Marcel ,   Florida   (09.19.07)
you wrote; "By no means this war is a big loss to USA from all aspects, and to the region and world economy" Alex, I don't know why you want to blame only one small segment of the population. There is enough blame to go around for every party in this coming WWIII. To put it in a more understandable perspective; The party is just about over. Do you really think any nation can flaunt the God of creation and embrace perversion and such wickedness and not eventually recieve it's payday Judgment arrives on the nations which have rejected the laws of God and turned into Sodom & Gomorrah. You can't just blame we Christian Zionists or the Neocons. Everyone will recieve what they are due from on high and nothing anyone does can stop it. Iran and Islam will also be judged for their hatred and violence towards Israel. God's jusgment is an equal opportinuty venture since before the time of Noah. You can count on it as a sure thing coming soon.

You say that Israel is an agressor, that anything the Muslims do is retaliation and the choice for war is Israel's. Do you believe yourselves? You want to get rid of the Jews and replace it with an Arab country. That is what your leader Ahmadinejad said will happen on Al Quds day (october 12) whatever Israel does. Even if you are right in wanting to wipe out the Jews, you can't say that Israel is the agressor and you are just defending yourselves. Stop lying to us and to yourselves. It is just too wierd.

William Lorraine ,   los Angeles   (09.19.07)
Do you want to wait for Iran to hit you when they have nukes? Better the air war starts now than later. The madman in Iran said he wants to wipe Israel off the map. Believe him.The mad mullahs have killed thousands of Americans and Jews already through their terrorism. They started this war,we Infidels must finish it! By the way, yes,I'm sitting in Los Angeles, but the front line in this war is everywhere! They have already tried to blow up the airport in LA and flown airplanes into NYC.
34. #14 Mahmood and others
DR ,   Florida, USA   (09.19.07)
You are repeating the same words Saddam Hussein said. " mother of all wars" etc etc...all Bullshit!!! Iran has no chance at winning any kind of war with Israel and the US. Their old-model Russian tuna cans...I mean bombers cannot even get out of Iranian air space without being shot down. Hopefully Iran will wake up and relaize it is headed into an abyss, but if they don't, they are doomed.

36. Israel WARNED US on Iraq #16
GZLives ,   US   (09.19.07)
#16 your post defied reality but its not surprising given its all the typical Leftist drivel. In recent interviews Colin Powell's former assistant Lawrence Wilkerson has stated that once it was learned that the US was planning an Iraqi invasion, Israeli leadership arrived in Washington to warn the US AGAINST the invasion. Its typical BS given how things worked out to BLAME THE JEWS instead of admitting the Jews were CORRECT. The only thing Israel was guilt of was not publicly challenging a US administration which is obviously understandable. So Alex, tell your leftie handlers Wilkerson's interviews contradict their anti semtic claims
37. #21 - Very accurate post!!!
AJ ,   Proud AIPAC Member   (09.19.07)
38. No one is going to get rid of the Jews.
Persian CAT   (09.19.07)
No one can and no one will. Specially the Iranians. How do you explain the fact the the largest Jewish population in the ME outside Israel lives in Iran (for thousands of years, to say the least). There has not been a SINGLE reported incident of harassment of the Iran's indigenous Jewish population nor desecration of Jewish cemeteries and places of worship even under this regime - something that happens in the "civilized" Europe every day. I would not give too much credence to what Ahmadinejad says. His term is almost over and he'll be gone. It is not simply in the Iranian DNA to "destroy the Jews". What I like to see if to see Zionism and Islamism to be destroyed BOTH becuase these two religious-based POLITICAL movements compete for power in the ME and no peace will come unless we the people get rid of both of these dangerous gangs and gangster. In short, I am NOT equating Zionism with Judaism, and I think that's what Ahamdinejad was trying to say, but the message was twisted by the usual suspects to beat the war drums. Obviously you've fallen for it, my friend.
