31. Iranian Nukes
Ronnie Matthews ,   Blountville, USA   (12.20.06)
Ahmadinejad has nothing to worry about and he knows it. The UN is the world's biggest joke. Both he and his Ayatollah led regime are nothing but Hitler's offspring. There is more than enough proof of that. But no one will listen, just like no one listened to Winstopn Churchil. If anyone does anything to stop him it will be the U.S. and Britain.
32. UN Action?
Kurt H ,   Richmond Va   (12.20.06)
Please give me ANY evidence that UN Action has EVER produced the desired results, if it has produced any result at all. The UN is toothless, meaningless, and merely a platform for those opposed to the West and Israel.
33. two good books to read
Scooter Tooter ,   Boston   (12.20.06)
Read _ The coming crisis with Iran by "Timmerman" Also - read Wild Fire - by Nelson Demille.
34. re: What should be done?
Mark Buehner ,   Chicago, USA   (12.20.06)
Oh, sure, its just israel's regime that will be destroyed. Its democratic regime. And what will it be replaced by? Obviously not another Jewish majority government. So Tom, how is placing Israel under the rule of Arabs who have pretty successully ethnicaly cleansed the rest of the Middle East anything but a recipe for genocide?
35. To Tom in Canada
Jim ,   Chicago USA   (12.20.06)
If you want to rewrite history and blame the "Israeli Translation" services then you are an idiot and apparently want to see and hear only what fits into your world views...open your eyes and try to listen and see without your own bias' blinding you to the truth. Where do you get this stuff??
36. nukes
S. Clause ,   USA   (12.20.06)
You'll shoot your eye out.
37. Nut Job
WelshBard ,   Durham, NC, USA   (12.20.06)
Saddam once portrayed himself/country as a Bio/Chemical, wanna be Nukeboy. When he had very little or none he still puffed out his chest because he loved the power he could wield w/it. Well, in the end, he was treated as such. This guy is going down the same road and will get the same fate as he is more believable because he's being protected by the Russians ans Chicoms...sadly, he is going to take millions with him.
38. Crazy leadership
Sam ,   Canada   (12.20.06)
Iran is ran by a bunch of nuts. I hate to admit it but the only way to ensure world safety is to over through the Iranian government. The world has to be united on this.
39. Did nothing wrong
Bob ,   Ohio, USA   (12.20.06)
Miltary build up? International pressue? What the hell has Iran done wrong? They have EVERY right to build nuclear power plants. It's not against international law and they are GIVEN the right from the non-prolif treaty. Would the United states or ANY other country run thier country different because someone else wants you too?? skrew that.
40. When will it be enough?
Derek ,   Connecticut, USA   (12.20.06)
I hate to sound like one of those evil, war mongering Americans with a spine, but lets take this guy down before he actually gets so full of himself that he does something to ignite conflict. Crushing this loudmouth would be a swift and efficient way of silencing muslim radicals. Iran could easily be a functioning Democracy due to their large number of moderates. Uniting a Democratic Iran with Iraq to its west and Afghanistan to its east would provide a nice corridor of stability in the region. There is
41. Do to Iran what we did to Japan in WWII
Michael Smith ,   Atlanta, USA   (12.20.06)
The proper response to any regime that threatens "Death to "America" is to do to them exactly what we did to Japan in WWII. Declare war, demand unconditional surrender, then apply overwhelming force until they give in or are exterminated -- their choice.
42. Iran
Doug ,   Milwaukee USA   (12.20.06)
The democrats should be happy now.
43. Iran nukes
Doug ,   Milwaukee USA   (12.20.06)
Since the democrats neutered Bush all throughout Iraq after voting for the war, they can celebrated their filleting of the eagle. Divided we fall. What a shame. Thanks liberals.
44. Islamabomb
dan ,   Kent, Wa, USSA   (12.20.06)
Does anybody read history books anymore?
45. World War II (version 2.0 release)
Dan ,   Houston, Texas USA   (12.20.06)
Hitler has returned. Let us not be fooled this time. It is now time to return him back to hell.
46. It's only a matter of time now...
Adam ,   Philadelphia USA   (12.20.06)
Israel will help Ahmadinejad to become a martyr.
