I have an apology for you.. UP YOURS!!!
3. The positive effect of an Iranian deterrent
Chanalau, Tova ,   London   (11.16.07)
The world has had to get used to living with unstable nuclear powers like Pakistan and Israel so it won't be such a disaster if Iran joins the club. Just so long as its weapons are of sufficient quality, can be targeted accurately and be an effective deterrent. However, there is possibly still time for Israel to start behaving like a civilized nation, to offer compensation to the people it dispossessed throughout the world, to clear out once and for all from the occupied territories and to declare an end to its six decades of domination. Those settlers who want to stay put should be prepared to become peacable citizens of a Palestinian state.
4. BottomLine::West got to apologize world for not hitting Iran
KMR ,   Middle East   (11.16.07)
.......till now!! West must not give into this delaying tactics of Iran...Iran can only be made understand by stick. IAEA portraying Iran as transparent while enrichment work continuing is laughable. Don't trust Mohammed !!!!
5. And The Wold Fiddles
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (11.16.07)
iran has offered China and Russia the right price to buy time until it has the Bomb. This is clear. The IAEA has demonstrated its complicity by allowing Iran to obfuscate its way until it has the Bomb. When confronted with that fait accompli, it will then insist it did everything within its mandate to warn the UN of Iran's agenda but was met with deaf ears. The die is cast. Iran will get the Bomb unless military intervention is forthcoming. The formerly non-aligned countries, the Arab world, Venezuela, Brazil and Bolivia are joining Russia, China, N. Korea, and Iran , soon likely be joined also by India and Pakistan against the Israel and the West. That is a formidable axis against capitalism and freedom. It is driven by the realpolitik of the need for oil coupled with the latent anti-Semitism found in most of the world. Israel is seen as a thorn in the side of 'peace' whose elimination would assure tranquility in the ME. The US is seen as weakened and no longer deserving of the mantle of world leadership. That this is false troubles none of these countries. Islamofascism will not stop with the elimination of Israel. Envy and enmity towards the US - long latent in the community of nations - combines with the perfect storm seen brewing among these nations which in their hopes will bring down Israel and the US. The aspiring superpowers of China and Russia, ready to fight for the crown of supremacy, wait for their day in the sun, knowing it can only happen if the US and Israel are vanquished. Time to recapture the West's leadership. Are we up to the task?
6. EXPECTED REACTION
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (11.16.07)
It was expected of USA to react the way it has.However, it has been a fairly decisive diplomatic victory for Iran.There is a likelihood of USA bringing about another subject altogether to undermine Iran's role in Iraq............like still adamantly insisting on Iranians providing sophisticated weapons to the insurgents in Iraq...........or once again looking for far fetched excuses of keeping the subject alive.Once again,USA will have a lot of rectification to do i9n its foreign policy however strong a country it may be.Else,little reputation in Middle East will be lost for a long long time.
7.  Most people, including those well paid
(11.16.07)
members of IAEA, know that the persians are not transparent with their nuclear plans. Israel and the US must keep its eye on this particular ball and not let it stray for one second. Europe, apart from Sarkozy is lethargic on this matter.
8. Oh come now, he must be telling the truth

13. LETS TURN BACK TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
robert ,   farmington,wv   (11.16.07)
WELL WHAT MADE ISRAEL THINK THAT THE WORLD WAS GOING TO STOP IRAN,ISRAEL IS SUFFERING FROM DELUSION. ISRAEL DO ME A FAVOR TAP YOUR HEELS TOGETHER THREE TIMES AND SAY WE HAVE NO FRIENDS, THE ONLY TIME YOU HAVE FRIENDS IS WHEN THEY WANT SOMETHING FROM YOU, JUST DO IT ATTACK IRAN GET IT OVER WITH AND GIVE THE WORLD A REASON TO HATE YOU, THEY HATE YOU RIGHT NO FOR NO REASON,"MAY THE LORD FOREVER BLESS THE STATE OF ISRAEL"
14. IAEA Can Now Concentrate On Israel's Nuclear Weapons Program
Lev Bronstein ,   Moscow, Russia   (11.16.07)
Finally the IAEA can turn its attention to forcing Israel to sign the NPT, halt its own enrichment of weapons grade plutonium, allow IAEA inspections and hand over its own nuclear weapons to the IAEA for destruction.
15. 3 Chan the man, its not possible in my opinion
freedom ,   canada   (11.16.07)
to become a minority citizen in a palestinian state. You can not deny the facts of the Christian repression in the west bank by the PA and associated groups. Get your head out of the sand and join the real world. If Gaza is what we are too see as a model for a future peaceful palestinian state, then your logic is very twisted. Have a nice day.
16. 6 True Expected bias report from the UN>
freedom ,   canada   (11.16.07)
They glossed over the MOST important FACT. Iran is STILL ENRICHING URANIUM. Now Mahmood go back to the drawing board and tell me how your argument makes any sense, period. Have a very nice day.
17. He has a point...
Christoph ,   Germany   (11.17.07)
We should be sorry for not bombing the crap out of him already.
