1. Good for the goose...
Tom ,   NYC   (03.11.09)
If Israel has nuclear weapons then so should Iran. Period!
2. #1 Why Tom?
Jjjay3 ,   Israel   (03.11.09)
So they can nuke little Satan and then greater Satan? Enjoy the fallout fool!
3. agreement/deceivement
Siul ,   Madrid   (03.11.09)
Dangerous,naive, crazy and shamefull. With the "evil powers", the worst solution is the agreement, allways they wll deceive you. The Bible explains as must be the strategy with them. Up IsraelĀ”
4. More talks to nowhere
Brod ,   USA   (03.11.09)
Devoid of rationality, the fanatics in Iran are hellbent on their nukes whether there are no talks or more talks. Hence, Obama should not do any more experimentations when others have already hit a stonewall of fanaticism. More useless overtures will give more time for the fanatics to complete their nukes. It does not take rocket science to see the dots. The pattern is so clear.
5. #1
Marat ,   USA   (03.11.09)
Does that mean that the US possession of nuclear weapons justifies every nation's possession of nuclear weapons. You don't see a difference between Iran, a dictatorship whose leader has made overt threats to destroy Israel and Israel, which has never used its nuclear deterrent or even threatened to? If you don't see the difference, then you need to read more history.
6. Obama
Brad ,   USA   (03.11.09)
If Ahmadinijad comes to a sudden halt, Obama's head will go right up his rear end.
7. Tom #1
Brad ,   USA   (03.11.09)
Hey Tom. What did Israel ever do to you to cause all your hatred for them? It must really tick you off, that Israel has been our best friend working together to keep both of our countries safe from these Muslim nightcrawlers. That includes your ungrateful carcass, Tom.
8. To Tom In NYC
Mike ,   New York, USA   (03.11.09)
I seriously can't believe how dense some people in this world can be. This isn't toys we're talking about here, Tom. These are NUCLEAR WEAPONS! As an American, I can't believe how naive and ignorant you are. I suppose if the UK has the rights to have nuclear weapons then so should Somalia? France has nukes, then so should Zimbabwe? Maybe since the US has nukes it wouldn't be "fair" unless Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Burma, North Korea, Congo, Tajikistan, and Sudan have them, too. Why stop with states? Every organization should be allowed to have nukes if Israel has them. From HAMAS to Hezbollah to drug cartels. Who cares if we all die in a nuclear holocaust, at least we would have made a point to Israel, right Tom?
9. 1#Tom : Israel`s bomb is defensive
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (03.11.09)
No need to add that Israel has no intention to wipe off Iran from the map. While Mr. Monkey Business has declared that Israel should cease to exist.
10. #1 a whack job
david ,   new york   (03.11.09)
because the US has nuclear weapon, so should osama bin laden?? i trust that most people are not so feeble minded.
11. Bless his heart. He doesn't have a clue.
Gideon Reader   (03.12.09)
Sorry. I am most sorry; to say that the new Socialist President of the USA has *NO* plan for dealing with Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Taliban, the self inflicted and mortally wounded failing U.S.economy; for dealing with friends or enimies He (Zero the Marxist Brotha' is busy partying and "fixing" what aint broke, or breaking what needs to be left alone as he "wings" it with a daily but critically impactful WAG, (a"wild assed guess"). Clown Obama is about as incompetent and as kakistocratic as any person ever to grace the upper end of American Political history. And THAT includes the blatantly stupid and not unashamed of it , Joe Biden. God save the United States of America from these "George Jeffersonian" shanty trash with degrees.
12. Why???????????
Cyrus ,   Tehran   (03.12.09)
Why u guys think you are peacemaking and others are aggressive? Remember: Saddam invaded iran and all western countries backed Saddam! you peacefull nations! again Remember: Netherlans and Germany supplied Saddam with chemical weapons and as a result 100,000 iranians died; most of them civilians. there are many iranians still sufferring from chemical injuries in Hospital after 20 years. Remember: Iran had chemical weapons those days and could use as retaliation by international laws, but didn't!
