Lebanese ,   Lebanon/USA   (02.11.07)
Spare us your idiotic comments, we the divided and incompetent Lebanese allowed the PLO and now Hezbollah to use Lebanon as a staging ground for their holly war against Israel, that is why we have no sovereign country and that is why the Israelis fly over our country. So before you get stupid and start shooting your mouth off try to look at the reasons Lebanon is the way it is And the reason is not Israel and Zionism or the USA Its stupid people like you who continue repeating the same crap and refuse to look at their own actions and the consequences of those actions.
32. #31 Lebanese of Lebanon!
Sheikh yer Bu'Tay   (02.11.07)
Wow! Thank you for such a profound comment!!
33. #24... A call to repentance...
Sheikh yer Bu'Tay   (02.11.07)
It is so ironic that a reader's comment asking for repentance is posted with a commercial showing debachery at "Mike's Place"! The photo of the woman dancing in front of the man does not look sexy to me. She looks like a skank!
34. This is his big Feb.11th announcement?No fireworks there!!!!
jan ,   usa   (02.11.07)
35. So what!!!!
pj ,   usa   (02.11.07)
Egypt had long range guns that were supposed to reach Isreal, and the Israeli's ended up capturing the guns and using them on Egypt and that war ended in just 6 days. Hashem helped them before, and he'll do it again. Bring it on monkey man.

thank you. finally...someone with a brain.
38. Lebanese 31
Libneniyyeh ,   Lebanon   (02.11.07)
Thanks for the courtesy you showed in your response. If I remember correctly, not a single Lebanese confessional group is without blame. I lived every single war in our country and I am sick and tired of it. And I think you and I both know about the disproportionate responses made by Israel on Lebanon because of a handful of armed people, in this summer's war and the last. And I am sure you are also aware that just as one country provided weapons to one faction against another, another country hurried to do the same. If I were to choose the lesser of two evils, I'd side with the government, who at least is pushing to strengthen our army and enable it to defend our own borders from ALL agressors.
39. Iran the new global superpower Allah has spoken
zionist forever   (02.11.07)
So the US isnt the worlds only superpower now there is Iran to compete with. Iran might have some new developments but I am pretty sure that 90% of Ahmajihadids super weapons exist in his mind. Its obvious that his stealth drones are invisbile to radar considerfng they probably dont exist. Iran isnt even a world leader in UAV technology in general but suddenly they have develop a stealth one. What happened to the cure to AIDS that we were promised? Iran might not have the capability but they want to be alot more than a regional power they want to become a global superpower which alone is evidence they want nukes .. You want that then your going to need nukes if your going to get that superpower respect. Time for the US to use the stealth aircraft it defanitly has and make sure once and for all that Iran never becomes a global power.
40. RE: 31
zionist forever   (02.11.07)
Your right Lebanon has allowed itself to be used by terrorist organistions to be used as a ground to stage war against Israel and as a result Lebanon is paying the price for that politcly and physicly. What Lebanon needs now is to make peace with Israel do that you gain politcal and physical support from both the US and Israel, it will help weaken hizbollah along with the influence of Syria and Iran who will no longer be able to use Lebanon as their own private battleground to achive their own goals. Try and put this recent war behind you and make peace it was unfortunate but it was hezbollahs war not Lebanons.
41. 40 I SEE YOU VERY CONCERNED WITH IRAN
Observer ,   Of the world   (02.11.07)
IRAN WILL BE A POTENTIAL STATE,I KNOW THAT YOU SUBESTIMATE THE IRANIANS BUT YOU DO IT WITH VERY IRRESPONSABILITY
42. Israel & US need their own war games send Iran a message
zionist forever   (02.11.07)
Iran has been showing off its millitary strengh through all these war games prehaps its time for Israel to carry out its own war games .. test fire a couple of its jericho 2 surface to surface missles which are capable of hitting every inch of Iran. Let the dolhin submarines launch a few submarine to surface missles. Have the long range F15 & F16 jets test fire some air to surface missles. Send a message to Ahmajahadid that he isnt the only one with big toys Maybe the US even should hold some wargames, send F/A18s to carry out practise runs just short of the Iranian border, test fire a couple of tomohawk missles and genaly put on a show of strengh to make the Iranians worry about a US attack right now they have been making all the threats but the US has not responded ... show them what the US can do if Iran forces them into a situation where millitary force is the only option left to stop the neuclear program. Sometime you need to send a message to the enemy and remind them that they are not the only ones with millitary hardware. Iran keeps saying that the US wont attack and how they have the capability to damage US and Israeli interests worldwide time to face them down and tell Ahmajihidad that this is what you get if you mess with us.
43. #38..Dear Libneniyyah,
Sheikh yer Bu'Tay   (02.11.07)
"If I were to choose the lesser of two evils, I'd side with the government..." Thank you! Maybe, with your intellect & wit, maybe you can lead your people to peace. I hope so.
44. iran
has ,   canada   (02.11.07)
iran has been pressured on its neuclear program just because it refuses to bow bown to usa unlike other muslim country. i dont uderstand iran in its history never attacked even a single country yes its been attacked by many country just because its islamic relovution it didnt attack either non musilm or muslim then why every one is attacking iran on its neuclear issue.on the other hand zionist regime which has occupied pelestinian land had a long history of attacking differnt countrys and no one give a damn on its neuclear capabilities
45. iran
has ,   canada   (02.11.07)
yes i am agree with you.i havnt seen any country specialy in muslim world who can talk that fearlessly to so called super powers and its fearlessness will one day going to make it a muslim super power
46. #44
Lebanese ,   Lebanon/USA   (02.11.07)
maybe if you listen to the Iranian president and the Iranian mullahs when they say on so many occasions that their aim is to” wipe Israel off the map” just as so many previous Arab dictators and Muslim fanatics have made this declaration and lead their people to destruction and war, maybe then you will understand why Israel and the world in general is so concerned about the Iranians having nuclear capabilities.
47. response to comment #3
Judith ,   tujunga   (02.11.07)
i'm sorry sir that as much as you know you're mis-guided and need to listen. I know this leader of Iran will not stop till they take Israel out, he said it himself. The usa is next. He denies the holocaust and is in my opion adolf hitler reincarnated. Got to go no matter what the cost is. think of the children convert or be killed i'm sorry the former is not even a blip on the screen for me. I totally agree with #1 comment and then some.