18. Iran wants an apology
lydia daye ,   Brisbane   (11.17.07)
Why all the hoopla about Iran? the jews have among other sophisticated weaponary Nukes, thanks to the US. Iran is well within its rights and moral obligation as an equal member of the NPT (which coincedentally Israel isn't). Might not like it , but will defend his rights to it. We can't stop Ahmadinejad! We can't bomb the c*** out of him because he will just bomb back, and as long as we continue to antagonise him, he will be even less likely to end the quagmire in Iraq. We elect leaders with the mind spand of a newt who are only interested in greed and self glorification yet we wish to engage in an intellectual tug of war with learned men whose glory is self sacrifice, piety and humility. I can live with Iran's Nukes easier than I can stomach Israel and it's treatment of Palestinian women and children.
19. If it looks like a monkey, and grunts like a monkey
Johnson ,   USA   (11.17.07)
It’s Ahmadinejad. Nothing will ever quell the bloodthirsty jihad of the radical believers of Islam. Our destruction, and complete subservience is their ultimate goal, it their mandate from god. Radical Islam will for all time oppose the west because they are afraid our values and way of life. America's very framework runs contrary to radical Islam's rotten core. Tribute and treaties never work radicals and terrorist, are only temporary, and only gives them time to re-build and re-arm to continue their jihad. You cannot play with a scorpion, and expect not to get stung. It is simply their nature. Best thing to do is to just step on them.
20. Talk about begging for a sword-stroke.
Cameron ,   USA   (11.17.07)
21. China-Iran Love Affair
Lew ,   Siloam   (11.17.07)
While the Iranian nudnik runs his nasty little mouth consumers in the United States continue to buy all manner of merchandise "Made In China". Americans and consumers around the globe are fueling the little twerps motor-mouth by spending their money on Iran loving China's toxic junk goods. The U.S. should certainly let China know where it's bread is buttered with import duties until the Iran and N. Korea problems are corrected.
22. The Iran Problem
Jakov   (11.17.07)
It's not what the Farsi arre saying-it's what they're NOT saying and doing that count. And according to the article, even what they are providing is less & less. The US & allies will need to do whatever they can to bring the Farsi in line. I'm glad that Ynet printed this at the same time that there's an article mentioning that Russia is providing more material to Iran. People and those in public office need to know just how underhandd the whole situation is. That the UN is still trying and trying to negotiate with Iran shows just what little resolve there is to deal with this problem forcefully and effectively. So if it's not the UN, then it's either the world's remaining superpower or Israel that must deal with it. I suspect that the reason why nothing has been done yet is due to the presence of Russian advisers at the Iranian sites. A strike on the sites would cause relations with Russia to take a nosedive and put whatever country that takes action in deep sh**. It would get really ugly-there's no other to say it.
23. Jellybean great!!
Petra ,   usa   (11.17.07)
Altho' unmarried, I think he'd LIKE it!
24. What a putz, go to hell loser!
Petra ,   usa   (11.17.07)
Israel has nothing to apologise for, on the contrary, it is the savages rejected by all of the arabs states called the 'Pals' that must apologise for 60 years of insanity towards Israel, beginning with Saudi Arabia.
25. The IAEA is unfair. They do not criticize Russia or the USA
Rivkah   (11.17.07)
for being in violation of the nuclear weapons treaties. When is the last time the IAEA toured the tunnels in the Ural Mountains of Russia to count the mobile ICBM's with multiple warhead nuclear weapons on railroad tracks? Or the same under airplane hangers in Naval Air Stations across America that are not listed on FEMA's 120 most likely cities to be nuked in a war with Russia or China? Let the Iranians have some nuclear weapons so there will be an excuse to blow every city in Iran off the map along with every other Moslem city on earth. That will end the Moslem problem after the Moslems are rounded up in camps and guillotined unless they convert to Christianity or Judaism.
26. ENRICHING THE URANIUM........#16
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (11.17.07)
Looking at it closely,the issue of enrichment was an issue which USA wanted Iran to stop as a PRECONDITION.Technically, NPT members are under no obligation to do that .The allegation was that Iran is persuing nuclear weapons..........now that IAEA has given a clear bill of finding,the previous allegations by USA holds no ground at all. It is in this respect that you will observe USA now looking for yet another excuse to build up pressure on Iran.Well, since our talk-back began,China has clearly withdrawn from the scheduled meeting........I hope you read.This will be followed by Russia,probably.You never know! The crux of the matter is that USA is desperately trying to get the momentum to impose further sanctions on Iran but there are few indications of the same being successful.You must remember that if unilateral sanctions are imposed,Iran will,rightfully,excercise its right to limit is co-operation with IAEA.You cant have one way traffic and further more...........Iran is not Iraq......better take that seriously.
27. The west should appoligize.....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (11.17.07)
for not bombing Iran's nuke facilities into the stone age.
28. B-52's at 30,000 feet!
Claudia ,   Tampa USA   (11.17.07)
Today Stealth bombers should be the answer to this arrogant puppet of Islam.
29. STEALTH....THE ANSWER??.....#28
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (11.17.07)
Hardly,Claudia.........................your puppets in Washington will apprise you more.That is why they have not dared it.
30. Who is the Winner.
Ibrahim ,   Egypt   (11.17.07)
Please I need No All this are just Sentimental Nonsense...but the real problem is the United States and Israel must accept their diplomatic defeat....It had the direct effect of strengthening the Islamic Republic of Iran....so the Iran diplomatic was the only winner....Iranians play a chess game with the international community especially USA , Israel and they have a checkmate job.....and that is exactly happened.....and USA are still discovering the mysterious deep ocean in Iraq and Afghanistan without Oxygen supply....
