Why don't you at ynetnews "black-shadow" outline his face on all articles from now on?? we already know what his Jewish-hatemongering disgusting image looks like. just make his face solid blackened out profile from now on. we all are sick off having his filthy face on our news sources.

You are the real Persians that should be running the country. We dont want to attack anyone, but the crazy Ayatollahs are leaving us with no alternatives! We used to have very good relations before these ISmaic extremists stole your country and i hope one day we will be friends again. I just hope that after we attack, the people take advantage of the situation and oust this horrible regime. I would love to see the Ayatollahs hung in the street for the world to see!

So we just let Iran go ahead and nuke us ?

They are already democratized. This will send them running for the nuts in charge to lead them? So What. The Germans went running to Hitler whether he was attacked or Germany was the one invading other countries. Iran and its people want to go to war....they see no consequences if they start a war....they just want to fight. You might as well quit making excuses and drop the bombs already. Warring nations sprout up just like weeds. They grow in every garden....and someone has to pull them eventually. Otherwise they kill the very vegitation that we all live off of.

Alex, It is generally a good idea to refrain from launching insults at people who you do not know. If you want to criticize my political view or my interpretations, fine, that's fair game, but it stops well short of denigrating an individual for who he or she is. If you don't recognize this, then you lack maturity and I will not waste my time with the likes of you. Besides -- do it again and I WILL make you cry.

You are assuming a priori that I care what you do and do not want. Here's a news flash: I don't.

I'm not sure that you did understand this correctly, Sarah. The comment wasn't made by Ahmedinejad - in fact, he was not even mentioned in this article. As the article clearly states, the claim was made by exiled former vice-president Mohajerani. Probably, your confusion arises because the accompanying photo is of Ahmedinejad - or, perhaps, their names all look the same to you... In spite of what the West thinks of the present Iranian president, Ahmedinejad is quite popular in his own country. The wealthy middle-class and the elite of Iran don't like him because of his reforms to improve the lives of the country's vast numbers of poor, and it's only the wealthy middle-classes and elite who are squealing for revolution. And their candidate, apart from the reforms favouring the poor, is not much different from Ahmedinejad...

Sarah, sometimes I get the feeling that you are smart, yet at other times I know for a fact that you are down right stupid. When Israel attacked the nuclear facilities in Iraq, and later on the "alleged" nuclear facilities in Syria; no one in the whole wide world knew what has happened until it was over and the dust has settled. When it comes to Iran's nuclear facilities, Israel has been barking for years now but are frozen into inaction by fear of the consequences. You are not fooling anyone by your testosterone filled talkbacks. I suggest you get a man in your life and lay your theatrical BRAVADOS to rest once and for all.

Funny how there seem to be posts everywhere on www. by Jews and Israelis, from the prime minister of Israel and Israeli army generals down to dick heads like roland at #13, advocating an unprovoked attack on Iran. Funny, too, that it's hard to find even one similar comment from an Iranian advocating an unprovoked on Israel - and, please, don't give me any mistranslations of what Ahmedinajad has said regarding "wiping Israel off the map". And speaking of rank hypocracy: When is Israel going to let the IAEA inspect their facility at Dimona? Seems to me that the real aggressor in the region is Israel.

Mea culpa. Should have written Mohajerani. In the long run, however, while the names may change, the Islamofascist policy does not. All the mullahs are interchangeable parts. I disagree with respect to your take on the popularity of Ahmedinejad. I think that the Iranian people, generally speaking, are tired of thirty years of harsh theocratic rule. Iran's economy is in shambles, and unemployment is close to 30%. The sanctions have hurt Iran very deeply. We saw just a tiny little piece of the discontent that has been rumbling throughout Iran for a long time following the elections in June. And, as you astutely point out, there really is no difference between Ahmedinejad and the individuals who ran against him. The Iranian people are looking for change; not swapping one talking Islamofascist for another. They want real change.

Excuse me, did you say "unprovoked?" Oh, I beg to differ. First of all, Israel and Jews everywhere have had to listen to thirty years worth of rhetoric coming from Iran promising to "wipe the 'Zionist entity' from the map" and "throw the Jews into the sea." A week or so ago, Ahmedinejad promised to "destroy the heart of Israel." Moreover, please do not forget that both Hamas and Hizbollah are Iranian proxies -- funded, armed and spurred on by Iran. "Rank hypocrisy?" The United States hasn't allowed IAEA inspections. Neither has Russia, or the Soviet Union before that. China does not permit inspections, either. Why should Israel? Israel is not the aggressor in the region. Are you aware of the six wars and sixty-one years of unrelenting Palestinian terror that Israel has had to combat? Shame on you.

Good afternoon, Marco, Israel spent eight years utilizing public releases and quiet diplomatic effort to stop Saddam Hussein's nuclear ambitions. Only after all else failed, did Israel put the pedal to the metal. To great effect, I might add. Developments with respect to Iran are following the identical pattern. Warn, warn, warn, seek a diplomatic option, and when all else fails, roll up your sleeves and get the job done. And Israel will. Rest assured. And the best part is that there will be no consequences. The concept of a nuclear Iran frightens a lot of Iran's Sunni neighbors. They lack the wherewithal to respond with an effective military strike. Israel, on the other hand, has that capacity, in spades. And will probably have to use it because someone has to clean up the mess, and no one else is willing to step up to the plate. You shouldn't make assumptions or cast aspersions, dear. It makes you appear so petty and insignificant, much like when you write "Sarah B.S." That is something worthy of a third grader. Which might be your intellectual level; I grant you that. It doesn't cast you in a favorable light, though, and that might be something you care about.

That comment came from some general in the Republican Guard, not Ahmedinejad. And it was qualfied with, "if Israel drops just one bomb on Iran, we will..." So what if Hamas and Hizbollah are Iranian proxies? Isn't Israel itself a proxy for USA - funded, armed and spurred on by USA. Being a terrorist organisations is subjective - one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. After all, weren't the Jews who fought to establish the modern state of Israel called terrorist by the British, who sent to terrorist detention camps in Kenya? For 30 years, too, Iran has had to listen to the US et al claiming they're going to drive the mullahs out. Yes, rank hypocracy. The US, Russia, China and Iran have signed the NPT. Why doesn't Israel? Are you so naive that you suppose Israel is blameless for the past 61 years regarding Palestine? Try to be a bit objective, please. And the ruling elite in Saudi Arabia is just as harsh as the Iranian mullahs. Difference being that they're allowed to sell oil, Iran is not; Saudi Arabia has no sanctions, Iran does, so Iran's economy is a shambles. Neither Mohajerani or Ahmedinejad are mullahs, as you seem to imply in para. 1 of comment 37. "They want real change." Don't we all? Isn't that what Obama promised USA last year? Most likely what the Iranian people want, is for US to lift it's endless sanctions, stop threatening their sovereign state, and let them have a fair go.
