1. Any more doubts about this regime!
Jewish Refugee   (05.22.09)
The Ahmadinehad said it before Obama, he is saying after Obama has been trying to approach Iran. Nothing had changed, no sanctions will work. No diplomacy will work. They will only get bolder. Only concrete and consistent actions would deter suicidal regimes like Iran. For more about Suicide Iran please visit: http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/03/must-watch-video.html
2. THERE IS NO CONCRETE AND CONSISTENT......#1
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.22.09)
Way to deal with Iran.The Iraqi nostalgia has kept you people too much optimistic about one raid and closing the matter.Not with Iran.The Iranian response will make you forget many things for a long time.
3. ja!
tom ,   bsas,argentina   (05.23.09)
mahmood and you will see the tiny Iran go down to IAF and Israel MIGHT. Hitler in Iran may scare the europeans, but not Israel nor US. LONG LIVE ISRAEL
4. I Do Hope He's Like A Dog Himself
Frankie Littlehammer ,   New Herstal, TX, US   (05.23.09)
I do hope Mr Ahmadinejad is like a dog himself, for as they say, barking dogs don't bite. And did his supporters realy shout 'Death to the Zionists'? I think it's more likely they said 'Jews.'
5. To: No. 2
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (05.23.09)
You are right. There is no concrete or consistent way to deal with Iran. We need to make the problem -- Iran -- go away. The following is a news item from the Stratfor Intelligencer: "The Pentagon has updated its plans for the use of military force against Iran, Deutsche Presse Agentur reported May 22, citing a statement from U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Gates said the update occurred at U.S. President Barack Obama’s request. The United States has not ruled out the possibility of using military force if diplomacy does not resolve the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program, Gates said." Looks like America now wants the Iranian problem to go away, too.
6. Dire Warning!!!
John ,   Boise, Idaho, USA   (05.23.09)
Gosh, the Mad Ninja is on the loose again. Time for the world to be scared. We better hurry up and negotiate while there is still a chance. Otherwise he may lose his "role in directing the future of the world" and we certainly don't want him to lose this golden opportunity.
7. reality check... is Ahmadinejad telling
publius ,   USofA   (05.23.09)
the iranian people, do you know that an nuclear armed iran exposes their country to the policy of MAD, and its not just a USA policy, it is every nuclear powers policy. so, do a reality check, and yes I get it Iranian people see many completing interests lined up against an Islamic Republic based on Religion, yes I get it, Iranian culture sees the virtues of Religion as having an active role in govt., however this is the only thing that matters, can you honestly say that in many ways, the theoracy is sometimes its own worst enemy and brings on many of the problems Iran faces with outside world, now does having nuclear weapons make for a safer Iran or a doomed Iran if these troublesome outward policies of Iran govt. remain active. I am no dog, I am not in retreat nor on the offensive... it is just a logical question any iranian that claims to see him or her self as part of a world community Ahmadinejad is claiming is Iran's destiny, the 'one of the world's premere capitals' identities Iranians embrace. Vote for a future, a change just like we did here in the States, the alturnative seems bleak, it is simple we just don't trust a govt that has giveen ample evidence that it would add nukes to the Terrorism equation. nothing is going to change that belief except time and action. What the middle east needs sorely is a window of peace and nukes do not enable that future, in a way there is no surer way to advance the Iranian peoples desire to fully grap claim to title of a World's Capital than to put the nuclear program to a full and honest vote, and vote no on nuclear development.
8. Oh MAHMOODY
Yaron ,   USA   (05.23.09)
Still at it are you? When will you learn that the monkeys sheiks in Iran will burn in hell when the day of reckoning comes but YOU still have not answered the question of how can the Persians win a war against Israel and/or USA when it took them 10 years to fight to a draw with Saddam's thugs? My sense is that you know the truth already and are so full of sh*t that you've convinced yourself!
