Ahmadinejad is the funniest clown in the show for now, but when he falls off his tight-rope, he'll realize that he shouldn't have removed the safety net.

Simply open your nuclear installation to tourists... It doesn't really change a thing, what about other unknown installation where they could build their bomb ?

Comment 2 is spot-on. Cut off cultural and touristic ties as well as economic ones, so that Iran recognises that the free world is, after years of fooling around, at last getting serious

Yea right, I calling my travel agent right now....

From 1953 to 1979. I hear it's even better now! Mind you even Lebanon was quite a popular destination. Sellafield (UK nuclear reactor) has been open to tourists for decades

***Who the hell would vacation in Iran?*** I, by the way, am frequently there on business, and always spend a few days more privately. A beautiful country, generous and friendly people and polite authorities (compared to this uniformed idiots in the US). Do You want to see some pictures of this poor, backward and underdeveloped country??? Go to http://conflictiran.blogspot.com/2006/04/inside-iran-city-life.html and see: IRAN PHOTO BLOGS and read the comments and broaden YOUR HORIZON!!!!

and free execution show on construction cranes.

Looks like a very beautiful country and no on edoubts the history and richness of the culture. The big question is: How can this country be led by such an extreme group of religious fanatics and how the hell did Ahmedinejad get to be the president??? Are people there scared to raise their moderate voices? How much control does the gov't have over the people? They control the television, the music, the dress etc. Stop me if I'm wrong.

WE ALL HAVE NOTHING AGAINST IRAN OR IRANIANS FOR THAT MATTER. IT IS INDEED A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY RICH IN CULTURE AND HISTORY. THE WORLD'S CONCERN IS WITH THE KHOUMEINI REGIME POST THE FALL OF THE SHAH WHO HAS BEEN AT 'verbal war" with america and israel since the beginning. POLITICAL MESSAGES COMING OUT OF THIS REGIME'S MOUTH ARE A VERY BIG CONCERN TO THE WHOLE MID EAST REGION, NOT ONLY TO THE USA. IT IS NOT A REASONABLE REGIME THAT DENIES THE HOLOCAUST AS A HISTORIC FACT AND CALLS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF A COUNTRY. YOU DON'T SEE THE USA OR ISRAEL CALLING FOR THE DCESTRUCTION OF ANY REGION AROUND THE WORLD, DO YOU? WE TAKE AHMADINEJAD'S WORDS SERIOUSLY, NO MATTER HOW BEAUTIFUL OR PROGRESSIVE HIS COUNTRY IS. TO LET SUCH A REGIME HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS TOGETHER WITH THEIR DESTRUCTIVE MESSAGE IS A POLITICAL AND NATIONAL SUICIDE! SOME LITTLE BOYS NEED TO BE CONTROLLED AND SUPERVISED LEST THEY THROW TANTRUMS AND DO THINGS ALL OF US WOULD REGRET AND SUFFER FROM. IF YOU WANT TO SEE DESTRUCTION AND A HUGE DUST CLOUD IN THIS CENTURY....GO AHEAD AND SUPPORT IRAN'S RIGHT TO NUCLEAR ARMAMENT. I CAUTION YOU, THOUGH......YOU MAY NOT LIVE LONG.