39. Alex & Fadi : Suicidal witnesses.........
Franklin ,   France   (09.19.07)
The truth in Alex way : Never mind the destruction of Iranians despite the provocative statements of their Mullahs.... Mind only about ............. 1. More hatred to USA and more American youths send for death, 2. Rise in the oil price 3. Possible 3rd world war plus...Big loss to USA from all aspects, and to the region and world economy..... WHAT ABOUT IRANIAN PEOPLE ?? WHAT ABOUT THAT MONKEY IN HIS MAJLIS ??? ALEX , AS YOU, CARE ONLY FOR USA...BUT IT SOUD LIKE ISLAMIC SUICIDAL BLACKMAIL.
40. If Iran is so weak....
JZ   (09.19.07)
Then why the heck would the US need to attack them? You all are hypocrites! First you say Iran is a very dangerous nation and must be stopped and then you make fun of Iran for having a weak army and antiquated equipment. Well which one is it? If they are weak then why must we go through another bloody war that will kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians? Even if they do have a strong army, do we know that they will attack the US or Israel? We said that Iraq was a threat to the world and that an Iraqi attack on the US was imminent, but that all turned out to be false. America, please do not destroy the people of another nation!
41. I smell FEAR coming from Tehran...my advice is:
AJ ,   Proud AIPAC Member   (09.19.07)
Be afraid. Be very afraid. The US/Israel alliance is critical to the free world. We will not allow muslim extremist SOBs to dominate, kill and impose their DEMENTED will on the world.
42. Persian CAT #19 What a Crap!
Brod ,   USA   (09.19.07)
What brutal occupation crap are you talking about? It is Israel's land since 4000 years ago that Israel liberated from the Islamist-Jihadist occupiers in the War of 1967. So, don't spew your Islamist-Jihadist occupation crap. And don't talk about aparthied. Look at all the non-Islamist countries in the world, including Persia that the Islamist-Jihadists ravaged, subdued, dominated and islamized since the 7th century! The fact is it is the Islamist-Jihadists that are the usurpers and occupiers of the non-Islamist countries in the region and in the world.
43. response to #19 (Persian CAT)
fedya ,   new york, usa   (09.19.07)
LOL @ your mind poisoned by false information. Israel's occupation is not brutal, the residency of the Palestinians is brutal and please don't tell me that the Persians all of a sudden care for the Palestinians. This is bogus and false and they have their own agenda to push. How can you call Israel an apartheid regime? Do you even know what the word apartheid means? Please look it up and then start complaining about countries that actually have an apartheid regime.
44. Irans Air Force
Bob Mcgarrah ,   USA   (09.19.07)
I check the internet on the size of Irans Air Force, If they bomb Isreal Its going to be from a kite.
45. #40
Rich ,   Canada   (09.19.07)
Isreal is not scared of a "military" confrontation with Iran, Isreal is worried Iran will fire chemical or nuclear warheads at civilian populations or infrastructure. Israel and the US have no intention of killing civilians... they primarily want to destroy the missile launchers and chemical and nuclear facilities.
46. HUMOUR IN UNIFORM...DR...#34
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (09.19.07)
Actually,looking at from your point of view,Iranian jets cannot even be airborne for that matter...........any way,we never talk in war about wining and losing....this is not baseball,DR.But for some reason,I feel that you should not get carried away too much,DR
47. #14. Its you again MAHMOOD!
Cy ,   Reading, Berks   (09.19.07)
You must adore your hero AhMADinejad! Do you kiss a little picture of him every night before you go to bed? Why dont you find a better cause to support? Because THAT LOT are a LOST CAUSE. And by the way Im neither Israeli or Jewish
48. this monkey doesnt live in the real world
zionist forever   (09.19.07)
Iran has old jets which do not have the nececary range to reach Israel while Israels new F16I and F15I were designed with the capablity to carry extra fuel than the standard F15 or F16 to give them long range but Iran doesnt have any of these so their bombers wont be going very far. If Iran tries to use Syria as a base for its bombers then there wont be much left of Damascuss or Assad when its all over because Syria would be considered fair game for allowing Iran to use its territory Israel has both arrow and patriot missle defense which can deal with most Iranian missles. Israel also needs to remind the Iranians that it has hundreds of Jerico 2 and Jerico 3 missles that have the capability to hit anywhere in Iran and to carry a neuclear warhead if nececary. Also I would love to see the Iranians live up to this boast of confronting American cruise missles it would be great to watch all the American missles defeat all this wonderfull Iranian technology. Ahmadinijad looks like a monkey and his thinking is more on the same level as a monkey rather than a human who understands about war.
