91. See Whackjob do his Slim Pickens inpersonation
Vernon Nash ,   Malibu, CA   (12.20.06)
Next we'll probably see Whackjob at a press conference sitting astride a nuclear bomb. Something about that weird ass culture that makes them incapable of take a photo without a weapon in their hand. Bigger the weapon smaller the penis.
92. Tom's comments
Dave ,   Cleveland   (12.20.06)
So Isreal shouldn't be concerned, just because Iran is threatening, by nuclear weapon, a "regime" change in a democratically elected Isreali government?
93. I can't beleive
Another Jerry ,   Lubbock Texas USA   (12.20.06)
The check is in the mail. I my girlfriend can't taste salty things. And Islam is a peaceful religion. When as the last time the Vatican said it wanted to pursue peaceful nuclear power? Peaceful Nuclear power doesn't exist. In the US, we use our own nuclear plants for war.
94. Iran's Pres. does have a deathwish.
C. Hazen ,   Herndon, VA-USA   (12.20.06)
By announcing to the world his accomplishment of obtaining nuclear power - he is forcing us to take a stand, which he is well aware of. He is trying to accelerate the second coming of his "god" by his efforts and words to eliiminate Israel, which the U.S. will not stand for. Who helped him obtain the nuclear weapons? Do these monsters believe in WWIII? That is what they will be starting......I take them at their word...what they are going to do, and those that do not are living in a different galaxy.
95. I'm encouraged to see
Jay ,   Chicago   (12.20.06)
that many of the responses understand what this madman is about, and that he TRULY believes that if he can create a nuclear holocaust, then the 12th Imam (I believe that's what is called) will return to earth and rule over all of it - oh, by the way, he would rule with Islam as the ONLY religion and code. For you people who are still busting on Bush because of the Iraq war, you have been grabbed by the nose by the Media and the Liberals who want you to believe that ALL is bad with that war, and that the US is losing. The US did what needed to be done in Iraq, and if the rest of the world would get off of their collective liberal, whiny ignorant a$$es and help out (instead of sitting back and taking the easy road and bashing the US), then Iraq would be in much better shape today.....
96. Iran Nukes
Dave ,   Loogootee, IN, USA   (12.20.06)
Well the Democrats in this coountry should be happy now. Still want to sit down and have cookies and milk with this nutcase.
97. To Joe in Atlanta
JR ,   Des Moines   (12.20.06)
Please tell me how destroying Baghdad would win the war in Iraq. That is just ignorant. It's not friggin' Hiroshima. We're not fighting Iraq itself you moron. That would be the worst thing we could do.
98. to #11
con ,   btm, INA   (12.20.06)
the difference of iran and pakistan is their leader..at least, musharaf is not anti-west and obviously is sane.. ahmadinejad is different. he is insane.
99. But do they have electric razors?
Mr. Remington ,   U.S.A.   (12.20.06)
100. Case of small-man disease
Kyle ,   Portland, OR USA   (12.20.06)
What exactly does this short, ugly little 'man' want to prove? Does he want to match Iranian nuclear power against US, British, and Israeli nuke stockpiles? That's a good, quick way to meet Allah in Hell.
101.  wakey-wakey sleepy heads
bubba ,   omaha, usa   (12.20.06)
israel and u.s. need to wake up, now ! war, real war, is coming. israel needs to dump the silly leftys they put in charge. its time for a hard and serious man. bebe is my sugestion. he is a modernday churchhill.
102. to Joe in Chicago
John ,   Houston, US F'n A   (12.20.06)
Nukes deployed and detonated at street level will cuse little physical dammage but still have a strong radiological effect. The the buildings of the city will absorb most of the heat and shock and only allow gamma radiation to perfusse from the area of detonation. Now an arial nuke detonated 2-3 km above the city would be Catastropic. This would allow massive defussion of heat, shock, and radiation plus the atmospheric dispersion of radiation. Any attack would be considered catastrophic in my book, but destruction of an entire major metro city from a suit case nuke is not possible. Any casualtiy from terror is unexceptable!!!
