1. Someone let Obama know
sarahbradlee ,   Massachusetts, US   (11.02.13)
Since Obama is always out of the loop on news events, crises, and other situations which are critical, I am hoping someone in the administration will please let Obama know that Iran is still the enemy of western civilization and all civilized people everywhere.
2. Death to America
Don ,   Charleston, SC USA   (11.02.13)
We don't have to worry about IRAN, the democrats will do it much quicker.
3. Death To America
Kelley ,   Panama City   (11.02.13)
Meanwhile, US Navy Seals are being forced to remove their "DON'T TREAD ON ME," patches. Maybe the negotiations will end in a compromise. The new chant will be "Wound America."
4. Death to America by Iranians
Chris ,   USA   (11.02.13)
USA's response, "Go ahead make my day!" The storming of the American Embassy was an act of war. Had we responded to as such, they would not be chanting this today. Eventually Iran will suffer a self-inflicted catastrophe if they keep spewing violent verbal cannon balls at the USA.
5. Revolutionary Guard
KentD ,   Denver Colorado USA   (11.02.13)
The Revolutionary Guard is a paper tiger.
6. Death to America
David Hedricks ,   Asheville, USA   (11.02.13)
Every country in the Muslim world is dedicated to the 'death of America' because traditionally America has stood for Christianity. Are we going to use military force against them all? This whole premise is twisted.
7. You'r five years too late
Mark Harris ,   South Jordan UT   (11.02.13)
Barack Obama and the Democrats beat you too it.
8. #4
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (11.02.13)
It was an act of war. But I don't their spewing of verbal volleys will result in much of anything. We let everybody push us around now. No one takes Obama seriously. Sad. Maybe we've done some things historically that were a mistake but we've done more good than not. Watching the news is truly depressing. Last night I heard on the news that perhaps we as Americans have lost faith in democracy after watching the spectacle of Congress and the president. And the odd thing is that the country has faced worse times and equally conflictual congressional rancor. I think part of it is the fault of the people: lack of knowledge of democratic principles and a sense of entitlement. That my hard work should pay for your flat screen TV. Sorry- I rambled.
9. Chant
Christy ,   Boston, US   (11.02.13)
Being hated by a country that treats its own people the way Iran does is something I won't lose any sleep over. I'd be more concerned if such a country liked us.
10. This is a paper tiger!
MARK ,   Boston USA   (11.02.13)
The administration opposes sanctions against Iran!
11. Yawn
Mahmoud ,   Austin, TX   (11.02.13)
These comments are laughably ignorant. I guarantee that if you were in Iran the tables would be perfectly turned and you'd have the opposite point of view. If any other country tried to enact sanctions against the USA we would regard it as economic warfare and respond militarily. We've been engaged in war with Iran since the 60s. We are the ones that imposed the Shah. We have forced them to live in a never-ending depression since the 70s. Is it really any wonder they are maybe a little irritated with us?
12. Hyperbole
Neil ,   Champlain USA   (11.02.13)
Twisted it is. The whole country of Iran doesn't feel this way just as not everyone in the U.S. backs what the CIA is doing in their name. This is more hyperbole by the media (and whoever) to try and garner more support for attacking Iran. Israel HAS nukes. Why would they be afraid of Iran?
13. #12 You are 100% correct
MARK ,   Boston USA   (11.03.13)
It seems that the US and Iran want to have diplomatic relations. We all know that Iran and Washington have been talking to each other for years-behind the scenes!
14. Death to America
howard_feinski ,   Wyoming USA   (11.03.13)
I know IRAN wants death to America, but their president is really nice.
15. What's New?
Jimmy Stewart ,   Los Angeles, U.S.   (11.03.13)
What's new? Iran hates America. Who cares. Live life and ignore the fools.
