1. The World should boycott their oil and let them drown in it.
RF ,   Israel   (06.04.06)
2. Blah blah blah
Caligula's Horse ,   Solomon's stables   (06.04.06)
Tough talk, but Iran's only export is oil, which it cant even refine on its own, if Iran stops exporting oil it will return to the stone age and people will go back to driving in chariots, anthropologists invited.
3. What Stoneage!
Arasch ,   Stockholm Sweden   (06.04.06)
You are speaking about that Iran will go back to stoneage, you should know that Iran is the 4:th biggest oil producer in the world and the price would be over 100 dollars a barrel again(first time was during the Iranian revolution)if something happen to that region. Last but most important is that Iran has a history of 2500 years of kingdom only, while Israel existed only for 50 years..
4. Khamenei diverts from serious internal problems
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.04.06)
The power struggle in the upper echelons of the Iranian political leadership is escalating in the run-up to the upcoming election for the Assembly of Experts, slated for October 2006. The two key figures at the center of the power struggle are Expediency Council Chairman Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah-e Yazdi. Ayatollah Mesbah-e Yazdi is the influential religious mentor of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and of most of the Iranian security apparatuses. http://www.memri.org/bin/opener_latest.cgi?ID=IA27806
5. It is a threat for War
Brod ,   USA   (06.04.06)
The fanatical Islamist-Jihadist terrorist state is threatening war.
6. ONLY 20 MORE YEARS OF OIL
DEBRA ,   USA   (06.04.06)
THE SCIENTISTS SAY THAT IRAN HAS ONLY 20 MORE YEARS WORTH OF OIL RESERVES. THEN, HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL SHUT UP, AND TRULY BE BACK IN THE STONE AGE.
7. To the victor, belong the sp(oils)
Russel ,   Tlv   (06.04.06)
Ever hear the term "Peak Oil?" Iran's oil deposits have "peaked " (already beyond the half-way mark and cannot be replenished). The rest of the world's oil suppliers are heading that way - it is only natural. The war on terror is acutally a global energy war. And it;s high time the West develop adn use alternative energy resources so we can rid ourselves from these blackmailing hate-mongers.
8. ;)
Ayatullah ,   Persia   (06.04.06)
Jews should remeber the time when they used to ride horses when Persia was at its peak.. Don't care if Iran goes back to stone age...you will be wiped out by then Peace :)
9. 8 Ayatullah: You sit most likely in Gaza - but anyhow
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.04.06)
you will be history - in fact in most people's minds YOU are history period - a goner - find a cave
10. 3 Arasch Wake up: Iran without export of oil is destroyed in
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.04.06)
their economy they need us more than we do them There are already many substitutes which are commonly used - Ethenol Brazil runs it entire cars on that. Switzerland has also some - plus natural gas used in cars. America uses only 25% of Middle East oil - it's major supplier is Canada Arash you fail on all marks
11. Who cares about their oil
Yitzi ,   Jerusalem   (06.04.06)
We should go into a crash alternative enegry program equivalent to the US effort to develop the first Atom bombs. Current technology if agressively developed for application would yield wind, solar, and hydrogen engery supplies that are sufficent and cost less than current oil prices........ Then use our netruon bomb nukes to wipe out the centers of goverment and military of syria and Iran to solve the security problems.
12. INTERNAL PROBLEMS
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON UK   (06.04.06)
Gabrielle................dont worry about the internal matters in Iran.There is an overwhelming support of the entire nation towards Nuclear policy.Don't distract yourself from the point.If USA creates mischief in the region,the retaliation is going to be very costly,Gabrielle.
13. 12 MAHMOOD: What makes you believe we care what YOU care
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.04.06)
about. The internal problems of Iran are there - that's why Iran plays on the foreign policy issues to divert Iranian Public attention - and if you don't believe same - then you are short in your capabilities of straight thinking
14. Domestic oil company profit up
Steve ,   USA   (06.04.06)
B"H ... way up if the Iran supply is cut off. One way to increase profit is to limit supply, and one way to limit supply is if there is a struggle in the area that would cut the supply. That is to say that there are domestic oil interest that would profit handsomely if the Middle East oil were cut off. Not everyone would necessarily lose under such a scenario.
15. Arasch and Ayatullah.
Uziel   (06.04.06)
#3-Arasch, it seems that you are Swedish, let me quote a jewish by the name Benjamin Disraeli who came under the same kind of criticism from another ignorant, haughty and falsely self-righteos european like yourself: "It is true that I am a Jew, and when my ancestors were receiving their Ten Commandments from the immediate Deity, amidst the thundering and lightnings of Mt. Sinai, the ancestotrs of my opponent were herding swine in the forests of Great Britain" Just change the location and you will see yourself in the mirror... #8- Ayatullah, at the time you mention, the Persians were riding horses too...The difference is that nowadays you keep riding horses and camels while the jews put satellites in orbit and the sole reason for not having a manned spaceship are the budgetary constraints. By the way, you are threatening with wiping Israel off the map without having nuclear weapons...but others who have nuclear weapons can decide that it is better not to see Iran (at all) with nuclear weapons...You are playing with fire, and you will burn...or burn...
16. Solution
(06.04.06)
1. Bomb Iran - forget appeasement, they are going to develop the bomb anyway, so lets cut to the chase before anyone gets hurts 2. Put LOTS of money into renewable energy sources, with oil the way it is, its just as costly. 3. Economically isolate these fools and let them sort themselves out. Forget this outreach to the world crap. Most scientific advancement came from the West and more specifically Jewish scientists. You Muslims can whine how you were so advanced back in the day but name one thing that you invented TODAY that has made a difference? Nothing. Everything you have comes from us. Sucks doesnt it?

