Most Europeans and Americans are not keenly aware that Iran is on track to having the ability to threaten Kuwait City, Riyadh, Dubai, Istanbul, Athens, Rome, Berlin, Paris, London, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles with nuclear weapons. They are oblivious to the ultimate aim of the Iranian nuclear weapons program: to transform Iran into the dominant global superpower by enabling its regime to attain hegemonic control of the petroleum production of all of the Gulf region’s oil states, while preventing the West from taking military action against Iran by deploying missiles that can obliterate Western cities. Instead, Americans and Europeans are under the impression that the program’s main goal is “only” the destruction of Israel… More about a nuclear Iran (3 parts) at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/11/can-nuclear-iran-be-contained-or_2816.html

- It is an outpost of and possible military base for Iran’s primary enemy, the US, in the Middle East. - Israel is one of the few issues guaranteed to unite all Muslims, and championing its destruction allows Iran to obtain influence even with Sunnis, such as Hamas. -Israel sits in the most strategic spot in the Eastern Mediterranean, an area in which Iran wishes to project its power. - Ahmadinejad may have religious reasons for wanting to eliminate Israel.

I give him 4 years, then we will need another Regan to sort all the mess that he leaves

Oh the stupidity of a muslim president! All he now has to do is kiss iran's butt so that iran can make even more demands. A country full of hatred who vows, promises and swears to destroy US - NO MATTER WHAT - will not suddenly stop because of our words. They will be appeased, emboldened, legitimized and continue their jihad, as lethal as ever. Goodbye U.S. of allah!

We've put a smiling, charming, Chicago Machine hustler in the White House to everyone's coming regret. I spent many a year in Chi-town, and know the breed well. The Obama thrash-around efforts of the last no. of weeks are but a taste of the "idealistic" mess the next few years are going to be. I remember the grim Carter years all too well, and it appears we're all going to have to march through another half-assed repeat. You made the right call, #33.

other people stupid? Do you think that your statement about Obama being "the king of BS" has revealed some sort of genius insight on your part? Well, I've got news for you: ALL POLITICIANS BS the public. You're not any more endowed with special BS radar than any other American voter. At least the guy is trying a different strategy to engage a hostile regime without the bellicose, impulsive style of his predecessor George Bush. In Iraq, General Petreus proved that engaging in dialogue goes a long way toward reconciling differences. Iraq is a lot calmer now as a result of his hard work using dialogue, not bombs, to engage the enemy. The Muslims as a whole are very sensitive to issues of respect and dignity. I am confident that President Obama knows that understanding how the enemy thinks is a key factor in determining a positive outcome in US/Iranian relations. Next time, you should consider voting with your brain, not your BS-o-meter.

You want Bibi to"get rid of Iran" so that you can continue to steal wealth that belongs to the people? You are such an idiot and as we expect from submissive Arabs like yourself: Coward. You cant handle Iran so you hide behind Israel's skirt? Well guess what? Niether you nor Israel, not even in a million years if you survive that long will be able to touch Iran. Iran is a super [power and you two allies better get used to the idea. Go ride your camel idiot.

If Obama is screwing up the world, what do you call what Bush did? Oh but that's right, you probably supported that moron. Obama is stuck fixing the mistakes of the ultimate dumbass, G W Bush. To call Obama a moron is laughable if you think Bush was a smart guy. The US will do better with a-holes like you. Go join your racist buddies in Israel. You and your hate will fit right in!

what ignorance in your words! You have no proof to back you your claims. You just read an e-mail and believed it. How easily you are fooled! Obama is Christian. If he were really a muslim, but denied it, that is the one of the worst sins they can commit. And if he was a muslim, why do all the muslim countries still hate him and say he is no different than Bush? If we was truely a muslim, i think we would take completely different road with Iran and Israel. By reaching out an trying to calm tensions to avoid war, is not legimatizing the regime, it is doing the sensible thing. What is your suggestion? Just bomb them? GW Bush proved that war doesn't fix problems with the arabs and muslims, it acutally just makes things worse. If further inflames the hatred and distrust. We need to take a firm line with Iran, but hollow threats get us no where. Let the muslim president thing go, nothing could be farther from the truth. But it is clear you are not interested in the truth...just the right wing, war mongering, israel supporting propoganda machine. Good luck with that honey! Lets see how far it gets you.

what a great response! I wish there were more enlightened individuals like yourselft posting here. It is a refreshing change of pace from the hatred and ignorance normally being posted. I hope to see you around more often!

and engaging in honest debate as much as possible. See you around Ynet!

The truth will eventually out! Soon we will have Pres. Joe Biden! Hahahaha!

is BARRY SOETORO! BARRY is going to BURY the USA in so much debt, it will never recover! It is a mathmatical certainty! Bye, bye, US dollar!

nobama is the end of real america. obama is a dumb loser already. muslim or not he is still a disgrace.

who attended all the "peace" conferences that underminded our war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Harvard U. proved that the "peace protests" harmed our troops in Iraq. It imboldened the enemy to fight on. I have family and friends you imperiled. Now you want respect for the prez. of your choice? Ha! Fat chance of that happening, bub! Protest is patriotic! Remember?
