2. good article
Septimus ,   Rome   (10.29.08)
Perfectly said ! Don't appaease, don't negotiate with teh fake Tehran regime. The only way to quash the Shiite entity is to take out their nuclear sites.There are no substitute to a armed strike against that terrible country.
3. Stop meddeling into other folks business!
IRAN#1   (10.29.08)
The relations between Iran and the USA is their mutual concern and is none of the zionists business. Stick to your own 40+ year problems, you don't need another one.
4. i like this black guy
Jalal ,   Gaza   (10.29.08)

5. . Iran's president, vocally denies the Nazi ...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (10.29.08)
Iran's president vocally denies the Nazi genocide against the Jews. Throwing an economic lifeline to a terror-sponsoring regime dedicated to the acquisition of nuclear weapons capability would be nothing short of diplomatic malpractice on a Carter-esque scale. Not only has the Islamic Republic squandered billions on nuclear weapons, destabilizing Iraq and Afghanistan, and sponsoring terrorism, but it has also pitched itself to countries like Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Sudan and Senegal as a pillar of an ideology that will defeat liberal Western democracy. Nothing would be a more powerful signal to those applauding Ahmadinejad's rhetoric than watching the Islamic Republic collapse under the weight of its own follies. More about Iran at
6. # 3 Don't read Zionist papers
(10.29.08)
if Zionist opinions offend you.
7. #3
Yaron ,   USA   (10.29.08)
I think you left off a couple of zeroes. Iran is the most backward, lying, and damaging regime to oppress the good people of Persia. You have a wealth of oil and resources yet people are struggling to get by....why is that? It would serve you well to overthrow this fanatical regime before you are inhaling the smoke from a US/Israeli nuke bomb.
8. ON THE DOT - AS ALWAYS
joey   (10.29.08)
I have read all of Mr. Falk's opinions, and I find them very accurate, clear, and realistic. Simply a damn good writer.

10. Think again vote McCain

Appeasment does not work Mr Obama. tell that to 35million dead europeans
11. #3 Stop threatening Israel!
Cynthia ,   USA   (10.29.08)
When your mentally ill President threatened to destroy Israel, he brought microscopic attention upon Iran. We clearly see how your country operates in a state of chaos and corruption. How opposition is silenced and how poorly your fellow Muslims are treated. Iran is a pariah state that supports terrorists inside and out. Do not appease Iran. Continue to sanction and isolate Iran. This isolation process is bearing fruit.
12. Ahmadinejad and Hussain Obama
Roy Davies ,   DC   (10.29.08)
sitting in a tree.... funny thing is, this aint gona be a joke in too long
13. I can understand why you might think this
Steve G ,   Kew Gardens,NYC   (10.30.08)
Don't be fooled into thinking that as present Obama would be a complete fool and idiot. There is little chance he will be as ineffective against Iran as George Bush has been. You have been conditioned by watching 8 years of George Bush. American presidents aren't usually morons. Obama is not a fool. He is Israel's ally (and knows how to pronounce the word 'nuclear') Plus he's almost certain be elected on Tuesday.
14. I hope 13 is right and that Obama isn't another Carter
Sharon ,   Israel   (10.30.08)
15. #13, Obama Not a Fool...
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (10.30.08)
No... Obama is smart like a fox. He has pulled the wool over your and, sadly, most Jews' eyes. His pronouncements of friendship with Israel will last only until he wins the election. #14, don't fear...Obama IS Carter II. Likely worse. Obama is cunning. Carter was simply an oaf. #13 and others have imbibed the Liberal KoolAid. The Los Angeles Times, a paragon of the US mainstream media is spiking the incriminating tape they have showing Obama in the presence of Israel haters Khalidi, Ayers, Dohrn, Said having a banquet of anti-Israel invective. It would doom Obama but the people will never know. You fools who think Obama will be a friend of Israel and a viable counter to a nuclear Iran are indeed either deluded or evil-minded. It doesn't matter how well Obama pronounces "nuclear." It matters how well he understands nuclear. Just an example of the superficialities in which the Obama morons indulge.
16. Obama and Iran
rina   (10.30.08)
Just watch what the US elections will bring: the prince of Meshech and Tuval (Obama in code) together with Persia (Iran) against Israel (any wonder why Obama is playing down the Iranian threat of Iran?). We need to walk closely to Dvar Elohim to draw strength to endure the battles ahead. So doing we'll also see that the war is already won.
17. If appeasement doesn't work, try assassination.
marlene ,   Philadelphia, USA   (10.30.08)
"Don't appease iran"? Too late now. What part of "I will nuclearize Israel and America" doesn't anybody understand? This psycho has been riding the waves of appeasement for years and is just about ready to reach his nuclear shores. The only other choice the world had was to kill him, but nobody has the kahunas.
18. HE WILL CHAMPION NOT APPEASE
Dan ,   USA   (10.31.08)
Obama surrounds himself with anti Jewish leaders from all facits of American life. And despit this known fact, Jewish liberals in the U.S. will do their best to vote him in. Obama in turn, once he is the president, will pay them back with the back of his hand by treating Jews as second class citizens and Israel as the enemy of peace. He will not appease Iran for that would suggest he doesn't really believe Iran will do anything to Israel. He will actually champion Iran and other Islamic countries at the expense of Israel. That is the difference.