18. Iran
dijkstra ,   bolsward nl   (06.04.06)
Ahmadinejad calls Bush and tells him: "President Bush, I called because I had a dream." Bush: "What was the dream about, Ahmadinejad?" Ahmadinejad: "I dreamt that USA was rebuilt and on the top of each house there was a flag." Bush: "And what was written on the flag?" Ahmadinejad: "Allah is big, Allah is great!!!" Bush: "You know what Ahmadinejad, it's good that you called because I had a dream too. In my dream Teheran was rebuilt and on the top of each Building there was a flag too." Ahmadinejad: "what was written on the flags?" Bush: "I don't know, I can't read Hebrew!!!!"
19. more threats from mahmood
???   (06.05.06)
It is Iran that should be worried!
20. The fundamental failure of US policy
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (06.05.06)
The US did not plan or act properly in its Middle East policy. It should have understood that it had to secure oil resources. The fact that any Iranian threat can rise the already skyrocketed price of oil, and force consumers to pay more for energy is a first indication of this failure. This failure is too connected with not seeing that Iran now is a far greater threat than Iraq ever was.
21. ANSWER TO NUMBER 13
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (06.05.06)
Gabriel.........you are most welcome to think contrary to what I am thinking and by the Grace of God, I am very sane and alert.All I have noticed is your emotions work more profoundly than your brain.Internal problems?? Yes, there are internal problems in ALL countries.What about the country YOU are living in? Are the all SAINTS?Even then, watch the sequence of events to follow and you will automatically have to agree with me.Have a nice day.
22. WORRIED IRAN?? #19
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (06.05.06)

23. 21 MAHMOOD: Your brain is where?
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.05.06)

25. GABRIELLE #23 #24
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (06.05.06)

26. HELLO...GABRIELLE..........
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (06.05.06)
I am sure you must have read it already.Some more from USA.They will release these incentives gradually, worrying people like you!
27. Hypocrites and criminals
Steve ,   Perth , Australia   (06.07.06)
The USA is the most belligerant greedy nation on Earth. A threat to world peace and the USA is now engaged in War Crimes since the illegal invasion of Iraq. The USA has murdered Iranians in the act of terror which saw them shoot down an Iranian airliner killing 290 civilians. Iran has never atatcked anyone in living memory, and nothing except groundless accusations against them is all you hubris filled fools have. Israel is a rogue terrorist nation, it has developed Nuclear power outside the same treaties which Iran has followed to the letter. Israel is engaged in crimes against humanity. If either or both of the two most misanthropic nations on the planet were to drop off the planet we could all begin to live in peace. Before any of you fools start babbling your lies try and compare the number of International crimes the USA and Israel are responsible for, and compare that with the Iranians who are simply a devout and courageous people. You won't be fighting just Iran, WHEN you next launch your belligerance. You will have taken on the world. Don't be fooled by our fake leaders. They don't enjoy the support of their people anymore., since they sold out to the brutal junta ruling the USA. Israel and the USA should be wiped off the map. For all our sakes.