103. First to use Nukes!
Carey ,   Dallas, Texas   (12.20.06)
I really wish that all of you who continue to bring up a historic fact that the USA used nukes first, would please remember that the USA changed on 9/11 for that matter the world changed for us all. It is clear that the destruction of the USA is the ultimate goal of these Islam-o-faciest. We not by our choice have been pulled into a mad cultures war, some of us are still kicking and screaming and in denial. Some of us are not kicking nor screaming, we are ready to fight the all who believe such lies and rederic. Oh you stupid stupid people. WWIII is at hand.
104. Who Cares About Another "Condemnation"?
David ,   Marietta USA   (12.20.06)
Israel has more condemnations under it's belt than any other country in the world. So what? International condemnation means absolutely nothing! Nothing! Nada! Zip! Nulla! Don't believe me? Ask Kim Jong Ill about the horrors of condemnation. Or Iran. Or Pakistan. Or Peking for that matter. Take out the nuke sites, while you can. Worry about the shocked, shocked world afterwards. I can't believe how Israel has allowed itself to become a nation of weaking, bed wetters.
105. WOW
SRP ,   Nevada, USA   (12.20.06)
One or two, well placed bombs from a stealth will destroy any nuclear power plant with little or no collateral damage. Who cares. Let them build it, we'll just destroy it. We don't have to invade. Anyway. He's a moron.
106. Translation problems - are u kidding?
Jerry ,   NJ, USA   (12.20.06)
Tom, you're out of your mind. Remember this statement: "I would lose half of Iran to wipe out Israel." Care to come up with some alternate translation for THAT?!?
107. YNET
TC ,   Haifa   (12.20.06)
"Iran is now a nuclear power": Sounds like a pretty important announcement but how come that CNN, Fox, Sky, Haaretz and BBC (to name just a few) are not even mentionning this fact? Where do you get your informations? Are you able to reveal your source? Beside attracting reader's attention, is there anything else?
108. To Ironcandle-Iran is Neclear
will ,   Orlando USA   (12.20.06)
What u say is true but I think u and others missed the point. The world is already at war with radical Islam. They don't care if they and all muslim nations are destroyed. They will start exploding neclear weapons as soon as they feel they have enough to start a worlwide holicost because that is what they believe will bring back their Savior, the Mahdi. History teaches a simple lesson, religion beats political systems every time. And religions that teach that assinations and terrorism are a proper means to a victory over seciuar government always become even worse than the enemies they hate and wind up destroying themselves. A wise man once said that those that refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This is no different with one important exception. This time God gets involved directly. There are over 1500 statements of prophesy in the Bible and not one has ever failed to come to pass on time. The Bible is crystal clear about what is to eventually happen so get used to it. There is no man-made road to peace in the middle east. Prepare yourselves.
109. It's About Time
Tom ,   USA   (12.20.06)
Don't you play poker? Never show your adversary your hand.
110. Best thing for the world
TCG ,   Washington DC, USA   (12.20.06)
Iran should start a Nuclear exchange. It would give the rest of the free thinking, freedom loving people of the world a reason to turn their country to glass.
111. war was won
DK ,   milwaukee usa   (12.20.06)
The Iraq war was won as was vietnam. The military exhausted the north in vietnam after the tet offensive but the media and stupid liberal public decided to walk away after winning. Now in Iraq the military crushed Sadam and put a democratic governmemnt....War Won! The domestic problems that persist should either be left up to Iraq alone (total pull out) Come back to kick ass agian and agian periodically until they get it right or we stay there for 1,000 years if need be to babysit the unrully muslims...Half a$$ing it is what gets us in trouble...I suggest taking Iran out also and China or Russia if they get in the way.....Peace is not worth it if you live witout freedom huddled in fear...Don't be a liberal coward!!!
112. safe for democracy
rich ,   st petersburg fl   (12.20.06)
looks like the balance of power has changed in the middle east..maybe now peace will develop
113. Iranian Nukes
Robert Zimmerman ,   Houston, Teaxs   (12.20.06)
We are heading toward a nuclear war in the middle east. Iran and Syria have begun taking over Lebanon,Hamas( Palestine) and they are creating the turmoil in Iraq. They are not stupid enough to try on the battlefield. They have lost everytime. It will be in a suitcase or truck . But it is coming. The swords of war are being rattled. We can't wait for them to only strengthen. We must act now and decisively.