49. NATO
JOE ,   LONDON   (09.19.07)
I THINK ALL THESE THREATS, POLITICAL AND MILITARY ANALYSES AND ALL THE SCENARIOS MENTIONED IN OUR TALKBACK FORUM WILL CEASE AND A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOUND IFONLY, ISRAEL JOINS NATO INSTANTLY!!! SUCH A MOVE SHOULD STOP ALL THE VARIOUS THREATS COMING FROM ALL QUARTERS AND WILL HELP US ALL TO FANTASISE EVEN LESS. I SURE HOPE SOMEBODY OUT THERE IS LISTENING!!!!
50. Irans mother of all wars
zionist forever   (09.19.07)
I dont know if the preforming monkey has heard about it but the US has been drawing up a millitary plans if it comes to it. Over about a week the US would bomb not only the Iranian neuclear facilities but the entire Iranian millitary .. no planes left on the ground, the captains of their ships would be mistaking them for submarines as they end up at the bottom of the Gulf, radar and other tactical targets destroyed. Whats going to be left of the Iranian millitary to back up these threats after they try and take on 3 US carrier groups on their front doorstep with hundreds US F/A 18s, B2 stealth bombers, various other US warplanes and tomohawk cruise missles. No US troops on the ground needed to attack this would be air power alone and as nobody is talking about rebuilding Iran afterwards it can be achived .. knock them down and keep them down. In 1991 Saddam Hussain thought he could win the mother of all wars and at the time he had the strongest army in the Gulf and when the mother of all wars was over there was no such thing as an Iraqi millitary the only value Saddams millitary had was scrap metal value. Then later when the Americans dug him out his hole he ended up at the end of the rope Iran has some reasonable quality reverese engineered Nortth Korean missles, its most modern jets are reverse engineered F5 tigers along with some MIGS and a couple of F14s which they have no spare parts for. Along with 4-5 missle boats and a couple of subs. In general nothing the US cant handle alone without to much risk to its own fleet.

why are we always threatened by these radicals - its time!!
52. #10 Rob from UK
chaim ,   miami beach usa   (09.19.07)
what you seem to ignore the Mules in Iran/Syria believe that their vaulted air force only have to know how to lift off and the rest is left up to Allah just like the 9/11 glorious pilots , send up every plane maybe 1 or 2 will actually make it into Israel that alone is a great victory fror Allah
53. #45
JZ ,   USA   (09.19.07)
Why do you think Iran would launch a chemical or nuclear warhead at Israel. First of all, they don't even have nuclear warheads (I'm not sure about chemical). Secondly, Iran is not stupid! Their government does want to remain independent and in control. They know that if they would launch an aggressive attack on Israel that the world would turn against them and they would be destroyed. So I highly doubt this would ever happen. Has this Iranian government (since 1979) ever declared aggressive war or acted in an irrational manner? I know the current President sounds irrational and has made some stupid statements, but none worse than or stupider than my President Bush. The only difference is that Bush has acted on his stupidity and irrationality. I really don't think that Israel and especially the United States have anything to fear from Iran! And there is no evidence to prove otherwise.
