8. NNPT allows it
jack ,   USA   (08.23.06)
the NNPT allows signatory countries to enrich uranium. ITS ALLOWED. Iran is a signatory state to the NNPT, Israel isnt.Israel is NOT allowed to enrich uranium and also refuses IAEA inspections. Iran allows inspections as per international treaty and laws. Israel is making nuclear bombs. Iran isnt. Question. Who is the bad guys again?
9. Ending the games
Jeff ,   Three Rivers,U.S.A.   (08.23.06)
Even if there is treaty upon treaty over the program,the 1st time the fuel rods are due to be changed Iran will seize the rods,and expell any inspectors from the country. Dont worry about Seria,they will fall right in line after Iran is leveled like Lebanon times ten.The U.N. will say shame on you,and then in a couple years theyll get over it like Iraqs reactor.Hell,theyll praise it in ten when there is not a Iran inspired Nuclear wastland covering the middle east ..Do it now before Bush leaves office,so you get that extra special support, and carpet bomb non stop.after 6 months they will want you to stop a year and they will love you to stop,2 years they will be in total submission.add another 6 months for good measure.All this and no boots on the ground.Im a peace loving guy but Ill pay 4 dollars a gallon for gas before I want to see a nuke armed president Alphabetshisname.
10. nuke activity and #2
Jeff ,   Three rivers,U.S.A   (08.23.06)
I agree with Greg,It was funny for a while,now lets level all the sites.And in a big display of Government spurging,drop not one but 20 bunkerbusters on each site.Then a big healthy dose of Napalm. And on a lite side of things the president of Iran is really mad cause even with 2 cans of alphabet soup,he couldnt spell his name.
11. IRAQ NUCLEAR POWER
DAMON LINNELL ,   UNITED STATES   (08.23.06)
WHAT IF? IRAQ ALREADY HAS ALL THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS IT NEEDS,THANKS TO THE RUSSIANS, AND CALLS EVERYBODIES BLUFF ON AUGUST 31 WITH THEIR SECOND ANSWER TO THE U.N. "INSECURITY" COUNCIL AND THEY NUKE JERUSALEM JUST TO MAKE A POINT THAT IRAQ IS A SOVREIGN COUNTRY JUST LIKE ISRAEL, THE UNITED STATES,GREAT BRITAIN,ETC. WHY SHOULD THEY BOW DOWN AND CONTINUE BEING A SO CALLED "THIRD WORLD" COUNTRY JUST BECAUSE WE ARE SCARED OF A CRAZY MAN? WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO BLOW ANY NUCLEAR MISSLE, FIRED OFF THE GROUND OR SEA, OUT OF THE AIR FROM SPACE WITH HIGH POWERED LASERS. LET THEM BUILD ALL THE NUCLEAR FACILITIES THEY WANT. IF WE HAD NOT MADE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT IRAQ WOULD HAVE BUILT IT ALL ABOVE GROUND, NOW THEY PUT ALL OF IT UNDER GROUND! HOW SMART ARE WE NOW!????
12. 3 Sure I*ll sit down with the clown from Iran.
freedom ,   canada   (08.23.06)
Let him negotiate with me.. lol... he has no more stature than me... lol.. look imposing sanctions is like cutting the oil, more than 80 percent of the countrys revenues come from oil.. lol.. advisor... get a grip.. what is the west going to embargo, dates and fruits.. lol.. and the threat of cutting oil, is like the threat of the iranian clown cutting his own throat.. no oil revenue, no money for terror.... life is a bee eh...lol... bomb the clown if they dont stop enrichment, then let them rebuild... and so sayeth a wise man...
13. 8. Jack, the bad guy is the one funding the terror...
freedom ,   canada   (08.23.06)
Hizbullah,,, uh rembeber the dual suicide bombings in beirut in 1983.. Uh, Iran is, ever hear of an israeli suicide bombing... uh no... now relax, take it easy,, must be a surprise for you....
14. #8 JACK - ISRAEL DOESNT THREATEN TO "WIPE IRAN OFF MAP"
Scott   (08.23.06)
This where your idea is completely wrong. Israel doesnt go around spruiking that it wants to DESTROY anybody - let alone Iran. Iran's leaders are constantly threatening Israel - YOU KNOW THAT. But in reply - ever heard an Israeli PM repeat the same kind of threat? NO - YOU HAVENT!
15. Make All MidEast a Nuke Free Zone
Bob ,   NYC, USA   (08.23.06)
When will Israel start giving up THEIR nuclear weapons? rtsp://www.battl.nl/Docs/isra-vanunu-200204.rm
16. BOMB THEM, bomb them, BOMB THEM!
It's a no-brainer ,   NYC, USA   (08.23.06)
Stop letting them buy time, bomb them before their plants are "hot" and which would cause disaster.
