When was the first or last time the US ever fought for Israel? the answer is never. The US only fights to save Muslims even though Islam is America's enemy and has killed so many Americans. The more propaganda regarding America going to bomb Iran makes it positive that it will never happen.
62. #12,The Israelis are not as stupid as you.
Persian CAT   (02.26.07)
They'll scream alot but will think twice before attacking Iran. It's a shame that you call yourself an Iranian and go on begging the foreigners to destroy Iran. I assure you the Ahatollahs are not going to be the ones who will suffer - heck they'll in protected in well-defended bunkers in "undisclosed locations". So what will be bombed are the roads, bridges, the power plants, harbors and other facilities that are vital for the economy. So it is the Iranian people who will undoubtedly PAY the price. I am not doubting that you may be an Iranian becasue Iran has its own share of evil dumbasses too.
63. IAF
Jewish tiger ,   Lebanon   (02.26.07)
You're forgetting one small fact, IAF could wipe out the entire arab world if they wanted. You need to review all the previous air wars between israel and those "powerful" arab nations!
64. Where's the Syrain AF #59?
Stevie "Two-Shoes" ,   NJ,USA   (02.26.07)
During the Israeli victory over Hizbullah last July, the optometrist and boy-king of Syria Assad's "palace" was repeatedly buzzed at roof top level by IAF F-16's. Why didn't the Syrian Air Force respond? Actually they do this quite a lot, sometimes just because they can. I bet Assad stands at the window & marvels at his air force's brand new F-16I's! http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3268747,00.html Message to Assad: While ground forces launched an operation in Gaza early Wednesday, four Israel Air Force F-16 aircrafts carried out an aerial flight over Syrian President Bashar Assad's palace, near the city of Latakia. Air Force planes flew around the palace while Assad was in it. The IDF took a similar step in the past, about three years ago, after a terror attack in a Haifa restaurant.

Indeed, the Ayatollahs will suffer. They will no longer have a country or a people to rule. The entire infrastructure, military and civilian- top to bottom will be taken out. Remember that Israeli "loss" in Lebanon? That was done with Israel being restrained, Now you'll have it full force with the US letting loose, too. We may not be good at exit strategies, but we sure can level a country fast, and thorough enough. If they do survive, they will have to live underground, in hiding, until their supplies run out. They will not be able to leave the country- no major roads will be left in tact, and anything that moves will be hit. And, you are forgetting one very serious repercussion- when those nuclear enrichment plants are hit, where do you think all that radiation will go?
66. For #45-Does war create peace?
Wayne Hutchinson ,   Niagara Falls, Ont.   (02.26.07)
I would rather be a Canadian and to follow a peaceful course than run the risk of annihalation through the U.S. doctrine of imposing peace by waging war on prey that it deems to be easy pickings. What happened back during your revolutionary war when when the pathetic Montgomery and the treacherous Arnold invaded Canada? Firstly they tried to induce Quebecers to believe they would be better off joining the U.S. than to be under British rule. They wisely denied the former and as an end result were treated well by Guy Carleton, the British governor........allowed to keep their own customs and R.C. religion, etc. Additionally the the two bumbling American generals failed to capture Quebec and were sent home limping.....literallly for Arnold! As if a lesson here was not learned, the Yanks crossed the Niagara in the war of 1812-14 and were sent promptly packing by Canadian milita and British regulars, never to try an invasion of Canada again. Some 1500 bluecoats were repelled at Stoney Creek, near Hamilton by 700 British regulars and militia, along with a group of native Indians whooping in the woods, causing terror and panic in the hearts of the Yanks who scurried home to Fort Niagara fast like. Today we find no lesson learned in a bumbling idiotic U.S. policy in Iraq where many innocents are being killed.....more than during Sadam's tenure. In spite of this failure you are even contemplating beating up Iraq. For what? Such lunacy will result in countless deaths on both sides with so many innocent killed as well as Israel being obliterated. So Mr. warmonger #45 what the heck is wrong with being a pacifist. Is that not what the Hebrew scriptures and the Christian Greek scriptures teach? Wayne Hutchinson, Niagara, Can.
67. #62 - Persian Cat. Hezbollah didn`t "win" anything....
Iranian   (02.26.07)
they were removed from the south of Lebonan and are no longer in the position and proximity to launch attacks on Israel. they had a good position before but not now. true, they fired a bunch rockets, but strategically speaking, they are no longer an immediate threat. look at the damage in Israel and compare it to Lebonan and tell me who "won"? that`s what Hezbollah and Islamic Republic bring to us. and yes, this was all a part of the plan for the run up to attack on Iran nuclear sites.
68. #64, Let's say the Syrians won't be provoked.
Persian CAT   (02.26.07)
The fact that IAF pilots are nothing more that nuisance is not hidden to anyone except you. But then your command post is in Jersey! The fact is these childish displays have not deterrd nor stopped Syria from helping the Hezb, which scares the hell of you Zionists. You are the ones who are wasting gas flying around making fools out of yourselves. By the way, how do you think this happened at all? Just becuase the Israeli military "spokesman" reported it makes me think it is more fake than a three dollar bill.
69. MISINFORMED LINA............................#53
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.26.07)
Major portion of Condoliza's US $75 milllion went down the drain when attempts were made in Khuzistan province to bring about the uprising against the present regime.But the feedback was so poor that the present intelligence gathering on Iran is only confined to what you get from remnants of Shah's regime.
70. If the US hits Iran, there will be not mercy
DR ,   Florida, USA   (02.26.07)
I hope war will be averted, but it seems that Iran really wants conflict. If the US and Isarel do strike Iran, that country will be in shambles. Their economy will collapse and the people will surely revolt agaist the regime. Maybe this is the spark needed to change Iran into a mdern nation which will join the rest of the world in the fight on terror.
71. #69 Misinformed about what Mahmood?
Lina ,   USA   (02.27.07)
What part of my comment was inaccurate? I'm beginning to think you're out of touch with present day Iran. Why do you support Ahmadinejad? He's done the opposite of what he was put in position to do. Please enlighten me and identify his accomplishments.
72. MISINFORMED? OH.NO...........#71
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.27.07)
You have attempted to portray an image which goes far beyond the truth.There is no doubt that Ahmed Nejad's Govt has not been able to tackle many domestic issues.but that does not mean that he is outright going against the wishes of the masses.The circumstances surrounding the country with USA consolidating its position in Afghanistan,Arab puppets in the Persian Gulf,Iraq on the other side gave Iran a very precarious position to deal with.It has been USA endevour to change the regime in Iran since 1979.Your comments are totally misplaced and it clearly shows one-sided viewing of the situation.And dont you ever think that Iranians dont understand this situation.They have sacrificed but there is always a section of the society which does NOT see the situation realistically.For your information,one day military expense by the American troops in USA can rehabilitate the entire tornado affected area in the USA.How come I read in the press that many Americans are complaining about the Bush administration doing nothing to assist the people there the way it should be done?Lina, I have a lot to write but dont want to continue with numerous reasons of present Iranian stance.