114. Israel has suicidal leadership
(12.20.06)
I can say this because half my family is Jewish. The Israeli government does not represent the best interests of world Jewry. Why? Because, with all that brain power, it cannot see its own role in creating enemies. How can one justify bulldozing homes of Palestinians? The originators of Israel freely admitted they committed terrorist atrocities against Palestinians to force them to flee their land so Israel could take it. If Israel would devote the money it's spent on just ONE nuclear bomb to help the impoverished Palestinians, who live in a ghetto compared to Israel--just think, if Israel were to set up, say, one protected area for Palestinian children, pay for top schools, build some housing instead of bulldozing homes, ensure adequate medical care--in other words, make a true effort to be a good neighbor--can you imagine the potential effect? Such a relatively small effort, even on the most taken scale, could create a sea change in world opinion. Many other countries would be willing to follow suit in an international rebuilding effort. Of course, it would be necessary to fortify such a model experiment against Muslim fanatics who would want to destroy any attempts at reconciliation with Israel. But imagine what could be done. Most families including the Palestinians just want peace and security, good education and a future for their children. It would cost so little to begin this process. But even such a tiny effort would take the wind out of the sails of Muslim fundamentalists. Such a neighborly solution seems obvious to me, but given the horrendous history by now on both sides, it would be tough to implement. But we cannot let the blind Israeli misleaders lead the Jews into a trap. There is no way they can survive against a hostile Arab world.
115. I'd like a six-pack of Hideous Detonations, please
John Galt ,   Ouray, CO USA   (12.20.06)
116. Mahmud the child
Ian ,   Coloradl   (12.20.06)
He is like a child holding a loaded pistol pointed at a policeman.
117. Give a three year old boy a bomb
Pat Nixon ,   Chicago   (12.20.06)
Give a three year old boy a bomb ...and he'll use it.
118. #14
v. n.y. ,   usa   (12.20.06)
sorry, but there has been multiple regimes in israel, many parties, many political views and many many changes in political ideology. many rfegimes have changed. remember, israel is a democracy! you fail to understand that no matter what regime exists in israel, weather it is supportive or ignoring of any arab demands, it is still a jewish/israeli regime who is noit interested in committing suicide to appease the arabs or iranians. which regime would the ayatollas and ahmadinejaad approve of in israel? the regime that hands them israel on a silver platter? the regime who sells the israelis out and endangers their lives to appease these nuts? don't fool yourself into believing arabs and iranians want a regime change in israel, want zionism eliminated....but not the jewish people! this is bs. they want us over and done with, pure and simple. they can hide behind words like "we want regime changes, but not to kill the israeli jews" bull shit. there have been tons of regime changes in israel over 59 years. they were moderate or more strict or easier on the arabs, etc... and guess what? with all these varried regimes, not a single peace plan was achieved and lasting. what does it say to you? the answer is that with any regime, good or bad for the arabs and persians. they are simply not interested. they want us gone. period! the fate of the soviet union? who is ahmi and the arabs to dictate a change of regime in another country? let him look at his own regime of intollerance, backwordness, poverty and severe unemployment and dissatisfaction before he plans on changing our regime. and look at ruddia's regime now. now that is quite a regime.....mafia, murder, poverty as well, no middle class, extgremely poor economy and unemployment, etc.... how can you compare a democratic regime to a socialist regime now in russia.....and they seem to be going backwards now, towards a more socialist/communist regime. no comparrison here at all. do you think ahmi would demand a different regime of russia if it was in the middle east? look at how they treat tgheir muslims!
119. bankrupt religion?
KEV ,   IOWA   (12.20.06)
Let's face it, all religions have become "bankrupt" and corrupt. From Islamist that wish to force their religion on others as Iran is trying, to Christians who refuse to see what the real threats are and afraid to do anything that might "anger" others
120. oy the hatred
Zeskoonk ,   israel   (12.20.06)