51. Respone so #4
Mustafa ,   Canada   (02.12.07)
Criminal? why are you calling him a criminal? He hasn't done anything wrong... or is showing off your weapons a crime?
52. Response to #11
Mustafa ,   Canada   (02.12.07)
I tell you what's so hard to understand, the flights that have been done over Lebanese land by Israel without the permission of the Lebanese gov't... that's what's hard to understand.
53. Response to #19
Mustafa ,   Canada   (02.12.07)
Yeh buddy... at least Iran hasn't bombed Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, and North Korea, Palestine, Southern Lebanon, the Gollan Heights yet... But guess who has!
54. to Judith
Mohammed ,   Al misr (Egypt)   (02.12.07)
Yes I remember the six day war,but Iran is not Syria,Iran is not Egypt Iran is much more,Iran has weapons and yeah is a brave country,If i were you i don´t attack Iran.

Brian ,   Halifax Canada   (02.12.07)
An attack on a foreign embassy is an act of war. Threats to wipe a country off the map convey hostile intent. Proxy wars fought by front groups are also acts of aggression. All are part of Irans recent history.
56. Why Iran can"t have nuclear power plants
Tim Shay ,   Muscatine, Iowa USA   (02.12.07)
Every time that clown asks why shouldn't Iran have nuclear power just like every body else? The answer should be that He and his country are not responsible enough to have nuclear power. I don't ever recall anybody answering his retorical question.
57. Mike
AR ,   USA   (02.12.07)
First of all you didnt say anything about that in you first statement. Second of all Iran didnt say that they were doing flying drones over Israel. Not everything they do has to do with Israel. Third they say the drone has a 700 kilometer range israle is like 2000 kilometers away. Maybe the reason i dont understand what you are saying is because it dosnt make sense you just talk about hypotheticals that arent anywhere close to reality. If Iran was flying drones over Israel it would be and act of war if the US is flying drones over Iran it would be an act of war (we are actually). #16 They are in Iraq because they have been there for centuries Iraq used to be a part of Iran There were a lot of Iranians in Iraq. Iraq is Irans neighbor and it is a Shia dominated country like Iran. Why is the USA there, why are the british there, etc. Lebonan well excuse them for helping to rebuild a country that was flattened by Israel.
58. 57
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.12.07)
i was also referring to flying over american forces in iraq, whoever. iran knows that it can fly drones over israel from the land it occupies by proxy, so do not imagine that this announcement is not a direct veiled threat to israel as well. everything they do is to threaten and intimidate israel. also, even the iraqi shia do not welcome iran into their affairs. they gladly accept their assistance but they want iranian influence out. which pretty much goes for everyone else that accepts support from the mullahs.
59. 52
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.12.07)
maybe it is for the same reason that they do not enforce their own lebanese laws against hizbullah. and maybe it's for the same reason that hizbullah did not get national consensus before starting the summer war. or why hizbullha does whatever they please despite national will and legislation. why? because to oppose anything hizbullah says or does (not to mention anything that is not explicitly anti-israel) lays one open to being a treasonous zionist collaborator. moustafa, that's a middle eastern name, right? surely you know what that's all about, don't you? just try saying something nice or even-handed to your middle eastern friends about israel and you know the response you'll get. yeah, that's pretty hard to understand.
60. IRAN HAS WHAT IT ANNOUNCES
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.12.07)
Few months back,hue and cry was created over Iran's announcement of its upgraded Sahab missile with a range of 2000km.Irrespective of stupid and childish talk-back,let it be known that Iran possesses the power to retaliate and that is why reluctancy has been amply demonstrated by countries who probably thought they would have a similiar situation like the one they has before invading Iraq.Fellow reader,Iraq invasion is now history,dont play with fire.........you could not manage with armour piercing ani-tank missiles............you have lots of surprses this time round.