13. Why?????????????
Cyrus ,   Tehran   (03.12.09)
O, I forget to say, One thumb up to israel, the only nation who didn't support Saddam during iran-iraq war!
14. OBAMA THE JERK !.
Orao Stranka. ,   Tsarigrad u Srbia.   (03.12.09)
Obama's plan for Iran OBAMA YOU ARE A JERK. FIRST - CONSIDER THE WORD OF GOD CONCERNING IRAN IN OLD TESTAMENT BOK OF HESEKIEL CHAPTER 38-39. SECONDLY - THE PEOPLE OF THE US VOTED FOR THE WRONG CANDIDATE FOR THE PRECIDENCY. BY JERK. Orao.
15. Obama a Jerk?
lawrence ,   phila, usa   (03.12.09)
# 14, How dare you call Obama a Jerk. That is an insult to jerks everywhere. A joke, YES. But he far exceeds jerk.
16. #13
(03.12.09)
you are correct! israel didn't support this war at all. israel (mr. ariel sharon) also told bush NOT to invade iraq on many many occasions, but bush didn't listen to israel at all. most of the world after usa entered iraq said that it was because of israel. but that is not true. israel had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WAR IN IRAQ AND BEGGED BUSH NOT TO START IT!!! because the israelis knew the middle east mentality and what could happen in the region if the usa captured iraq. it is your incredibly stupid and hateful president, ahmadinejad, who is aggressive and violent and threatens this middle east region and the suni arab states because iran wants total control over the arab world. this is why your president does what he does. your economy is also in very bad situation, one million and more heroin drug addicts, 30% unemployment, the country is starving and its young and able iranians are unemployed and unhappy. your president and the mullahs are USING YOUR ONCE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY for their political agenda and spending billions to support terrorists organizations like hamas and hizbullah and terrorist syria and not feeding and taking care of your country. you need a new government. one that is friendly and modern and can live side by side with the civilized world in peace and without threats. the iranian good people would benefit from free market, democracy and less threats of its neighbors.
17. Hey, Tom and the the rest of Toms are nothing.
leo ,   USA   (03.12.09)
You better worry Obama doesn't do anything stupid ... again.
18. end of israel
warren ,   atl bch, fl   (03.12.09)
nobody has yet figured out that obama hates the jewish nation. he has no intention of interfering with iranian nuclear program. iran already has the pledged military support of both russia and china. obama will not commit national suicide over a country and a race he despises. yet, we still see the talking heads acting as if the great one will step forward and save the jewish nation. have you even been paying attention to the obama administration latest picks? none of them have any love for israel that much is evident. my only advice for netanyahu is hit first with everything you've got. make no apologies. hitler ended his day killing half of all jews living in europe. don't let iran finish the job.
19. 13#We support you, not your
Dani ,   Israel   (03.12.09)
ridicilous extreme regime! Why didnt you keep your real culture, and let the Islamic Arabs take over you? The culture of enlightment and civilization started by Cyrus the Great, we'll never forget how he let the Jews back in their land after babylion(ironiclly, iraq of nowdays) exile. Good luck and I hope you'll have freedom!!
20. 18# Very possible
Dani ,   Israel   (03.12.09)
Yes it might be very real, as US approaching to Syria and Iran, it might not need Israel anymore, she might have had interests in Israel as a part of the ME, thus the massive support. We might not be a necessary puppet anymore. After all no one yelled when 6M Jews evaporated, so why would someone care if a nuke falls here- only reason is that a nuclear retaliation on the Arabs would likely destroy the oil feilds- that could be the reason for a concern on nuking Israel.
21. Obama and Iran
Grant Thomas ,   Brookfield, WI, USA   (03.17.09)
Israel must not trust Obama in his dealings with Iran or the Muslims. If he is not one himself, he is likely more sympathetic to them than he is to the state of Israel. Like most Democrats, he is weak-willed when it comes to defense. They generally have no guts and would rather give up than fight. You will see our defense structure seriously weakened in the next four years while they pour money into socialist programs and enlarge the government. Israel, trust in YHWH, not the U.S.