16. death to or of
Mark ,   Tampa usa   (11.03.13)
Thanks Iran but we seem to be doing a very good job of it ourselves
17. Iran's Revolutionary Guards
Tonus One ,   Los Angeles USA   (11.03.13)
So much for negotiating. As we suspected, it is a waste of time and resources. Basically, the smaller the bully, the more gaudy the patter. They will still run away if or when we get there just as Iraq's "warriors" did. Yawn.
18. Carefully choosen words
Dan ,   Parma,USA   (11.03.13)
It is getting absurd how the AP and other media outlets refer to the Radical Islamists as "conservative." They are 1 inch away from being AlQuida. Difference being, they have a state. Thats it. When you refer to them as "conservative," you are down playing what they are and at the same time insulting Americans that are conservative.
19. Death to America
HansJurgen ,   San Diego, USA   (11.03.13)
Iran, forget it since Obummer has already done in America.
20. Threats of War
DocLemm ,   O.S., USA   (11.03.13)
Thanks to the Mid-East tensions, the defense industry is going strong. Millions of jobs depend on you. Keep up the idle threats and killing! And a special thanks to all the applicable Gods that hate each other enough to have the humans involved in never ending war.
21. negotiations..ha ha ha
Moshe ,   US   (11.03.13)
We've been here before and done that..with Clinton, who was so concerned with his cigar and Monica that he allowed N Korea to go nuclear. This is the page from that playbook that Iran is using. And Obozo is either too stupid to recognize it, wants it to happen, or feels that he can live with a nuclear Iran.
22. #12 - your analogy is a strange one
William ,   Israel   (11.03.13)
It's like saying that police who have a gun to protect themselves shouldn't be concerned that thieves and violent offenders are arming themselves. Look at all of the people killed, oppressed, terrorized, and threatened by Iran who doesn't even have nukes yet....then look at Israel who, you claim has nukes, and despite being in difficult situations has never threatened to use it.
23. Iran Committed to Death to America
Tucker ,   USA   (11.03.13)
Big deal. So is Obama.
24. Death to America song
Pismopal ,   Los angeles. Usa   (11.03.13)
Funny...that is Obama's favorite tune also.
25. "Elite" Republican Guards?
Jere Joiner ,   Colorado Springs USA   (11.03.13)
I am weary of the media calling Republican Guards elite. They called Saddam Hussein's troops elite too and our GIs squashed 'em like ants -- those that didn't run away, that is. Note to media: if marching and yelling makes troops elite, call 'em whatever you want. I will take American troops any time. I guess it's too much to expect the media to call American troops elite.
26. DEATH TO AMERICA ARTICLE
Nancy J. Murphy ,   Elkton MD USA   (11.03.13)
Why bother? President Obama is doing it already. Iran could save time and money by just sitting back and relaxing.
27. Laughing at Iran
AZWarrior ,   Phoenix USA   (11.03.13)
"Death to America"? I am laughing myself to tears. Has these idiots ever even been to the United States, seen a map, or read about it? I doubt it. America is huge and rich beyond a Sheik 's wildest dream. We are diverse and we are strong enough to tolerate piss-ants like Iran. We drove the Soviet Union into bankruptcy just for fun. The only reason Iran isn't a hot, glass covered parking lot today is because we know it is no threat to us. So go ahead all you Persian inbreds, call us names all you want. It will give us a good laugh.
28. What liberals want
Kenny James ,   Tyler USA   (11.03.13)
This is the leadership that the liberals and parogressives want in the Whitehouse. The Pink Ladies and other groups would be marching on Washington and protesting the President during speeches. It is obvious that they really don't care about the issues they brought up during the Bush Administration. What they do care about is bringing down the constitution since it stop stheir agenda.
29. Obama is a traitor
dougjmiller ,   Detroit, USA   (11.03.13)
Obama and his cronies are bending over backwards to appease the radical Islamic dictatorship in Iran. He needs to be impeached before the Ayatollahs incinerate our great nation.
30. Direct result of Peanut Farmer Carter overthrew the Shah!
Son of Cyrus ,   UK   (11.03.13)
