make Israel look like the sinner when put alongside Iran's aggressive stance toward Israel. What a pathetic country Iran. With you all the way Mofaz, if you can back up your words.
Adrian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.10.08)
24. Maybe Iran threatens, but we kill kids in their homes with
our extra-judiciary "targeted killing"! Yet we wonder why other countries threaten us?!! Just search YouTube for the atrocities we are committing on a daily basis in the Palestinian territories!

25. #1 perhaps....
it is because virtualy all arab nations that surround israel have sworn for the last 50 years to remove Jews and israel from the mid east at the first chance they get.....and they have already made severl attemps ...plus folks like your self making the following statement..... "Israel must use restraint as they are being erased. " the above statement appears to be the only acceptable solution to the liberal press ,UN , european union so they don't have to become involved in comfronting radical Muslims that are intent on eliminating Israel and the Jews from the Mid east...it is not unlike the neighbors of Jews in Europe pior to Hitlers atrocities.....a sad editorial on the lessons of history ! Go examin the charters and history of Hamas , fatah & Hezbelah and the statements of Ahmadinejad ...plus the fact that most countries that have the capabilities the help defend israel would rather thier heads in the sand and avoid confrontation with radical Islam.

26. very convincing number 24
its very obvious that just like me, you are an arab and you make our entire race look like idiots, grow up, say what you want to say because your not fooling any. PEACE is imposable while extremist are in power in the arab world
aussie arab ,   sydney, AUS   (06.10.08)
27. In this case Iran is right
I'm very much pro-Israel and a believer in settlements, but barbarianism is not part of Zionism. The entire Kadima party needs to go.

28. "I have a big rock!"
If I'm walking to school every day and the same bully follows me holding a huge stone in his hand saying, "I have this big rock and one day I'm going to throw it at your head!" Now if this happens to me every school day for 6 months and then I suddenly pull out a switchblade and hold my knife right up to the bully's throat and I say, "I've had it with your threats, see this knife? The next time you threaten my life, I'm going to slice your jugular vein open!" If the bully then turns around and says to me, "You'd better not try to attack me otherwise you're dead--got that! You're dead!" So how is this any different than Ahmadinejad threatening to destroy Israel almost every day in his lunatic rants and then the Israelis making it perfectly clear that they might militarily hit Iran before Iran launches a first strike at Israel? Am-I-dead-brain can dish it out but can't take it; just as with my big bully example. Any sane person being continually threatened with death threats has every right to give advance warning to the person whom is making the death threats that he/she is willing to kill his/her attacker! A bully has no moral rights to complain about threats of violence to him/her if he/she is the person whom actually started this entire death threat business in the first place!

29. #15 You'll squeal like a piggy
when Iran trains its nukes on your hometown in the USA. Easy for you to sacrifice Israel and put a blanket over your head. Ahmadinejad considers the USA to be the Big Satan and you're just another infidel enemy. And how is it that you know what the Mossad does? Did you see the new Adam Sandler movie and now you're an expert?
