we know who you are loyal too. so GO.

You make us believe that Iran is sending out people to countries persuading USA not to attack Iran....................that is joke of the year!

Israel, you are on your own. The US will never take military action against Iran. We've bitten off more than we can chew in your part of the world as it is and our idiot in chief has stretched our military to the breaking point. Good luck and g-dspeed

I read a lot of negative talkbacks in this forum and most I don't pay attention to because I believe it is probably more frustration than truth that drives people to talkback negatively and rightly so. However, sometimes I do agree with negative talkbacks when they are about people in the government that simply don't understand the consequences of their stupid actions. It is with that basis that I felt compelled to talkback about this article. Coming from the US, I am not exactly sure who Ayalon is, but he sounds genuinely INTELLIGENT! Peace in the middle east is probably far from happening, but through assertive diplomacy of those countries who allign themselves with the powerful nations who seek peace and democracy, the Ayatollahs in Iran and other trouble making countries will never prevail. I am not Jewish, I am not an Israeli nor have I ever lived there, but to those who are and do...From those who are in the US, we are with you and you will never be alone as long as you continue to fight for freedom, peace, love and god! May God bless all of you.

Iran fought Iraq for 8 years and could not bring down the government. I'm sure they saw the US do it in 8 weeks. They know the same time line is within reason for taking down Iran. A leader of Iran with that knowledge would be unwise not to be, shall we say, diplomatically sensitive, wisely creative, while he outwardly boasts of his bravery.
