91. RE: Israel Blew Opportunity?
Scott ,   Calgary, Canada   (08.22.10)
"I prayed hard for God to give much wisdom." Yes, because if there is anyone that can solve the problems in the Middle East, it's a fiction deity, fond of using flaming topiary and pedophiles as a communications medium.
92. Evil Iran
JIM ,   USA   (08.22.10)
John, you are completely niave to think Iran will only use nuclear energy to generate energy. They little evil man they call a president has said publicly that he would destroy Israel if he had a chance. Israel has the right to defend themselves and I wish they would turn Iran into glass. One less Muslim country would make this world a better place. Islam is a disease of epic proportion and should go back to hell where it came from.
93. Nuclear Iran
Ken ,   East, Texas   (08.22.10)
Have patience, the Iranians are just a (nuclear) accident waiting to happen. Their incompetence will haunt them.
94. RE: Ahmadinejad's war against the world
Ephraim ,   Henderson, NV US   (08.22.10)
RE: Ahmadinejad's remarks: "Our options will have no limits... They will touch the entire planet," If, as his comments suggest, Ahmadinejad desires to go to war against Israel and "the entire planet," he shall. The only question is how long Israel and the United States (currently "led" by a president with the attention span of an amoeba) intend to wait before taking action to minimize the risk.
95. Hypocrisy
Tom Mundy ,   Brooklyn   (08.22.10)
It is indeed hypocrisy for Israel and US to criticize Iran for having nuclear ambitions while they themselves have nuclear weapons. Of course Israel sees threat, but stop being hypocrites please....
96. so awfully sorry
eilspaul ,   atlanta, ga   (08.22.10)
how horrible that iran is becoming a nuclear power under the watch of president obama. what a sad legacy for the people of america, israel, and the world. i fear we will all rue this day.
97. Israel cowered at the worst time
shmuel ,   NY,USA   (08.22.10)
shame on Beni
98. Israel-Iran
Karl W. Schwab ,   Houston, Texas USA   (08.22.10)
Israel should not trust the United States. Obama is a committed Muslim (by his own words) and he is for the complete destruction of Israel. Israel should NUKE Iran now while they still have the means.
99. Israel is only Democratic society in middle east
L ,   LR US   (08.22.10)
People, Israel is the only Democracy/Republic in the Middle East. The rest are controlled by Muslim dictators who are persecuting Christians and Jews the same. No one says anything about that when an Infidel is beheaded. Think about it, Israel needs some sort of deterrent to keep Muslims in the middle east from beheading them...Nukes...No Prob, Give em some more. Dont side with dictators that rule in blind religious zealotry. Remember King George...USA?
100. Iran/Nukes
Mark ,   Ft. Wayne, IN.   (08.22.10)
Israel MUST do what is necessary to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons. The United States and their flaccid, weak, naive leader, Barrack Hussein Obama can not be relied upon to do anything other than issue meaningless threats and placate the villains. Strike now.
101. Painfull Truth
Moshe Obrien ,   DC   (08.22.10)
1. Israel is a full democracy like US, UK and other modern societies. Iran? No. 2. Israel provides full equality to citizens (female, arab, minorities, gays) Iran? No. 3. Israel produces over 700 patents annually, many for medicine and biomedical devices. Iran? Zip again. 4. Israel, US and UK are the only ones upset about a nuclear Iran? No, Saudia Arabia, Syria and the UAE know a nuclear Iran would destabilize the middle east and have made this no secret. The truth hurts the closed minded.
102. Nukes in the Middle East
Archie1954 ,   Vancouver, Canada   (08.22.10)
Israel has stated that Iran's nuclear reactor is unacceptable but didn't mention that its own nuclear weapons are unacceptable to the whole Middle East.
103. Lots of Talk=No Action
A.C.Guard ,   USA   (08.22.10)
Just a lot of talk. Israel's leaders continue to bemoan the fact that Iran will or has developed a nuclear weapon and delivery system, yet they do nothing about it. Since Israel is Iran's natural target one might say your government has failed to protect the lives of each of you and future generations to come.
104. Too Late Now
Dan ,   USA   (08.22.10)
Once Iran gets a nuclear weapon, Israel will be blackmailed almost out of existance. It is obvious Bibi and the rest of your leaders have no interest in protecting your country. Where was the outcry from the people?
105. Your comment
joebidenjr ,   washington dc   (08.22.10)
And obuma's not "throwing our rights out the window"?
106. It is hard to tell
Joseph Azwaw ,   Pennsylvania USA   (08.22.10)
This it did not happend under president BUSH there was a raison for it.The best gift to iran by the USA is the election of barak hussein obama.I am sure by the end of this administration iran will have another nuclear reactor and nothing is going to happend to them,I assure you we the american people and the israelis will pay a bigger price for letting this crazy nation to go nuclear. This is the hope and change mrs hussein obama talks about. Wake up Israel and do something now before hitlerdjade get more power.
