1. Nuclear Iran.
Jean Van Daem ,   Metula   (02.22.08)
Nuclearization of Iran must be discussed in the context of the Islamic Revolution, which was dubbed by Ayatollah Khomeini not merely as a domestic anti-Shah upheaval in Iran, but as a global Islamic movement designed to extricate Islam from its submissive torpor and launch it to prominence as a world power. In this pursuit, Iran has become one of Israel’s most vehement enemies, framing its grievances around religious doctrine and anti-Semitic invective, making conflict with the Jewish state all the more insoluble. Indeed, injecting these elements into an already difficult political situation makes finding solutions seemingly impossible due the absolute demands made by defenders of their faith who refuse to negotiate or compromise as described at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/nuclear-power-and-anti-semitism.html
2. It is already too late, but better late than never

ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (02.22.08)
HOW MUCH TALKING IS NECESSARY TO MAKE IRAN BACK-TRACK IN PRODUCING A NUCLEAR/BIOLOGICAL ROCKE HIZBOLA ENHANCED WAR SYSTEM TO REMOVE ISRAEL FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH.? CHURCHILL IN HIS DAY SAID "JAW JAW IS BETTER THAN WAR WAR," BUT FOR ISRAEL, TODAY,IT WILL BE BETTER TO ADOPT THE PRINCIPLE OF' WAR WAR".UNLESS THE NATIONS TO WHOM ISRAEL IS APPEALING ONLY PASS SANCTION RESOLUTION,ONE AFTER ANOTHER WITHOUT SUCCESS OF CAPABILITY.,I PREFER TO MEET MY FRIENDS IN THIS WORLD AND NOT THE NEXT .THIS MUST BE THE FINAL APPEAL TO THE U.N.BEFORE WE TOO MUST CONFRONT IRAN WITH A MILITARY STRIKE.IRAN MUST BE INFORMED OF WHAT ISRAEL'S MILITARY MIGHT IS CAPABLE OF DOING AS WORLD WAR III BEING ON THE BRINK IT IS ALL UP TO THEM TO STOP THIS CATASTROPHE!
5. Act against Iran
Millicent ,   Israel   (02.22.08)
The world better wake up fast and do something before Iran has the bomb,Remember it is only allowing the world to see what it wants the world to see, they have plenty of secret nuclear facilities as well. In this case the Iranian opposition that leaked a report yesterday that Iran is running a secret nuclear facility that is attempting to build a nuclear bomb may be telling the truth and should be taken at their word and investigated! Iran is dangerous, and it's calls for the destruction of Israel is what makes it so dangerous. If Israel falls so will the European, American and moderate Arab countries, because the Iranian's leadership teaches them to hate all non Muslims and anyone who is not a muslim doesn't deserve to live! So Unite World and do something before it is too Late!
6. Only preemptive military action will work.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (02.22.08)
Talks, negotiations, sanctions, & diplomacy are a waste of time - they provide an excuse for inaction. Nothing except military action will work - and if we have to go it alone, so be it & damn the consequences. And this means a change of gov't. because this gov't. of dithering inept politicians will do nothing - they are in a state of paralysis only concerned with their own political survival.
7. No to Iran's nuclear program.
Jean Van Daem ,   Metula   (02.22.08)
In order to put an end to Iran's nuclear program, the U.S.A. has to close the door to investment in the Iran oil sector, loans to the government from the World Bank and from corporations around the world. Only then, it will be possible to negotiate with strength. There is a rumor that the United States is already doing all it can [on Iran] – it is not true.The United States does’nt put sufficient economic pressure on Iran. In the economic area they have been very unwilling to take the steps that have to be taken. Iran is still collecting the physical material needed for nuclear weapons. Iran is on target to having nuclear weapons by the middle of the next decade. Iran using the development of civilian energy infrastructure to assist its nuclear program. If Iran will have the bomb, it will not hesitate to use its nuclear power against the West as explained at : :http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/nuclear-power-and-anti-semitism.html
8. olmerde prefers atomic mushroom over gush Dan

9. Olmert will do what Bush orders.
nero ,   nyc   (02.22.08)
Israel is the little puppet of Mr. Bush.
10. #6
alex ,   Arava   (02.22.08)
Thats wishful thinking isnt it? Who will carry out the military strike, the Israelis(dont make me laugh), the Americans (who are more stretched at the moment than a rubber band)or the british( lack of sufficient funds leaving what was once the best army in the world in a right mess). So who do you suggest? Even with a change of the government the army needs a short sharp shock into becoming a force to be reckoned with one again and how long is a piece of string? Talks and so on are not the answer terry, on this I agree with you, but a military strike............... you say damn the consequences..... are you sure you dont work for the government??
11. To all you Bush haters:
David Powell ,   Everett. Wa. USA   (02.22.08)
Your messiah is near at hand. Hello Hussein Obama