17. Stop being fooled by the "little monkey" Ahmadidanadinadjadi
Sechel ,   ny, usa   (08.23.06)
Nuclear energy for "peaceful purposes"! FUNNY! He keep's on saying on the one hand to wipe israel off the map, and on the other hand that he is entitled to make nuclear weapons,,,now how stupid is this world? cant you connect the two, very simply he wants israel annhialated -period. Kill him before he comes to kill you-- BOMB HIM-BOMB THEM-BOMB IT-- NOW NOW NOW!!!!!!!
18. Can we start bombing now?
RA   (08.23.06)
19. #7 - I disagree. Iran will use them 100%
RA   (08.23.06)
20. #9 Well said, I completely agree.
RA   (08.23.06)
There is only one option. Bomb Iran into submission.
21. Iran will not suspend nuclear activity
Johnson ,   USA   (08.23.06)
All those who believe Iran will cooperate. Please raise your hand.
22. It's time for an Air, Land, and Sea Embargo! (END)
Robert Gray ,   Los Angeles, US   (08.23.06)
23. #8 - a foolish consistency...
Charles ,   USA   (08.23.06)
...is the hobgoblin of little minds. Sure, a country that's sitting on colossal reserves of oil needs enriched uranium for "peaceful purposes"...just like Timothy McVeigh needed 5,000 pounds of fertilizer so he could start a farm. Mindlessly pretending that Iran has any respect for Utopian documents like the NNPT and UN resolutions is the road to Neville Chamberlain's brand of "peace in our time" - the kind that doesn't last, and leads to a much bigger war later. The important difference between Iran and Israel isn't reflected in the NNPT, which Israel is at least honest enough not to sign: it's that Iran sponsors and exports terrorism, arms Hezbollah, sends mercenaries to Iraq, funds dictatorship in Syria, denies the Holocaust, oppresses its people, violates human rights, hates democarcy and freedom, and insists on the eradication of Israel; while Israel - the sole functioning democracy in the Middle East - struggles to survive on a small patch of land, completely surrounded by mortal enemies, and takes military action only in self defense. Jeff (#9) is right: Iran will respond only to force. But it doesn't need to be carpet bombing. Instead, start systematically taking out the source of wealth that provides 21st century financing to the megalomaniac oligarchs of this otherwise medieval country: productive oil fields, refineries, pipelines, ports, depots. Pause periodically to ask A-jad whether he's ready to start talking seriously. If not, keep going. When the billions in oil revenue start to dry up, the Islamofacists might feel a bit less enthusiastic about doing nuclear research and smuggling missiles to Lebanon. Here in the Rocky Mountains, it's "legal" for snow to pile up on the high slopes in the winter, and the sense of peace, purity, and stillness it brings can be quite beguiling. But it's best to blast it loose before it gets deep enough to produce an avalanche that will bury your house.
24. Iran nukes
Janet Philips ,   Medford, OR USA   (08.23.06)
Even if Iran did want nukes, who are we to say they can't? Brazil is doing the same thing, but not a negative word is heard. Let Israel give up it's nukes first.
25. Funny moneky man.
Mike ,   Israel   (08.23.06)
You refuse, how nice then prepare to lose it. And then cry how your civilians are getting massacerd. Your a moneky man with a brain of an ant.
26. To the smart redneck from the states #8
Mike ,   Israel   (08.23.06)
When was the last time you heard Israel threating to wipe out a country clown? But rest assured redneck that Israel will do your countrys work and that is wipeing out Iran and its monkey man lickety split. This way your american boys dont get there hands bloody.
27. #7 ANDREW...YOU UNDERESTIMATE ISRAEL
KEITH ,   NY,USA   (08.23.06)
28. Gog And Persia
Michael ,   USA   (08.23.06)
Well, my fellow readers, if Israel attacks Iranian nuclear facilities, then you know that Russia as their nuclear engineer will be provoked and dragged into this upcoming Mideast war. Then old Persia will call for a Muslim coalition. Your ancient Jewish prophet -- Ezekiel is absolutely right on target. The God of Abraham is your Jehovah. Goodbye, Allah... Allah will be defeated and Jehovah will be victorious!
29. What Iran should do
jack ,   USA   (08.23.06)
Iran should withdraw from the NNPT, block iaea access to nuclear sights and enrich uranium and make bombs. Sounds good? If they did that they would be just like Israel
30. Sanctions should be imposed on Israel!
TheSniper ,   UK   (08.23.06)
Israel is the one to be sanctioned for all the atrocities they have committed....no more sympathy for Israel!