54. Bring it on!

(09.19.07)
Hey Pussy Persian Kitty! Israel is there forever! You want to kill every single jew on earth and Israel?' Bring it on! you dumb antisemitic, wanna be Hitler! Stop talking and You will see if you dare to attack Israel, what Israel will do... Israel is not the problem, your hatred, antisemitism, teaching hatred, destruction, brainwashing children is the problem. Why is that BEFORE 1948, there were arab massacres against Jewish community in Palestine? Why is that the name Palestine is never mentioned in any holy book but yes, Judea, Samaria and Israel? WHY IS THAT JERUSALEM IS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE KORAN????? Why did a Roman Emperor changed the name Judea and Samaria to Palestine??? Why did you since 1948 try to kill Israel? You cant and you will never defeat Israel. Israel is strong, I hope you´ll stay where you are there in your dreamworld teocratic,wannabe Nazis, Wanna BE Hitlers in Iran, and stay the hell out off Israel, or you will face the consequences.... Long Live Israel

57. #38 PERSIAN CAT
(09.19.07)
my name is abira humerei and i work in the usa with iranian refugees from after the revolution when this present regime took power. so, i am very familiar with what is going on inside iran, what they are hiding and what they are doing and their policies behind closed doors. first, let me tell you that when you say, "there is not a single reported incident of harrassment of the iran's indigenous jewish population nor destruction of jewish cemetaries and places of worship even under this regime...." YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS TO BE FACT BECAUSE IRANIAN NEWS ARE CONTROLLED BY GOVERNEMENT AND ITS REGIME. ALL RADIOS, NEWS AGENCIES AND MEDIA IS CONTROLLED BY THE AYATOLLAS. knowing that to be a fact and the reality on the ground in iran, i know for a fact that they censor news that are negative and do not serve the regime's purpose or reputation. they sensor everything that doesn't support the present regime and make sure to imprison and torture any and all opposition forces be they independent journalists that talk openly against regime's atrocities. nothing is for public or outside consumption that reflects badly on the regime's policies....that also pertains to the miserable life jews experience under this present regime. i have had multitudes of experience in interviewing incoming bahaii and jewish refugees from iran that somehow managed vis bribes and much suffering to travel incognito and arrive in israel (the jews) and in the usa (the bahaiis). both jews and bahaiis report tremenduous intollerances on the part of the regime, killings in small ghettos and villages, descecration of holy sites, arrests during the night for no apparent reason, imprisonment without due process and trial where they either vanquish in prison or never heard from again. both report living in constant fear of being imprisoned and of disappearing all of a sudden from their families. this has been practiced by the regime for years, putting such fear in the community where their voices can never be heard, where complaints are tantamount to imprisonment and a "mini pogrom retaliation" against the entire community. the jewish people inhabiting teheran and environs in iran are on constant allert and threats made by the regime. no one knows this, but many of the bahaii and jews in teheran have been forced to wear id cloth on tyheir arms, something the iranian government will never admit to. many are not allowed to attend demonstrations and are automatically imprisoned if they dare voice a negative opinion. the regime has killed thousands of bahaiis since it assumed power and many of the jews in the country disappeared into the evian prison never to be heard from again. the ghettos the jews live in are of miserable conditions without adequate facilities and running water. they are watched constantly even as they go onto the market and constantly harassed on streets by revolutionary guards. we, in our organization have conducted many interviews with people coming out of iran to know enough that you are cluless to suggest that iranians do not subject jews and bahaiis to daily fear and torture. life in iran for jews is not normal. it is repressed, feared and controlled. the regime allows a jew to pray, allows a jew to be in "government" to represent their community. however, these are all exterior shams for world consumption and have nothing to do with the reality there. they tell the jews what to say to the media so that the regime will look tolerant. but it is a game. jews in iran are prisoners. they cannot leave because they will not be given a visa to leave. the same goes for syria's 4,000 jews still there.
58. Unlike in Labanon
Anon ,   JHB RSA   (09.19.07)
this war unlike in Labanon will not be aginst a terrorist group hiding behind women and children, in this war, against a country we dont have to watch our step, we can go in and destroy. in this war, with computers, hi-tech and G-D, Iran does not stand a chance
59. I wonder...
L ,   TA   (09.19.07)
I wonder if I'd also be saying 'yey Israel, go bomb Iran!' if I was still sitting in my home in London pre-aliyah!? As 'fun' as it sounds to do so, I'm now sitting in a Tel Aviv apartment.
60. ..thats if any Iranian Planes are left over after US+?Strike
