4. Thank you for the awsome advice
Concerned ,   Person   (02.25.11)
This article just proves on how stupid and slow and useless the IAEA is,they just figured out that Iran might be making a weapon. These people need to get out of the caves they live in, Iran has been known to be developing a weapons program for the last 7 years....

Persian CAT   (02.25.11)
Iran is given iron-clad security guarantees by its main enemiy, the US, announcing and working towards making the ME a nuclear free zone. that means NO NUKES, period. Othewise Iran's publicly announced policy by Rafsanjani during his presindency still holds. That policy is rational and legal. FYI, that policy stipulates Iran wants to be "a srewdriver away from the nuclear weapon". If anyone has a problem with that, they need to come up with a better solution. So far no one has, and saber rattling and counter-productive sanctions have not, and will not, worked.
7. Brazen, I could say the same about...
Persian CAT   (02.25.11)
the Apartheid regime that you seem to be supporting.
8. I hope it's true
World citizen ,   World   (02.25.11)
I hope Iran is really going after a nuclear bomb, I would love to see Israel in complete panic over this, it would be sooooooo hilarious lol If one person reads this comment it's mission accomplished ...
9. the old and the beautiful don't mix
jo   (02.25.11)
How do you like that; Iran is under 4 sets of UN sanctions for his refusal to stop uranium enrichment. Same type of sanctions that got N. Korea their bomb. How clever this UN must be. These worthless sanctions reflect the misguided strategy, the incompetance of the UN, EU, UN to stop proliferation ----- a total failure. Same as the mideast strategy a big NADA. Old fat men with old ideas trying to stop a younger, more aggressive foe, with new ideas.
10. No. 8 - World Citizen
Boris Yasdnilkov ,   Fernandina Beach, US   (02.25.11)
There is quite a difference between being a world citizen and being a responsible citizen of the world. The ego displayed in your irresponsible post assures me that you will read this.

As far as I know, Brazen doesn't support Dhimmitude, which seem to be a Muslim exclusive FYI - Jihad and Dhimmitude: Victimless Islamic Institutions? For well over a millennium, across three continents - Asia, Africa,and Europe - non-Muslims have experienced jihad war ideology, and its ugly corollary institution, dhimmitude. Today, the debate among Muslim scholars regarding the theological "correctness" of "lesser" versus "greater" jihad are meaningless to the millions of non-Muslim victims- Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, and Buddhists - of countless jihad wars. What is important is that after all this time, Muslims finally acknowledge the suffering of these millions of non-Muslim victims of jihad wars, as well as the oppressive governance imposed on non-Muslims by the laws of dhimmitude. Thus far this brutal history has been completely denied, and even celebrated as "enlightened" conquest and rule. In this essay we will introduce, briefly, the rationale and historiography of these twin Islamic institutions, and provide evidence of their contemporary revival Pussycat If you want more info, don't be bashful, just ask, it's yours free of charge, no reason at all for you to delay your request
14. yeah it's real hard to tell that the world citizen
is stuck in some ,   shithole country   (02.25.11)
Bitter, bitter little fish. Like a fish on a hook you will come... and lose just so you know everything!
15. THE INTELLIGENT INTELLIGENCE!!
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.25.11)
How many intelligence agencies are going to report the Iranians to be'not developing Nuclear bombs'? None, of course!!So let us get used to hearing,from time to time,about these one track messages coming from known sources who simply are worried about Iran and tend to publish these so called intelligence report.
16. #8 Out of this world Citizen
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.25.11)
You really are a vicious fool, if you don't realize that Iran is also pursuing a long range rocket capable of reaching the USA and already has one that is capalbe of hitting a large portion of Europe Combing the rocket and the Nuke will do a lot of harm to the rational people in this world, which of course would exclude you, since you would be wearing an adult diaper hiding in your basement I read the comment, also realized that you're a total idiot, that should be sedated, held under lock and key so you can't harm innocent people
17. #6 CAT
solomon ,   bklyn   (02.26.11)
And how did Iran create an enemy? Maybe by threatening the US, threatening an the ally, threatening Europe, supporting terrorism, supporting those that have attacked the US? You think? Iran has threatened everyone. Israel has never threatened nuclear war and did not use any nuclear munitions even when they were in trouble during the Yom Kippur war. There IS a difference which you are too blind to see. So what else is new?
18. #8
World Citizen II   (02.26.11)
I like your name and I like your attitude. You are completely right. There must be counter force to Israel in the ME. Otherwise, this conflict will never be solved and terror will be the result. A balanced power is the only guarantee for world peace!
19. Iran Nukes
The Persian ,   Iran   (02.26.11)
Iran already has what it needs for security! U can’t deal with Iranian ship in the Mediterranean, let alone Nuclear program. Obama, should dust his knees, stop …. bowing to AIPAC, and start having some self-respect and becoming a MAN. Shame on the puppet...! Israel will not be allowed to rule the ME. Never, Never & Never.