9. Lots of pomp and braggadocio from the Monkey of Iran
Shock the Monkey ,   of Iran   (05.23.09)
I expect the teleprompter placed in front of the crowd has subtitles that translate from simian to Farsi?
10. Evil Foreboding of the Prophets
Keep the aMahdi from ,   the red button   (05.23.09)
"We have to build an Iran that will have a role in directing the future of the world," Either way you look at it, I cannot dispel the scary feeling that that statement seems to have a mushroom cloud attached to it.
11. #2 Mahmood
Tamir ,   Los Angeles   (05.23.09)
I have read many of your talkbacks and I am begginning to think that you are drunk whenever you write them. It reminds me of a depressed college droupout trying to come up with a deep intellectual thought at 4 in the morning after he has been pounding tequila shots for 4 hours. Honestly not only is your vitriol completely irrelevant and untruthful but frankly its also non-sensical. You rant and rave about the power of Iran and spew threats about Israel just like the rest of your cowardly imams and so called "leaders" who hide in bunkers. Maybe your people will one day use all of that pent up anger and hostility towards something useful like possibly focusing on treating the sick and showing compassion towards others. Then again, that's not in your nature.
12. dogs
g ,   los angeles   (05.23.09)
pitbulls and bulldogs don't back down. they go straight for your throat. once they've clamped on your throat, they don't let go even if you stab them with a sword. in the end, you're dead.
13. #2 - Who has told you an attack on Iran would be easy?
Doron ,   Israel   (05.23.09)
Since you live in the UK and are obviously not Israeli, I doubt you know much about Israel's military history. I don't understand why we should try so hard to avoid an all out war with Iran. They are the world's biggest sponsor of terrorism. If we weaken Iran, we weaken global Islamic terrorism for sure. It is in big, conventional wars we have triumphed in the past, whereas low-intensity terrorism and propaganda is what have caused the most damage to Israel. If Iran retaliates from an Israeli attack, Iran will go for as much blood shed as possible, whereas Israel will go for as many strategic targets as possible. Our army is tired of policing Palestinians. That's not what we were originally trained for. If we must fight, this is the combat conditions we have been dreaming about since the six day war. You'll see.
14. President Ahmadinejad Has NO Respect.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (05.23.09)
President Ahmadinejad said :"We have to build an Iran that will have a role in directing the future of the world." President Ahmadinejad SHOULD know that directing the future of the world is NOT in his hands. President Ahmadinejad SHOULD know that the future of the world is being directed by the Highest Being. So, President Ahmadinejad should tone down his rhetoric (which at times sounds ridiculous), direct his complete attention on building the economy of Iran (instead of diverting his attention to promote terrorism through Hezbollah, Hamas et al), and start to recognize the authority of the Highest Being. President Ahmadinejad quoted :” "They (i.e. the enemies) are like dogs.” President Ahmadinejad considers the West, Israel and the reformists of his own country as his enemies -- which are labelled as dogs by him. SO, the West, Israel and the reformists of Iran are like dogs -- and President Ahmadinejad considers himself and his ilk as human beings. This shows that President Ahmadinejad (and his ilk) has NO respect AT ALL for (and looks down ON) the West, Israel and the reformists of Iran.
15. We have got to stop iran now!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (05.23.09)
Forget b.o.,he is part of the jihad. Forget his advisers,they are lapdogs and will be good dhimimis. iran has to be hit and it's nuke program stopped. It's army and missile bases destroyed with maximum loss of life. Perhaps the iranians can then be freed from this mad dog regime. The mullahs also have to be hit.
16. A dog is your best friend you moron.
Eric.. ,   Israel...   (05.23.09)
Ahmad always looks like he needs a bath,he looks dirty.
17. OH,YARON.............................#8
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.23.09)
However hard you try,the fact that you can't do anything and I mean anything is your frustration.Iran is a strong country.No more of past history anymore,ok?
18. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME,TAMIR.......#11
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.23.09)
By abusing me you will be able achieve nothing.Iran is ready for any eventuality and that is why your friends have confined to drills and rhetorics so far.Be on board to know more soon.I don't drink and am always sober.Thanks for reading my talk-back on regular basis.Please continue to read them.
19. YES,DORON..........................#13
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.23.09)
Have taken into account your comments.Since nothing has happened make sure you be on board to witness what the retaliation will be like,yah?
20. dogs?
Lisa   (05.23.09)
there are nice dogs, working dogs, purebred dogs- and there are mongrels- Mr. president! Let me guess where you fit?
21. animals
Ilana   (05.23.09)
I treat my dog better than he treats his own nation. My dog is kind, loyal,loving, helpful,thankful,strong,healthy,supportive and psychologically very well. If he considers himself human, I'd rather be a dog!
22. Ilana # 21
Erik ,   Praha   (05.23.09)
Ilana, your dog is kind, loving and supportive, but your treatment of the Palestinians is exact opposit. By the way haven't you heard your spiritual leader Ovadia Joseph called the Palestinian dogs and snakes?
23. Ahmadinejad the skunk
Not Jewish ,   USA   (05.23.09)
I actually prefer the company of my dogs over a lot of people and especially over skunks like Ahmadinejad.
24. #17 MAHMOODY
Yaron ,   USA   (05.23.09)
What a coicidence that 17 is my favorite number....anyway, Mahmood tell me how the Iranians are ready for any eventuality? Do you mean by deploying their proxies in Lebanon? Or do you mean by the fierce and brave fighting force that is the Iranian Armed Forces. Remember when they had to send children into the battlefield so the tanks can follow them in order not to be blown up by mines. In a real war Iran goes down hard....already been calculated and played out by the many strategic think tanks in Washington. Most importantly, will the monkey sheiks ACTUALLY sacrifice 90M people for their own perverted Islamo fascist fantasy? Even you don't believe the monkey sheiks are that crazy. NOW ANSWER MY QUESTION ABOUT IRAQ MY SMALL MINDED FRIEND.
25. Dogs are wonderful and sublime friends
Sheine   (05.23.09)
They love unconditionally, are loyal, somewhat naive, and still hope for the best from people in spite of evidence to the contrary. Much like Jews... So, I guess we are a bit like dogs... But if so, we can be very proud and happy about this.
26. Ahmadinejad,Imadinnerjacket
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (05.23.09)
I mad-jihad is BARKING mad.And I am DOG GONE tried of listening to his incessant barking.Talking about dogs ,does anybody know the difference between a Rottweiler,a Pit-bull and a Jewish Mother?? ... the difference is the Rottweiler and the Pitbull eventually let go.
27. ENEMIES ARE LIKE DOGS
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (05.23.09)
Well,that's obviously a BONE of contention.
28. DONT TAKE IRAN FOR GRANTED
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.23.09)
It is well prepared,has full support in the area and will unleash one of the most violent retaliation to those who choose to attack it.Get that message clearly and get it good.
29. appealing to the uneducated masses
Ari   (05.23.09)
in typical fascist fashion, instead of trying to improve the living standards and quality of life of iranians, mahmoud believes that by building a nuclear weapons he can make iranians feel as though they are 'as good' as other countries. this is the same mindset that launches wars for national pride, and that feels that they must constantly attack outsiders in order to deflect attention from problems at home. israel did not build nuclear weapons in order to 'prove itself' to the world. it built nuclear weapons to protect itself from regimes like this. iran - educate your people. improve your economy. improve your standards of living. strive to be a peace loving member of the human family. that will be a real 'achievement'.
30. To number 22
Anti-Anti jew ,   The Land of Nod   (05.23.09)
Clearly, you will need to educate yourself before posting wrong info. israel is treating the palestinians better than how black ppl are treated in USA. They give them water,electricity,and the abillity to be israeli citizens. But they chose to fire rockets.....