47. He can say what he wants now
William Bedloe ,   Washington DC USA   (12.20.06)
He knows US is paralyzed by media and libs whining and complaining, and conservatives bowing to this pressure. He can say what he wants now...The big players in the region, Russia and China, won't let him DO anything, and US won't do anything with them in the background. If he does do something, he's toast. Until US is allowed to use its muscle and not simply flex, US will remain a paper tiger. Time to clean up our own shop so rogue nations REALLY start to truly fear the US...as they should
48. You'll shoot your eye out.
S. Clause ,   North Pole USA   (12.20.06)
49. ronvon@mac.com
Ron Vaughan ,   United States   (12.20.06)
It is beyond me how any rational human being could come up with such an absurd view as Tom, our friend (?) from Canada.
50. Definitely "LMS" - Little Man Syndrome
Jason ,   Fort Worth - USA   (12.20.06)
All of this smacks of little man syndrome. Its the same thing with Hugo Chavez.
51. We are all in deep shite
Bobby ,   NYC   (12.20.06)
The world is in deep shite if Iran does get its hands on a nuclear weapon. Take them out now
52. You must understand...
Stuart ,   USA   (12.20.06)
Part of his religious belief says that his "messiah" will return only when chaos runs rampant. Nuclear war to him is a sure-fire way to usher in the final worldwide rule by his religion. There is no cost too great for him to not try to do this.
53. He Doesn't Care
Darryl Martin ,   Houston, USA   (12.20.06)
When your religion teaches of a 12th Imam that comes from the well when the final war is started, you don't tend to care about other opinions. If you believe Saddam was no threat to the world either, you are truly ignorant. The Jews are stuck. They are in a corner on preemptive action. Striking back will be in vain, as Tel Aviv will be smoldering.
54. re:paper tiger
al ,   los angeles, ca   (12.20.06)
yeah and the iraqi resistance was supposed to be a paper tiger as well.
55. Oh noes!!
James ,   USA   (12.20.06)
Hey we can get the UN to do something to help alleviate this situation! I think they are the right organization to get things done. Remember when Sadam was a huge threat and the culmination of the UN actions led to a very corrupt oil for food scam which made Sadam rich? It’s because of this Ahmadinejad acknowledges UN resolutions meaningless and pays no attention to them. The UN will come to the rescue! Iran is ****ed if they try anything against Israel. Google “the samson option” Ahmadinejad, there is still a chance to wise up.
56. Iran
Mike ,   New York USA   (12.20.06)
I'm reading posts I agree with. I'm reading posts I disagree with. I like both. I hate the right wing posts that regurgitate Rush Limbaugh and the liberals who parrot lefty propeganda. We've heard the propeganda from both sides. No need to cut and paste instead of thinking, k?
57. USA NO LONGER A SUPER POWER
JOE ,   atlanta   (12.20.06)
I wish our country had the stomach for such actions. Our world and country has changed. We do not have the will to do what is nessessary to win this war or to stop a crazy regime. We could end the war in Irag in 48 hours if we really had the balls to do what needed to be done: Destroy Bagdad and kill hundreds of thousands of people. Women and children would be unfairly be included. The death and destruction would bring these crazies to their knees. Again, we just do not have the stomach for such actions. We will sit back and watch Iran do the same....I pity the USA we are weak and have to many softies
58. Thanks for a reality check
(12.20.06)
What a great observation, and thanks for setting things straight.
59. end xenophobia
(12.20.06)
You have to remember that Bush & Company have labeled Iran and Korea as the Axis of Evil, and has already invaded Iraq. Israel has 400 nuclear bombs. The lesson Bush has taught any reasonable country is that if they don't develop a deterrant, theyr'e at risk for another Iraq. The US is the only country that used the bomb; there's good reason for the world to fear the US, especially with Bush et al in the White House. These developments certainly are frightening, but there's no reason to join the paranoia. It was exactly that kind of fear that Bush exploited to scare the country into invading Iraq--supposedly to end nuclear weapons. These crises have been self-created by Washington. We cannot allow the war criminals we never elected to destroy innocent lives, like our brave soldiers and the citizens of Iraq, for another lie. Thanks for your thoughts, but I wanted to say we're being tricked again. There are far better ways to end the spread of nuclear weapons--however, the US has refused to reduce its stockpile. What's the rest of the planet to do?
60. Hes getting his coutry distroyed
