12. Aftre we Bomb you back into the stone age
Edward Hoffman ,   New York USA   (10.07.12)
we will consider providing educational enrichment to ingrain religious and ethnic tolerance in the Iranian government and the Iranian population as a whole. In the meantime, Salehi and his cohorts only have two choices: dismantle your entire nuclear program or bend over and kiss your asses goodbye.
13. #11 - Do you know what happened to Dresden?
michael redbourn ,   Arad   (10.07.12)
I am right wing and will support an attack when the time is right. Militarily, the right time is the latest time possible because it would do the most damage. The best solution will be for the people to overthrow the regime. And they've done it before. I don't think you've experienced war.
14. Next proposal: Iran voluntarily gives up right to enrichment
Katamon ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.07.12)
So, we are getting close. Keep squeezing.
15. #13 michael...they are going underground !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.07.12)
The time is UP !
16. Massive hypocrisy here
Robert ,   Australia   (10.08.12)
Since when did either the US or Israel display truthfullness in their international dealings? The answer is never. When another entity acts in a similar fashion, oooohh that's not allowed, hypocrites.
17. The FIX is is In
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (10.08.12)
Obama has warned Iran that it must come to an agreement to limit enrichment before the US election. Iran's reward? Obama will constrain Israel from launching an attack. If Iran doesn't agree, obama loses the election. Iran knows it cannot let that happen because Ahmadinejad will not get anywhere with Romney. Remember, Reagan got the US hostages released on the day of his inauguration in 1980 by telling Iran, "If our hostages aren't on their way out of Iran by the time I take my oath of office, my first act as president will be to send the B52s. Your country will cease to exist. Iran knows Romney, if elected, will do likewise and support Israel fully in attacking and destroying the mullah regime. The fix is in. Secret negotiations are underway now and Iran WILL come to an agreement, ensuring Obama's desperately needed October surprise, and likely, his re-election. Iran will have earned permission to build its nukes by virtue of this win-win. Remember Obama will have more 'flexibility' only IF he's re-elected.
18. Only a complete embargo...
Taz Man ,   USA   (10.08.12)
...will bring them, quickly, to their knees. Other than that, they will continue their stalling games! Any fool sees that!!!
19. THE LIMIT WILL BE WHAT IRAN WANTS
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (10.08.12)

The west should be very carful with it's Approach towards iran. The iranien government Had been relatively quite successful in achieving Their goals up till now. But a very late and proper Action by the west started a interior crippling process Inside iran. The west should not under any circumstances "give an inch"!! Full submission and effective control are the only way out for iran.
21. Ironically
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.08.12)
this is the original demand of the 5 plus 1. The international Community has never said that Iran needs to stop enriching Uranium for their nuclear programme. All the 5 plus 1 have asked for is a fully verifiable way of ensuring that Iran does not enrich above 20%. Hopefully Russia and China will come up with a plan everyone in the 5 plus 1 can agree with. And our troops can be home in time for Christmas. Don't know how Netanyahu will take it though and that is a bit of a worry particularly with elections looming
22. Enrichment
Roger ,   Amman, Jordan   (10.09.12)
No country in the world with Uranium should or could be barred from enrichment of low grade uranium for peaceful use. It is like telling Saudi or Norway - Ok, you have oil but you are NOT allowed to refine it. Now, how mutual trust is built will depend on what the USA and Israel (particularly Israel) has to offer Iran (and Israel has a lot to offer Iran - more than it has to offer the Arabs).
