121. Good job Obama (who lied about stopping a nuclear Iran)
Nick ,   Colorado, USA   (08.22.10)
I do hope that ALL of the roughly 80% of American Jews that voted for Obama are ashamed of themselves. Lets not let the blame fall solely on those Jews, but on all those that voted for OBummer. (not to say the republicans had anything much better).

Learn to stop worrying and love the muslim bomb
125. Iran, nuclear power plant
Springer67 ,   Parma USA   (08.22.10)
Israel, you have my deepest sympathies. Even so, you were foolish and trusted this US government one time to many. The way your Prime Minister was treated not so long ago should have been a giant red flag for you. You trusted someone untrustworthy, and now you are alone. I trust you will now make the correct decisions to keep your country safe. The talks, you and the Palestinians are invited to in DC, watch out this is another setup for you. Learn from your earlier mistake. Good luck and may God be with you!

brainpowerinuse ,   Denver, USA   (08.22.10)
Adam,You are so completely clueless it's astounding. I can see the bars on the doors of your closed mind through the drivel you believe is an insightful comment. For example, Israel has only been in the Middle East as a modern country since WWII--not thousands of years. Also, Iran has already claimed that one of their primary goals is to remove Israel from the planet. What do you propose that Israel do? Before your next post, do a little research before you expose your ignorance.
127. iran & nuclear weapons
duart maclean ,   montreal, canada   (08.22.10)
Iran is not a civilized country; it is a theologically driven dictatorship and an oppressive regime. Iran's leaders cannot be trusted. They are enemies of the non-muslim world, as well as much of the muslim world. Yes, they want nuclear reactors for power, but clearly they want the atomic bomb as well. No use burying our heads in the sand on this one. Their new reactors must be destroyed, and now.
128. RE RE Hypocrites
Graeme ,   London UK   (08.22.10)
@Julius in Denver. Of course it's not based on intelligence. Was the Iraq war? No, it's based on money and greed. It's based on a wish for Iran to not be the regions energy superpower. It's based on a powerful Israel lobby. Duh!
129. RE: N..a..i..v..e
Graeme ,   London UK   (08.22.10)
Will God be in control when the dollar collapses and New York City looks more like Mexico city too? This is why Israel's plans to attack Iran come to nothing, the US can not afford it! And soon they won't be able to afford propping the place up either..
130. to dennis anner in new york
peter kirbs ,   teesside England   (08.22.10)

