1. only the iranian
ghostq   (04.06.09)
can celebrate something so destructive, well the monkey did threatened Israel and Iran does have nuclear so what do they expect flowers from the Usa. it's logical when totalitarian country threatend on a democracy like Israel it get big slap on the wrist.
2. What happens to the nukes when the US break up?
Rod ,   Toronto, Canada   (04.06.09)
The Iranians bring up an interesting point. The US are living on borrowed money from China; their infrastructure is falling apart and their messiah (Obama) focusses on non-issues and maintaining the status quo with handouts to large corporations. What will happen to all their nukes, when they run out of cheap oil and break up? All empires break up eventually...
3. God bless Iran.
Waleed ,   Lebanon   (04.06.09)
Either no one should be allowed to have nuclear weapons, or it should be free for all. Enough double standards and hypocracy. I dont see Obama asking Israel to halt its nuclear program. Go to hell. Iran will have its nuclear deterent capabilities on thursday.
4. Yes, Empires Break Up
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (04.06.09)
As well you know, living in one. Do you expect Toronto to accept English-speaking Quebecois when your Canadian empire falls? Don\t hold your breath for your wished-for breakup of the USA. We survived Jimmy Carter. We just need to hang in another few years with Jimmy #2, then send him off to retirement where he can write The Hopelessness of Audacity. And while we wait, you might check up on the definition of empire, about whose meaning you haven't a clue.
5. #4; "The Hopelessness of Audacity." - I like that.
leo ,   USA   (04.06.09)
On brighter note, news of our forthcoming demise is greatly exaggerated.
6. to #3 Israel
ghostq   (04.06.09)

"their messiah (Obama) focusses on non-issues and maintaining the status quo with handouts to large corporations." Look much closer to what is really going on. Obama is doing everything but maintaining the "status quo". He and Nancy Polosci are gleefully converting the USA from it's free-market roots into a fascist state! The "economy" is just a cover so they can do all this with the urgency of an "emergency"! Do they loan money to corps.? Yes! But let those corps. try to repay the loan and the fascists Demos will not take the $$$ back! No, no! They want to completely control the large Corps. and they use the TARP $$$ to inforce their will! GM's CEO got the boot for not doing Big O's bidding. Gaitner has warned other corp. execs. to toe the line or they are out too! Hey, I got a deal for you! We will swap you all the States east of the Mississippi River and north of the Mason-Dixon line all Canadian Provinces touching Alaska! Why, hell, we'll throw in California, too!

11. #10 lol thank you
ghostq   (04.06.09)
and nuclear means offense not defense, if you know what nuclear means, Iran called openly to the destruction of Israel meaning it's about to commit genocid of innocents, including its arab civilians just like in the second Lebanon war when one of Hizb rockets killed an Israely woman and her 2 daughters. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3286746,00.html
12. Iranian nukes offensive, not deterrent
JPS ,   Efrat   (04.06.09)
The only people supporting Iranian nuclear weapons are those who either live under it's imperial rule already, or those who want to subject themselves to it. Everybody else in both the free and not-so-free (aka Arab world) see Iran for what it is - a threat to regional and world peace. There were only 2 atomic weapons used in anger in history and that was just after they were invented almost 65 years ago. Despite the nuclear inventories in the world, none has been used in anger since WW2. Most people think the Iranians are liars and that Iran wants to use nuclear weapons in a first-strike capacity. The world, obviously, cannot afford a mistake. Iran has already showed its imperialist intentions with its attempts to takeover Lebanon, Gaza and Iraq. Iran has already showed it despises freedom by locking away thousands of political prisoners, many of whom are tortured to death or simply executed without trial. Iran shows it rejects a free press and bans the opposition from running in elections. There is no reason in the world to give Iran nuclear weapons - the country cannot be trusted not to use them offensively.
13. Israel never threatened to annihilate any people or any ...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (04.06.09)
Israel never threatened to annihilate any people or any country. An irrational nuclear Iran in the region is not conceivable. A stable nuclear balance of power/balance of terror in the Middle East would be out of the question (nuclear proliferation in the M.E. could never create the same sort of stable equilibrium that was once obtained between the USA and USSR). Israel must remain the region’s only nuclear power. Moreover, Iran's program should not become a powerful proliferation driver, building on regional rivalry security concerns and one-upmanship.

Brad ,   USA   (04.06.09)
Israel has it's nukes, and we have our nukes, but we are not going around saying Iran has no right to exist. You need not worry, however. You see, Obama is nothing more than a puppet for the Israel haters like you. On the othere hand, you have much to worry about. You see, God, (the real God) will not bless Iran, Islam, or the Jew haters. You will lose.
15. When America destroys its nukes, only....
David ,   Hartford USA   (04.06.09)
psychopathic despot sh-t-for-brains countries will have them. It's like the cop who tells the armed robber that he's puttiing down his weapon so that they can talk ..... and the robber takes the opportunity to blow the cop's head off. Pardon us, Mr. Hassan Qashqavi, if we don't let down our guard. If you idiots thought nothing of sending a million of your young men to die in the waste of a war with Iran, then why would anyone with a working brain think you wouldn't cause more grief in the world? I have a better idea- how about you promise never to fire a nuclear weapon, and if you do, you give the world permission to bomb your entire country back into the stone age? Sound fair? Good. Let's go with that option, Barak, ok?
16. Nice Try Monkey but US is not that stupig
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (04.06.09)
17. This is the reason why
Albo ,   Canada   (04.06.09)
Some of you so-called independant or anti-semites ask why should Israel and the US be allowed nuclear weapons? First, they discovered the splitting of the atom, theory of relativity and quantom theory...thanks to the intellegence and hard work of albert einstein. Second, any state which says that they would ' wipe another state off the face of the earth' simply does not have a peaceful agenda aka Iran. These undemocratic societies clustered around israel do not have the polical responsibility to hold such physical power. Message to all muslim states: prove your worth through science and advanced education and help make a contribution to evolution rather than going backwords. Build schools rather than bombs and you will seek peace.
18. Once again Iran asks the relevant question
IRAN#1   (04.07.09)
And we hear all the hysterical non-intelligent responses. If nukes are bad then they are bad for everyone. Got it?!?!!?
19. to #14 the price of war
saher   (04.07.09)
israel consider any development in arabs army threaten her existance but why complainant now,since you have nuk then all has the right to have it,and yes you are not going around saying Iran has no right to exist but this is M.E muslims are connected to each other with islam,since you enjoy the suffer of palestinian then enjoy that with iran for now,tell you asmall story when iran reach thats point theres no back syria will automaticlly have it,Egypt will do it to be even with all,Gulf states will not accept to be the smallest so they will have it too,this area will reach to explosive point,its not about obama its about you idiot the one whoes begun that
20. #14 Brad
Ken ,   Burma   (05.08.09)
With the Jewish God blessing Israel what does it have to fear? Nukes can't destroy Israel, only the people in it and they will become closer to their God. You should be happy!
