31. John " ThunderBolt" for US President
Obama ,   Washington DC   (10.01.07)
High time to bring down the evil empire. The world cannot afford to wait and sell time to Iran.
32. No. 2 Steve

It appears your talkback has gone over the heads of some of the people commenting here. Perhaps the next time you may want to consider adding a disclaimer since it appears you've caused a few readers to become apoplectic.
33. 26#22 i hope the us and we will neutralize this threat
pinchas ,   jerusalem   (10.01.07)
G-D scolded the angels not The chosen people.
34. #2 Sarcasm=1?
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (10.01.07)
I read #2 as being sarcastic. Clearly, others read it literally. Lacking facial and tonal expressions of speech, the written message sometimes needs emoticons. Confusion could be avoided by putting a "PS Sarcasm=1," the emoticon ";-)" (winking) at the end or the like. Perhaps it would save a lot of anger.
35. BottomLine:: GCC countries also wants and behind such move!
KMR ,   Middle East   (10.01.07)
36. Who exactly is John Bolton?
Israel lobbyist   (10.01.07)
Why should the US start a war against Iran when such a war is completely against US interests? The answer is very simple. It has to do with rich American Jewish lobbyists. http://www.irc-online.org/content/3388
37. Bolton
Roxy ,   Israel   (10.01.07)
Mr Bolton happens to be right on the money so to speak. Time is running out and if nothing is done Iran will have the bomb and will use the threat of using it to intimidate its neighbors in the Middle East and the Gulf.It will use the threat of using it to have the UN do its bidding as well. Iran will seek to remove Israel off the map either by bombing it with the Nukes, or by having the rest of the world destroy Israel by threatening to bomb them if they don't! If Israel falls so will the rest of the non muslim world, as well as the muslim nations that are not the same branch of Islam as Iran! You have been warned, so stop sitting and doing nothing because you are allowing them to build the bomb materials in the labs under ground that we were told about in yesterday's ynet news!
38. Hope to see you soon. May I see your Abba, yet?
Rivkah   (10.01.07)
I should be there on the 15th, but will need to rest a day or so. I think it is helpful for your Abba to know I am nearby even if your decision prevents me from seeing him. I plan to stay three months since that is the visa limit and I do not know if it can be extended or if I can get funding for the hotel bill which Expedia.com got for me at $65. a day which is a very good rate. The US State Dept. said not to take the buses in Israel, but the taxis will cost too much and I enjoy talking to the people on the buses, reassuring them Israel is a better place to live because of the Saturday Shabbat which is a protection for a people and country.
39. WHAT EXACTLY BOLTON WANTS...#36
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.01.07)
If you look at it very closely,Bolton is making every attempt to remain in the limelight of USA politics.He did what he had to do as the special representative to UN.But lately, there is not much left to do.....................so he joins the bandwagon.
40. #38 is for OS at #29
rivkah   (10.01.07)
41. #15...yeah, they're exactly alike.
DR ,   Florida, USA   (10.01.07)
You're an idiot for even trying to make the comparison.