Dont you think your soldiers have had enough of war in the middle east? who,s next after iran dennis? why not blow the chit out of the UK for the BP Oil spill maybe>? is that your answer to every thing blow em up? you need help.
131. Muhahahaha
Me   (08.22.10)
Israel seems most of the time like a delusional childish bully who need a serious correction to grow up. I can keep myself laughing at their appalling and hypocrite gov and front-groups propaganda, at their brainwashed zealots ludicrous litany. We have to keep them in check.
132. didnt expect the wetern responses to these developments
jerusalem   (08.22.10)
that was weird. Stay cautious iran, they have something up their sleeves. ha! with or without the damn intl community, after so many years, they've got it! of all the people who denounce these recent developments, israel?! the same country that has been keeping their own storage of nukes for decades despite heed from the US, or even the UN?! What perfect time to use the hypocrite card, again! I really hope that developing the country will go faster from now on, despite all the hardships the long intact sanctions have eroded. good luck iran!
133. re: You have to be joking me!!!
abirwashere ,   Fira, Santorini   (08.22.10)
Matty Groves, how many UN resolutions has Hamas in Gaza ignored? 0 (see: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/20/AR2010082004682.html?hpid=opinionsbox1). So Hamas/Gaza have 0 UN resolutions calling them out for their actions. They must be good people then! Why don't you invite them over to Fairport for a hug and a kiss? The UN is a farce. You want to talk about zero credibility? yikes!
134. Iran and Israel
Alistair ,   Scotland   (08.22.10)
Iran is just mouthy! If Iran behaved like Israel the world would have destroyed it many years ago,as for america no wonder its hated in the m.e .When Israel behaves in a normal way and nolonger tries to steal land murder and oppress its nieghbours.If it were not for U.s protection of Israel we'd have a mostly peaceful terrorist free middle east
135. It is not proliferation
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (08.22.10)
Only rapid increase in rabbit population is a proliferation risk exposing death danger to Israel Large rabbit population may eat vegtable and you will starve Get a good sleep this night USA, Insurer for Israel on Iran nukes spokse thus and guaranteed it is not proliferation
136. CRITICISE IRAN AND EXPOSE ISRAEL
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.22.10)
The way Israel's leaders are reacting to the fuel-loading of the Busheir plant has made it even worse for the Israeli's.Israel is being more exposed of dirty history of its own occupation of lands belonging to others and more people in the world are wondering what Israel thinks of itself as being a band leader in trying to stop Iranians in every convceivable way.
137. Plutonium vs. Uranium
landsman ,   France   (08.22.10)
I'm assuming the reason there was no hard line on this plant from Israel or the US - read: military response - was that it's a non-issue from a containment / nonproliferation standpoint. The Iranian nuclear program appears from all appearances to be aiming to develop a weapon based on enriched uranium...not on plutonium. That's why this plant won't significantly speed up their development of a bomb. The byproduct of this plant will be plutonium. But it's not enough plutonium, in itself, to create a fissile weapon for quite awhile. And it doesn't help their uranium enrichment scheme, or get them any closer to developing a weapon on their main track. Israel is right not to take the bait here. Focus on the centrifuges; sabotage them or shut them down by force. Or, in a perfect world, scare Ahmedinejad personally into shutting them down himself.
138. Israel's nuclear "status" is the epitome of unnacceptable
Bob ,   Calgary, Canada   (08.22.10)
For all the noise Israel is making about Iran's reactor, let's not forget that that in the 70's in blatant violation of a UN arms embargo, Israel developed nuclear weapons with South Africa, and even offered to sell the finished product.
139. Israel's Tyranny
R.L Clark ,   Middle TN USA   (08.22.10)
Adam from Culver City: Are you being serious and thus completely insane or please tell me you're kidding. Do you know Islam's versus Jewish history at all? If you're comment was serious I assume you barely know recent history let alone the ancient history of these two peoples.
140. Don't be jealous!
IRAN#1   (08.22.10)
Instead of being the sterotypical jealous jews learn some manners from the always noble and polite Persians and congratulate Iran in this historic day.
141. Nutjobs Don't Deserve Threatmaking Technology
Sam ,   Atlanta   (08.22.10)
It was ahmadinejad who said “Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury,” and "..the Zionist Regime of Israel faces a deadend and will under God's grace be wiped off the map.." If deeds follow words, then it was Iran who dropped the first bomb here - not the Judean nation that founded "And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us..." (John 1:14) The nations of the world are coming against the most high God, just as prophesied in the book of Daniel and Revelation...
142. 1938 Krisallnacht
Ezekiel 38_39 ,   USA   (08.22.10)
It's 1938 Germany all over again. Iran is Germany. The world talks while Israel's enemies arm themselves. This time Israel is not defenseless. She has WMD and G-d on her side. G-d said once He restores the Jews to Israel she would never be destroyed again. Ahmadinajead, Russia, or no one else will be able to destroy her. Israel: Look up! Your redemption draws nigh!
143. correction
nukes ,   LA, USA   (08.22.10)
Pakistan has Nukes. Israel is the only place that is responsible and needs them to deter. Look at a map Israel is tiny but all the middle eastern countries want to remove them from the earth.
144. mutual destruction
Tim ,   Chicago USA   (08.22.10)
If Iran is insane enough to use a nuke on Israel then they will be nuked in return. The question is, will Israel make a preemptive strike thus provoking the ire of the world? If Israel is nuked there are countries that will take them in, but who would take in the Iranians? Shiites are not so popular in the Muslim world.
145. Difference between nuclear israel vs. nuclear Iran
Jack ,   Los Angeles USA   (08.22.10)
When the enemies of Israel put down their arms, there will be peace. When Israel puts down their arms, they will cease to exist. People who compare Israel's nuke to Iran's and say its the same are either naive, ignorant of the past 30 (or 60) years, or simply hate Israel. It is like comparing a peaceful citizen carrying a concealed weapon to protect himself after numerous death threats; versus a deranged, emotionally unstable guy threatening to kill the citizen, carrying a gun. Both might be illegal, but the difference is huge.
146. I cannot believe......
Carolyn Goldstein ,   USA   (08.22.10)
the PM, or anyone in Israel, would trust the US' estimate,especially, after the 2006 report and the IAEA corruption headed by El Baredai. Didn't he learn fron Bill Clinton? Now, Hillary is Sec. of State! How is it possible, Bibi would buckle and permit 7.2 million lives live under Iranian domination? He will go down in history as having permitted-enabled- 6Million more Jews' Holocaust-AND hos own and his family's and all else that would be destroyed, including Jerusalem- and more than a million Jewish children. It's like watching a nightmare you can't wake-up from so it would disappear. It ALL rests on him. No one is going to make him accountable?
147. To the Idiots and Jew Haters
CS Goldstein   (08.22.10)
Why don't you understand, Iran has Europe and the US in its sites as well? How incredibly stupid and hateful are you that you are so blinded by hate, you don't know this?
148. ignorance
ohreally ,   detroit USA   (08.22.10)
Your comment cannot be taken seriously, and you cannot really believe these things unless you are a clueless and ignorant moron. Israel has ALWAYS been on defense throughout its existence. If you are so in love with Iran maybe you should move there. We will see what liberties you enjoy then. Moron.
149. Norm in Great Neck
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (08.22.10)
Where are your kids serving? How many are in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Bahrain? Iran doesn't need ICBMs or nukes to hit out people in theatre. They only need some whacked out Israeli politician to give them an excuse.
150. You guys are funny...
Disgusted ,   Earth   (08.22.10)
"Israeli Foreign Ministry says country that 'so blatantly violates UN resolutions, IAEA decisions should not enjoy fruits of using nuclear energy'" Look who is talking!!! Israel is pointing fingers at other countries for violating UN decisions. Are you for real???