107. put up or shut up
arnon ,   arizona, usa   (08.22.10)
Israel "SAYS" unacceptable. Quit "SAYING" and start "DOING." If you don't like it, a replay of what Israel did to the Osirak Reactor in Iraq must take place.
108. Nuclear Iran
james ,   pittsburgh USA   (08.22.10)
The bible tells us that in the last days nations will disappear. I think we will now see that happen, via nuclear weapons. May God forgive all of US.
109. US will be pro Israel again soon!
Matt ,   Iowa, USA   (08.22.10)
The Jews are God's covenant people, and the US is predominantly supportive of Israel. When November rolls around and the dems up for reelection become unemployed, Israel will start getting the support they need from us. The people of the US are starting to wake up big time to the bad consequences of liberal policy. It's right vs wrong, good vs evil, and this is for all the marbles. Obama can try to push his Islamic agenda, but our people's voice will speak loud enough to put this anti-semitism in reverse. God said of Israel, "I will bless those who bless you". If Israel goes, it means curtains for the whole world.
110. wrong on all acounts
pete ,   pasadena, USA   (08.22.10)
hey john, how often does the Israeli PM go on TV and vow to "wipe Iran off of the map?" get your head out of the clouds and into reality. Israel has a right to defend themselves and Ahmedinejad has done nothing but promise the destruction of Israel, has he not? And as far as occupation is concerned, this was Israels land to begin with, end of story. people are all bent b/c Hamas is showing peopel what they want them to see..
111. ignorance
donald cohen ,   providence usa   (08.22.10)
one big difference-- israel has never threatened any other country with nuclear attack---morons
112. D'oh
Eli   (08.22.10)
Of course that's only because more UN resolutions have been leveled against Israel than against any other nation...
113. Iran would mess themselves if.....
Dr. Ferrari ,   Vicenza, Italy   (08.22.10)
Iran would mess themselves if Israel would take the offensive. They are just bullies and have always been. I lived in Iran for 5 years, and can tell you that the leaders do not have the support of the people and most of the military. God be with Israel.
114. Who cares??
Reggie ,   Los Angeles, USA   (08.22.10)
Mystic or is it Mohammed either way You are a moron.... Goldstone Report???? Go hide in your cave with the dead Osama!!!!!
115. Delusional
Daniel ,   Rochester, MN   (08.22.10)
You're Delusional. Jews began purchasing land in the mid-1800's to restore what was at the time an unused and neglected area. The land was purchased, and the residents were employed - the people welcomed this. You're either completely ignorant, or purposefully lying to suit your own sick twisted agenda.
116. Israel's Tyranny
Richard ,   Hermitage, USA   (08.22.10)
Adam, I think you better look up the term Tyranny. You obviously don't know its meaning and you words sound foolish.... Iran is the county that is governed by a tyrant. You know when your citizen's don't have the freedom to protest and if you do your shot, hung or disappear. Wake up Adam
117. Geography Lesson about Turkey
Howard ,   Chicago   (08.22.10)
There is much confusion above about where Turkey is located. It actually is partially in Europe and partially in Asia. Maybe that is why its politics are subject to crosswinds from both the East and West.
118. Wimpy US Reaction
Andrew ,   USA   (08.22.10)
our rights under this administraton are already out the window, only the elitist get special rights
119. let's put an end to all this
celos ,   denver, colorado   (08.22.10)
let's put an end to all this nonsense in the middle east. its obvious that iran will attack israel the first chance it gets. and the russians are more than happy to accomadate them as long as it puts america in a no win situation politicly, and let's call it like it is, any way russia can hurt america without getting it's hands dirty is a bonus to them.so in this overly politicly correct world i'm gonna say something very non pc. lets bring all our troops home from the middle east and nuke everything east of jerusalem, then back the oil trucks up, I can go for $.99 a gallon gas again, we wouldn't have to deal with this crap anymore, and muslims dont give me the innocent people thing, cuz i still remember 9/11 and seeing muslims dancing in the streets and its funny how no innocent muslims ever come out say anything against these nuts...hey i dont want to see children die either, but when are you do gooders and america and israel are the problem people gonna understand better their children then ours...and thats the truth
120. Hypocrites is right
jh ,   US   (08.22.10)
Nobody is thrilled about Iran's nuclear ambitions, but pointing a finger at Iran's violations of UN Resolutions is a disgusting joke coming from the Israeli regime. No other country is in violation of more UN Resolutions. Look it up. Israel, if you want the world to abide by UN resolutions, you should get your own house in order. Then maybe the rest of the world would stop looking down on you. Yeah, looking down on you. The world is waking up and starting to see what you have been for the last 50 years. Get your affairs in order. Start playing by the rules you want everyone else to follow and we'll all willing come back to loving you for the great country you should and could be.
