1. Europe and specially USA
Mauricio ,   Brazil   (12.27.05)
I really do not understand why Israeli leaders are repeating ongoing that this is a problem of the world. They want to put their head in the ground??? Iran will only target Israel in case of nuclear war / no risk for Europe and specially USA So this is bullish..
2. To #1
(12.27.05)
The missiles will be capable of carrying nuclear warheads and will be able to reach every capital in Europe. You don't think the people of Europe should be worried? Very naive.
3. To #2 - capeable
Mauricio ,   Brazil   (12.27.05)
Yes indeed. Capable they will be. But, no war state between any European country and Iran. No such wiping of the map declarations. They have de facto very good relationships. Or is Iran going to attack Brazil as well just for the fun of it???
4. A response to Mauricio
Kate ,   London   (12.27.05)
Almost identical claims were made by people such as yourself in the 1930's: "It's only the Jews that Hitler is after. If we leave him alone, he'll leave us alone." Furthermore, your claims about Iran's good intentions towards Europe and the U.S. fly in the face of everything we know about the Iranian regime. I know it would suit your particular prejudices for Israel and Israel alone to be wiped out, but that's not the way things will work out. And no, Iran has no intention of attacking Brazil. No-one has any intention of attacking Brazil. Why would anyone want to attack such an unimportant nation?
5. You're right Mauricio
Michelle   (12.27.05)
You don't understand.
6. to #1
tito   (12.27.05)
What do you think about the invasion of USA in Irak? agree, disagree or dont care????
7. george in Chacago

george Im gonna hold u personally responsible I f I dont get my es published ....... George I might be wrong but..... there aint much time left
8. kate
richard hitchings ,   methil   (12.27.05)
Perhaps Iran wont put the co-ordinates of Methil into topal but this dont worry me too much.... what does worry me is that ur gonna be late fur the plane.....
9. About the invasion of USA in Irak?
Mauricio ,   Brazil   (12.27.05)
Now, you can see all this invasion was useless. With Saddam the country was quiet and under control. Now that the real action against Iran is required, the USA are exhausted and have no stomach for action in Iran. There were no WMD in Iraq, it was all lies. The real WMD are in Iran and what is now that USA shall do???
10. Israel's appeasments lead to war mot peace
Marcel ,   Florida   (12.27.05)
Israel has gone in the wrong direction for peace,having failed to learn the lessson's of history. Never by capitulating to the demans of the Plaestininas will Israel find any semblance of peace. Thos who push this failed policy in reality lead Israel into war. I look at a weAk and neutered Israel always caving into everyones demands and I see a nation ripe for puunder. What do Israle's enemies see ?
11. Nuclear bombs are weapons of deterrence!
Abdullah ,   Kuwait City   (12.27.05)
If Israel is right about Iran wanting to produce it then I say tough being Israel, you will no longer hold the exclusivity in the region any longer, you had so many years in the past to rid your self of such evil weapons but you choose not to and by doing so, you encouraged all nations in the region to pursue such weapons! At with another nuclear capable nation in the region, Israel can milk its own nukes because they would be of no use unless they are used to a kamikaze operation were Israel is wiped out and therefore want everyone else gone too, which I highly doubt will ever happen! Shalom
12. Iranian threat
morton ,   dubai   (12.27.05)
To all you gus concerned: I feelthat you folks are really parnoid, excuse me for saying this,two things ,either you are in defense or releated industeries or parnoid. as an iranian - we have every right to defend our country- I do not think ,just because we are going to have the bomb,we are going to use against some country. we are not stupid,we simply want to survive.thats all, is that too much to ask my jewish friends, no pun is intended!!. the problem with you guys is that you want to have access to the atomic technology only, fortunately,that is no longer a realty. enough of that, you guys should think about the action of iranian leaders, they have not even hurt a jewish soul in iran, considering the fact we have over 30000 jews happly living in iran with their represantative and ninteen synogoges. as a matter of fact we have the largest no of jews outside of Isreal.and we are very happy honored to have them as our citizens volia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13. jewish logic
Wise Man ,   USA   (12.27.05)
It is ok for Isreal to own 400 nuc. bombs. But it is not ok for any one esle specially muslim to own one nuc.bomb. no wounder you been hated throu out the history of man kind.
14. Israel
Bobac ,   Alameda USA   (12.27.05)
I am American/Iranian If I was the Mr P... I will do the same He is doing ,. To tell the truth I would not wait , till bunch of Six pointers Target me,,,,. Look at history , always under some nation perhaps we should call them pest of middle east...
15. #13 Wise Man ???
Marsh ,   UK   (12.27.05)
Israel has never started a war. The Muslims have started many and have terrorists everywhere that will have access to Irans nuclear produce. Dont think we are naive 'Mr not so wise man' we can see your simple plot.
16. To #12, Iranian Jewish persecution
Eyes Wide Open ,   USA   (12.27.05)
Prior to the establishment of Israel, Iran had 100,000 Jews. In 1979, there were 80,000 Jews. Now there are around 10,000, and the synagogues are strictly controlled by the theocracy. The only reason why Iran can claim the largest Mideast Jewish population outside Israel is because Jews are not allowed to emigrate. If they were, there'd be a lot fewer Jews in Iran today. Your facts are incorrect. Try going here for some more information about the status of Jews in Arab and Muslim lands.
17. Plant Isreal
Wise Man ,   USA   (12.27.05)
Israel and its jew are living in a different planet. at this planet evry one is bad exept the jews. No one could own weapon expet the jews. At that strange planet they think they are so peacfull and human like. They never start a war, they never kill civilian and they never mascare platenians and they never ocupy some others land. In that planet jews are perfect and they know every thing.....
