1. NO EFFECT ON MISSILE INDUSTRY

DR, if ,once again,you read the article,asserts exactly what I mentioned to you earlier on.No effect on the missilies development whatsoever.The more the USA tries to isolate Iran, the more these people,whom you described as having rich culture and are good people, will continue to make progress and achieve enough detterent against possible adventure in the Persian Gulf.Now, your assertion that the leaders are leading the Iranians astray, do they include these brilliant scientists and nuclear studied scholars.Are the categorised under the rulers or the people?You decide,DR.

, you, i, the entire world and particularly russia and china KNOW that everything iran and iranians have achieved militaristically is due to the outdated and basically old technology and old arms post the cold war that russia and china sold to the iranians. deals od old arms and missiles sale between iran and russia is a known fact. however, be advised and know that the arsenal iran now has is not iranian made. iran couldn't support itself militaristically because, no, it really doesn't have the know how and technology needed for modern day arms. all they have came from russian coffers and russian scientists. they can call any missile they shoot into the air or from a ship a basheer, shmasheer, whatever, but we know where it came from and that nothing was ever iranian made no matter how many iranian scientists want to accomplosh. do you not remember that ahmadinejad told the world just a couple of months ago that his country found the cure for aids? how bombastic a declaration. iran? cure to aids? iranian scientists have nothing to offer unless led by the hand by the russians and chinese scientists in iran. they are helpless and are not the sharpest tool in the shed! i would say that russia and china can play any games they want with iran. iran is not self sufficient in any aspect. it needs the west and other international relations to survive. it's a pitty the iranian rulers do not realize that when sanctions show their effect, the country is going to sink! it is already so very poor. the people so miserable, the job market is zero, poverty everywhere, people are so discontent, especially the young population. just look at what the recent ellections in iran showed! iran in isolation would fall, or at least the ayatollah's regime will be in big danger of surviving. don 't make iran to be self sufficient. it may look pretty is certain parts, but the inside core is poverty and misery and unemployment.

Its good that you expressed yourself.Dont worry about the old technology and the useless Iranian scientists.You dont seem to know anything about Iran.All you know is what they dont have.Then, why is the USA finding it necessary to increase an extra armada of warship and calls it an appropriate response to Iranian threats.USA had enough numbers of naval strength in the Persian Gulf and tyhe Oman Sea.Why these extra expense for the American taxpayers?You need to read more friend.You seem to be lost in your own world.Difficult for me to write more.
4. Dont underestimate Irans ability to surprise
CS ,   London   (12.25.06)
It is often said that this UN Resolution paints Iran into a corner. Far from it. The moment the Supreme Leader sees no other option than negotiations he will sacrifice Ahmadinejad on the altar of pragmatism and blame this whole episode on Ahmadinejad as quick as you can say good riddance. There are already rumblings about Ahmadinejads performance, his attitude and arrogance inside Iranian political circles and getting rid of him will open up new possibilities for a new dialogue with the rest of the world.

These missles are blatant disregard to life. They destroy air water and soil. Can these Iranians go home and look at their children ? What about animals and plants ? Humans are not acting on any G-d's teaching. This is the work of human evil. Nothing justifys it.
6. Missles in Iran
mark ,   Seattle USA   (12.25.06)
Isreal is truly scared, as it should be. I ran will nuke Isreal as soon as possible. I'm curious to see how that will affect the Middle East situation.
7. #6 Mark - I think not
Umm El Kul Naqba   (12.26.06)
You seem to forget the batteries of Patriots that might just intercept the Iranian Shahab-3 over Syria or the Iranian missile might just hit the West Bank or Gaza since those areas are not protected. It is possible that they might hit Israel but the moment that Israel satellites and radar detects the missile, Israel will most likely counter attack and Israel's technology is vastly superior to that of Iran in every way. Iran will be wasted should it ever get to the war of Armagedon. It would be suicidal to attack Israel.

If Iran is no threat..then what's the problem? Could it be it Iran wont knuckle down to the US and Israel juggernaut? That bleeding heart about missiles.tell that to the Lebanese..the cluster bombs are working well....
