61. Iranians talk tough, but always lie
Armond   (03.18.12)
Keep their lies from harming Israeli fun. They've got lots of bots but their country is gone. Keep it that way. Fight for Israel today.
62. Israel should keep their barking to a minimum...
Robert ,   Australia   (03.18.12)
....or Iran may be forced ino a pre-emptive attack on Israel. Don't you people understand that the hooha over Iran is purely to divert the world's attention fro Israel's ambitions to evict Palestinians from their territories.
63. Dog eh
Mike Shore ,   Dallas, Texas   (03.18.12)
Name calling is easy, but history will remember this Iranian politician who stood by and did nothing when so many young people were killed and oppressed by the current regime which thrives on hatred and conflict. I would not call him a dog. Dogs deserve better. He is more of a hyena or jackal.
64. #12 very unfair
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (03.18.12)
I have no explanation for what you write because it is totally untrue. The Green Revolution was the last chance to replace Ahmadinejad and bring peace without killing people. Heroic Iranians stood up to the regime facing a level of brutality that makes Assad look like a nice guy. The protesters might have succeeded except that Obama, Americas most racist and stupid president, supported Ahmadinejad while his forces raped and murdered any protester they could get.
65. The disaster that is Iran
Tim ,   Brighton   (03.18.12)
Every analysis on the economics of nuclear energy shows it does NOT make ANY economic sense whatsover given decomissioning costs and especially when alternatives are available. Other than for weapons there is no logical reason for this ridiculous entity in Iran to scandalously squander 30% of its GDP on a WHITE ELEPHANT! Do they think it would add in any way to its 'international standing'? WRONG! So even it it has nuclear weapons what could it do? What RETURN could it secure? Maybe it believes that by a new carrot and nuclear weapons approach it could get its way in the world with just about anything? WRONG AGAIN Or as one analyst surmised the regime could be looking to create an export industry in nuclear weapons for a return on this huge investment -by exporting nuclear weapons to Chavez, Cuba, Hezbollah, Hamas, North Korea, Pakistan, Chechnya etc. Mmm Do they think the world would stand for this kind of proliferation? WRONG AGAIN 0/3 Marks And BAD BAD MISCALCULATIONS Shows just how idiotic, lying and dangerous to the world this regime truly are
66. Risk Analysis - Iran
Tim ,   Brighton   (03.18.12)
If you take into account the following Risk of Iran closing the Hormuz or war in the egion Risk to Oil Flow through the Gulf Risk to Stock Market Values Risk of massive Slow Down in Global Economy Who suffers most? Interestingly by FAR - CHINA and INDIA Why? Because they are most exposed vis their oil supplies from Iran, are hugley dependent on exports and global demand and in terms of the social implications at home have got the MOST TO LOSE So you would have thought it was IN THEIR INTERESTS to ACTIVELY and URGENTLY seek solutions...yet they sit on their hands on the sidelines hoping others can do the work for them whilst they extract underhand short term trading advantages with Iran Well I can only say if or when this does happen and when TENS OF MILLIONS of Chinese and Indians are out of work or whose businesses collapse - it will be far too late - years of incredible progress lost - becauise they refused to take their international responsibilities seriously
67. To Al Gurnov - RT
Tim ,   Brighton   (03.18.12)
Hi Al Following your interview with the Iranian Ambassador to Moscow last night you asked viewers to suggest any others they would like to to interview Is it possible to interview the Israeli Ambassador to Moscow to hear his views? Thanks Tim
68. WE IS THE DOGS' BOLLOCKS.
DA REGGAE MAN ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (03.18.12)
69. Junkyard: Beware of Dog!
Jack B. ,   USA   (03.18.12)
Hey, Iran...you better be careful of that Junkyard dog...cause his bite is always worse than his bark!
70. Robert # 62
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.18.12)
It's the barking from Australia from people who are looking for attention that we need to look our for. Of course, your being one of them I don't have to tell you that do I?
71. What's Iran going to do?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.18.12)
Throw twelve year old boys in front of Israeli missiles? LOL! The Iranians actually believe their own rhetoric. Their so-called "leadership" is leading Iran down a path of complete destruction, and still the people do nothing. Or should I say "sheeple?"
72. G_d only knows.
bzfrmr ,   BZ   (03.18.12)
Israel and Iran both want the element of surprise. When Israel shows new "bunker-busters" to news cameras and Iranians show off new long-range missiles, it is all calculated. They all keep the best for last. G_d bless Israel.
73. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.19.12)
So what are you going to do when the "barking dog" sends your ass to Jordan? You need to keep in mind that Iran is a mangy cur whose bark is much worse than its bite. You also need to keep in mind that Israel is championship stock whose bite is VERY much worse than its bark. Have a great time in Amman.