18. Re:#13
Warren ,   USA   (12.27.05)
Iran, as a signatory to the NPT, expressly committed itself to entirely confine all of its' many nuclear programs to civilian uses. A lot of people are saying Iran has the "right" to produce nuclear weapons, but if that is Iran's intention, Tehran has and is deliberately cheating from within the NPT regime. This would be entirely consistent with its' long record of concealment.. When the Iranian government decided to implement crash nuclear weapons program(s), it should have withdrawn its' (now proven worthless) signature from the NPT and not remained a signatory. Iran, then, would not have all of the the obligations under the NPT to the IAEA and world that it expressly undertook to accept. The regime in Iran demands all of the "rights" of being a member of an international treaty while balking at accepting any of the limits or obligations it has agreed to in writing. It looks like, in practice, wealthy regimes have much more "rights" but far fewer obligations than poorer ones.
19. Nukes are deterrent
Albert Hakim ,   U.S.A   (12.27.05)
No country has ever used nukes, except America against a civilian population. Nukes are only used as a deterent. If they act as such for Israel, they will undoubtedly achieve serve the same for IRAN. Iran will join nuclear club without any doubt. No one has the ball to use nukes anymore, the time is changed, except disgraced neocon America, the lone super power that can bully the world with impunity. No one else!! period.
20. Nuclear Iran
The Watcher ,   New Orleans, La.   (12.27.05)
Iran is liken to a family knowing a poisonous snake is in their back yard, yet allow their children to play there. It may take a while but it's a sure thing that someone is going to get bitten if the snake isn't killed. As with Iran, they are indeed the snake that is going to bite with the same venom that oozes from the mouth of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad everytime he opens it. There is absolutely no reason for this to continue when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made it clear of his inyentions. For the life of me I can't understand why Sharon or the United States is waiting so long to end the biggest danger to Israel's existence of modern times.
21. When will the world wake up
Joe ,   Kfar Aviv, Israel   (12.27.05)
Iran's Islamic Fundamentalism has one goal, and only one goal - World domination.
22. I agree with the 1st poster
Anthony ,   Australia   (12.28.05)
I think Israel can protect itself quite adequately from Iran and if it wants to wage war on Iran, then leave the rest of the world out. IMO The leader of Iran is all mouth. Also hasn't there been rumours of Israel having a few nukes of their own. So Israel or the US is in no position to preach the NPT
23. to#21 when will the world wake up?
Albert Hakim ,   U.S.A   (12.28.05)
You seem not to be well informed with your own good old Zionist expanshionist philosophy of Middle East domination.
24. Iran ( called Persia)
Mike Pierce ,   South Bend, USA   (12.28.05)
The Iranians are Satan's tool to destroy the Jews, and checkmate the Lord God Almighty in His plan to save all of Israel. The winner of this skirmish is not Iran or Satan. The Jews best get to know their God. He has delivered them more than once and will again.
25. ATT: Wise Man , USA (12.27.05)
DACON9 ,   OFFERING LOVE   (12.28.05)
YOU ARE A VERY VERY WISE MAN TO KNOW THAT THE JEWS ''never start a war, they never kill civilian and they never mascare platenians and they never ocupy some others land. In that planet jews are perfect and they know every thing..... '' THE NEXT ISRAEL INDEPENDANCE DAY PARADE IN NEW YORK CITY, I WILL RECOMMEND THAT YOU LEAD THE PARADE AND BE IN FRONT LEADING AND HOLDING THE ISRAEL FLAG.

26. Get used to it .. the Arabs have ...
Jeff ,   Australia   (12.28.05)
The Arabs are used to a Nuclear Israel for a long time. It about time the Israelis' grow up and get used to a Nuclear Iran. You had your chance to disarm for a nuclear-free Middle East .......
27. jeff...............and ..............kate
richard hitchings ,   methil   (12.28.05)
Jeff too right excellent kate hmmmmm ........ I ended up on the amber nectar last night...... and its all your fault I have a nasty hang over ths morn.......rr
28. Figuring out who is crazier?
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.28.05)
The Persians, or the Arabs? Israel has between 200-400 nuclear warheads. Sure no one will use them Albert Hakim! They won't shoot back at Iran if they believe the Iranian's are going to try to take out Israel. You keep dreaming. Iran is playing with a nuclear kick ball. Who know's where it might blow up first. I can gaurantee you one thing. They aren't just gonna stand by and bomb only Iran if Israel gets hit by a Nuke. You can kiss all your Arab buddies goodbye. Starting to figure out what we are dealing with Hakim? Your friends in Tehran have stated that they are going to wipe Israel off the map. So what should Israel think? Oh hell----their just talking a lot of $hit? Of course we thought Hitler was talking a load of $hit also. Tap---Tap---Tap---now you have Israel thinking. Maybe they have to consider taking out a program that can destroy their country. None of you dip $hits get it. The Germans almost wiped out the Jews. Don't threaten them, they take this crap seriously. Yeah they won't protect themselves!!! Cry Wolf enough times----BOOM----No more Iran! Iran's president is a friggen Idiot! He's going to get a bunch of innocent people killed making stupid threats!
29. Israel likes to include others
mikeX ,   midland,tx   (12.28.05)
If Israel wants to take on Iran,they should do it alone and quit trying to scare others in thinking that Iran has a problem with other countries.The only problem Iran has is Israel,my thought is let them fight it out and stop getting U.S troops killed just because Israel wants to go to war.
30. Nuclear Iran = No Mideast Peace
BeachBum ,   Israel   (12.29.05)
A nuclear Iran will promote extremism in the region. Therefore, all those who want to "solve" the "Arab-Israeli conflict" should be totally against Iran getting the bomb. Otherwise, it's just pure hypocracy.