42. Voice of America & Iran
kian ,   vienna USA   (10.01.07)
Voice of America and Fiasco at Persian Service. Millions of dollars are spent in Persian Service of Voice of America but the end result is nothing but scandalous way of cockamamie management and programming. It is hard to believe but the Persian Service which supposed to be an organization to convey the policy of the U.S. has become a free platform for hard-line terrorist group of communists who attack the United Sates! I have the documents in writings to prove that these were done with the full knowledge of the management. I used to work there and as I said before, I have all the documents in writings. The manager is a woman called Sheila Gandji who can not read and write Persian. Therefore, in order to hide this shortcoming from the higher management, she has hired an eighty something man called Kambiz Mahmoudi who has a lengthy background as crook and in charlatanism. You expect a doctor to be in charge of a medical clinic. You expect an engineer to be in charge of an engineering department. You expect a plumber to fix your plumbing. So why do you expect a person who has no education in Iran and doesn't know the language of that country should be in charge of publicity, literature or politic for such position? Sheila Gandji falsely pretended and presented herself as educated with background in journalism. These are absolute fabrications. Nobody in Iranian communities inside of the country or outside has any knowledge about her being a journalist, then and now. Her partner, Kambiz Mahmoudi is a hateful and despicable person whose activities as crook are widely known through out Iran. Can't the U.S. government appoint somebody without such shameful background and baggage? Don’t think that this is a personal vendetta. Let me quote you a view from another media: "The Iran Steering group concluded that much of the anti-American perspective that is broadcast is the result of decisions made by station managers in Washington D.C. and Prague. Sheila Gandji, the manager of Persian service has faced sharp criticism, particularly for her decision to stop VOA shortwave radio program in July, 2006 in order to focus on television broadcasts, which are more susceptible to censorship, since the government regularly confiscates satellites dishes in order to prevent the infiltration of foreign broadcasts." This is not the only one. The mismanagement at the Persian Service of Voice of America is the subject of hundreds of sites and articles indicative of disgusts and ridicules in the world about VOA. The bizarre situation at the Persian Service of Voice of America caused even the Republican Senator Coburn to write a long letter to President Bush about the fiasco there. It is only in America where the government pays to be insulted. Really, why Voice of America is doing this harm to our nation?
43. Bolton is jobless and irrelevant.
Persian CAT   (10.01.07)
The "former" GW errand boy and neocon jackass, whose appointment to the the UN job was done during congressional recess because he did not have chance in hell to get approved through normal processes not hangs out in the gutter and gets the fringe Brits to cheer him. Bolton has NO official position in and out of the American government. So what he says is worthless and irrelevant. Why the Israeli media even bother to talk about this washed out politician is beyond me. Maybe that's all you guys get. I feel real sorry for you.
44. #43, Persian cat , don't feel sorry for us!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (10.01.07)
Bolton is only echoing what the vast majority of Americans think and feel. Any sane person with half a brain will tell you that Iran's regime has to go. Many Iranians know this as well. So for you to come here and feel sorry for us is laughable. We feel sorry for you. A typical, uneducated, propogandized clone of the Mullahs. Hopefully one day Iran will rid itself of religious fanaticism and join the modern world. Maybe then you will understand the likes of Bolton.
45. another war Bush will not finish.
george ,   usa   (10.01.07)
Bush lost the war in Iraq bec. he will dump this problem on to the next president. he was a broken record stating 'we are winning' 3 years ago. after they bomb iran, are they going to install another president that is 'friendly' to the west like the Shah & spend another trillion dollars on iran?
46. 45 George: To make big money, wars have to last a long time
Rivkah   (10.01.07)
with lots of buildings to rebuild. A short war does not make money for the banks and military industrial complex and construction giants like Haliburton. In the Book of Daniel, there is a lion with eagle's wings on its back. The lion is likely Britain and the eagle's wings that were plucked from its back was probably America at the Revolutionary War separation from Britain. The eagle's wings were lifted above the earth and made to stand on the feet of a man with the HEART OF A MAN, Daniel said. This is unheard of in the history of mankind: nations are BEASTS and here is a beast nation with the HEART OF A MAN. America bombs and then rebuilds, something beast nations do not do. How long was East Germany in ruins after WWII? Appreciate America, it is the hammer of the whole earth as the tribe of Joseph. When the eagle with a man's heart is broken after the war with Iran, there will not again be another beast nation with the heart of a man until the Messiah comes. America and the tax money from Americans so generously spent on rebuilding former enemy nations after wars will be a faded memory of the only beast among nations that ever had a human heart. All other nations have had the hearts of beasts.
47. Iran
Hal ,   Spfld. U>S>A>   (10.01.07)
If you want to know how it starts and ends read Ezekiel-Daniel& Revelation in the Bible. WE WIN !!!!!!!!