You persians and arabs JUST CAN'T BE TRUSTED, you gave us ALL the reason. See Ya Cause I Wouldnt Want Ta Be Ya.
22. #13 BEN JABO
Brazen   (02.26.11)
thanks for getting my back. FYI For YOU Bouchik I would NEVER EVER EVER be a dhimmi or live under dhimmitude, if I was confronted with such a choice I would meet my maker then accept the teachings of a cult, does that make you feel better?
23. WOW THE IAEA might think iran is
Jrodstein ,   Basalt, Colorado   (02.26.11)
trying to develop NUKE weaopons!!?!! Who would have ever thought the mullahs or ahmadjihad would lie like that! after all they are soooo very religious!
24. Since Iran moved it nuke R&D to N.Korea,new info on missiles
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (02.26.11)
most likely. To be frank, even if Iran gave full access to IAEA it still would not be enough to pass their inspection. Stopping Iranian influence in the region it the primary goal, while stopping nukes are second or even third on the list. There are over a dozen countries in the world that could produce nukes, Brazil, Argentina, S. Africa and many ex-Soviet countries have made nukes but don't have them at present, while Japan and S. Korea could produce them quickly if needed. If Iran wanted nukes quickly than centrifuges is simple a waste of time. A dozen very small Thorium breeder reactor could produce enough plutonium every 3 months for 4 to 8 bombs, with no uranium refining needed and Iran can already produce the needed heavy water. Thorium is 3 times more common than uranium and can be extracted from sea water or waste from rare earth mines in China.
25. Iran wants to go nuclear?
Mark ,   USA   (02.26.11)
What? Iran wants nukes? No. You must be joking..they only want peaceful nuclear energy, because they're rolling in too much oil and it's a burden.
26. HOW MUCH MORE HAS IRAN IN THE HIDING ?
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (02.26.11)
The Predictions that Iran Has so and So many Years to the Bomb, is mere speculations. Orao.Srbia.
27. DOES ANYONE THINK FOR A MOMENT, THAT WE CAN BE BOTHERED?
tom ,   tel aviv   (02.26.11)
Seriously: the whole treatment of Iran is so eminently bungeled by all parties, that another "Eureka" from this or that expert- in- the- know can only arouse a yawn. <<<<<>>>>>....
28. You people will keep barking....
Marco ,   Spain   (02.26.11)
and Iran will keep moving forward....
29. It's a quarter to midnight
Anton Orde ,   From Maputo   (02.26.11)
30. #18 WORLD CITIZEN - I DON'T LIKE U
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.26.11)
OR THE OTHER MORON with the same name Israel is SURROUNDED by hostile, lousy neighbors; she has yet to attack any of them FIRST There is no such thing as "Balanced Power", there never will be, it's a fantasy for people that prefer to delude themselves One side will always want to have one more bullet than the other You and the other moron can go back to playing in your sandboxes While you're at it, go ahead and settle the conflicts in Libya, Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Tunisia, which, of course are all the fault of Israel You both belong in the loony bin
