1. Nuclear Weapons in Lunatic Asylums
Zechariah   (11.24.13)
2. I like the article which separates the goat from the sheep!
Michael Redbourn ,   Tel Aviv - Israel   (11.24.13)
3. As usual, Ron is engaging in reading from coffee-sludge: pro
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.24.13)
and con? Really?! But now we're going to be bombarded with similiar, learned nonsense from various talking heads... some of us will even warmly nod in agreement. US has had a royal sex with us (to put it mildly)and we've hardly noticed anything. Now we're stuck with the pregnancy!
4. What is to stop Iran
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (11.24.13)
paying for the North Korean nuclear programme and having a weapon 'off the shelf' when required? A bit like Saudi Arabia funding the Pakistani nuclear programme with the agreement when necessary to provide nuclear warheads for their long march missiles. Saudi Arabia being where Osama Bin Laden hailed from, and where the funding originated for 9/11. To me a lot more dangerous problem than Iran having some enriched Uranium
5. Reject Zionism...
RJE ,   Adelaide, Australia   (11.24.13)
...accept democracy. Easy. The end of all of Israel's problems.
6. RJE Adelaide no 5
LION OF JUDAH ,   JUDAH THE LION   (11.24.13)
Israel is more than democratic Country.
7. for #5, Zionism is Jewish national patriotic movement
blog2038 ,   usa   (11.24.13)
to restore Jewish Homeland. What is wrong with that? How is is different from other peoples aspirations? Why do you want it to be abandoned?
8. Fate of inspection
Alan ,   Tel-Aviv Israel   (11.24.13)
I remember the black and white photo taken in a fancy French hotel of fat elderly men sitting around on big sofas wearing evening wear, smoking cigars and sipping cognac from snifters. Some of them have drifted off in slumber. The year is 1929 and the occasion is the 10th anniversary of the Allies inspection team mandated to verify post-war Germany's adherence to the terms of the Versailles Treaty. I just wonder how the West's inspection team will look in 6 months' time given Iran's ability to hide their compliance and prevaricate the facts of their bomb program.
9. #5 Reject antisemitism - become a human
(11.25.13)
10. It's an excellent and surprising agreement
Shachar ,   Eilat   (11.25.13)
True, nobody in this region keeps agreements but here the Iranians have boxed themselves into a corner. To renege on the agreement is to open themselves to attack and if they get caught cheating the price will also be high. Israel should be very pleased with the agreement and take their hats off to Kerry and Obama. Now we wait for the end-game....
11. really Not one word about the now cooling Plutonium given
By Russia to Iran ,   27 Bombs worth.   (11.25.13)
Israel is going to get burnt to the ground. But so is Iran and all of islam thinking they have won will flood Israel. Then God comes and fights. It's the end of the world as we know it. He who loses wins and he who thinks he wins loses all, even eternity. Like fish on a hook they come.
12. Pros drown with open hole in ship.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (11.26.13)

13. Good article.
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (11.26.13)
The article above is good and reasonable. As a permanent friend of your country, I think the refered agreement will stop Iranian ambitions on the scope of "A" bombs, endangering the Jewish State. But Israel must always be careful. Fanatical and dictatorial governments don't deserve full confidence.
14. nuclear deal
John Wilson ,   New Zealand   (11.29.13)
Its not only Iran, we need to worry about. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Matthew 24:4
