1. 2 things puzzle me the most...
ghostq   (05.25.09)
1. is there hight requierement for being a communist leader! 2. total equality even in death, if one die everyone needs to die, that would explain the nukes fascination.
2. Wow, I should have been a journalist long ago.

3. IF THE POPE CAN"T INFLUENCE EVENTS IN LATIN AMERICA,HOW CAN
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (05.25.09)
4. Israel,be aware of Celso Amorin- foreign minister ofBrasil
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (05.25.09)
And be aware even about Lula.Lula is inteligent,malicious and does not let nobody know his true colours,but he is accepting Celso Amorin's policies who is working to tie Brasil with Israel's and world foes and has a clear policy against Israel. He is working on arab interests over even the interests of Brasil.He is supporting,just of example,Farouk Hosni an antisemitic egyptian to preside UNESCO while 2 excelent brazilian names are concurring too. This week Lula is going to meet chavez in order to talk about chavez 's dangerous inclusion in Mercosul...If it happens ,a disaster would be under way for the whole world since SAmerica is big and is becoming to be an important weight in the world political play...
5. a little too friendly?

7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR IRAN
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.25.09)
When the Texas hero heard of the opening of a bicycle factory in Venezuela,he said that Iran was building an Atomic plant for that country.If today Venezuela has uranium and wants to sale it to the Iranians,what is wrong in that.I thought you had plans to ensure the whole world stoprs selling uranium to Iran, but you missed on Venezuela at that time.If it is a commodity which brings in money,why not?Further,it is but obvious that military presence of Iran,although low-keyed,is very much there in several countries in the region.Why not,once again?It is YOU who have implicated Iran with exporting terrorism!!! Well,what would a country implicated with terrorirsm export.Of course the military assests of successful Hizbullah.The inroads into Latin America should be taken for granted by now.If it started in 1982,will a Foreign Minister's visit to these country solve a'problem' overnight which started 26 years ago?Human rights record? Wow!!! No harm giving it a try as we don't have anything concrete for the time being.
8. Hmmm interesting....
Debbie ,   Toronto   (05.25.09)
the way those two are looking longingly into each other eyes... very brokeback mountain. You don't 1000 words to describe this picture. The mad jihad should be careful on his return to Iran he could find himself at the end of a noose.

Intelligent...yes Malitios...no he is not a jew!
10. silly
Eric ,   Brazil   (05.26.09)
this silly propaganda is all over the net today, Iran has its own Uranium deposits, doesnt need any from S America -ridiculous desperation
11. That pic above is truly a weasel love moment
Cameron ,   USA   (05.26.09)
Ah yes, no shortage of poisonous figures roaming about in these "Hope & Change" times.
12. 200 billion dollar fund to buy friends
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.26.09)
It's my understanding Iran is using these funds to loan money to poor Latin American countries so they can do business with Iran. Like the mafia, Iran is buying friends and access to natural resources. At the same time, strangling the Iranian people with high inflation and unemployment.
13. 12$$billions the US gives Israel gets them no friends
lydia ,   Brisbane   (05.26.09)
Just a harbinger of wars and a Nuclear thug that torments the neighborhood.
14. human rights education
jon johnson ,   sydney, australia   (05.26.09)
warning south america of irans human rights violations would be hypocritical to the extreme. and in fact few countries on earth would be innocent of HRV. but if you live by the sword, be very careful.
15. Echoes of Nigerian yellow cake
michael mazur ,   brunswick australia   (05.26.09)
to Iraq, which as we all know was a complete fabrication. Which is why i don't really really believe the rest about Venezuelan and Bolivian yellow cake, as what you guys want to do is help start a incineration of Iran which will kill 28,000,000 innocent Iranians. Your figures. Do you seriously think that after the obliteration of Iran that you can stop it spinning out of control into global thermonuclear war ? I suspect that you Israelis are a bit naturally suicidal, but only if the rest of the world can be taken with you.
16. #15 Michael
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.26.09)
Perhaps you would take this more seriously, rather than consider it a lark, if you studied Iran more closely. Then you will realize Iran believes it is already at war with the West and Australia is part of the West. Israelis are not suicidal. Things would be different if Iran wasn't training and arming terrorists to attack Israel and threatening to wipe Israel off the map. The Iranian Regime will sacrifice Iran for power.

~Washington, 26 May (WashingtonTV)—Bolivia on Tuesday denied a report by Israel’s Foreign Ministry that it was supplying uranium to Iran for its nuclear program, saying that the country has never produced the element. (...) “There isn’t even a geological study (of uranium deposits), much less export” of uranium to another country, said Mining Minister Luis Alberto Echazu, according to the Associated Press.~ Cynthia, it would appear that someone is lying, either Israel or Bolivia. If it is Israel, then clearly they are looking to manufacture a pretext to go to war, for if the accusations you make about Iran were being believed by the world then Iran would have been nuked already by USrael, but as they are not being believed then Israel is looking to add another accusation in the hope that the sheer accumulated weight of accusations somehow translates into something the world must now believe. If it is Bolivia, perhaps a good sayanim can photocopy some shipping documents or a relevant geological study, and pass them on to your Mossad and we can see them in ynet ?
18. Legal Rights Must Be Observed
Ziggy ,   Sydney NSW Australia   (05.30.09)
So Venezuela is aiding Iran's nuclear program - so what? Both nations are signatories to the NPT and are REQUIRED to assist each other with nuclear technology and material including uranium, so there is nothing to complain about. The article claims that Venezuela is helping Iran circumvent UNSC economic sanctions - so what? Those sanctions are ILLEGAL. If Iran has a legal right to conduct nuclear activity under an international treaty, then any action to try and curtail or prevent that legal activity is itself illegal and should be ignored and that is exactly what Iran is doing. The article states that Chavez and Ahmedinjad have the goal of defying the USA. They are quite right in doing so, as the USA is trying to illegally coerce Iran into abandoning a perfectly legal activity and the CIA has had a hand in trying to depose Chavez twice. This is not the way the USA is going to make friends. So Venezuela issued permits for Iranians to travel freely - so what? I bet that many other nationalities can travel freely too. Why should Iranians be treated differently? This entire article is stupid, because it is trying to infer that all that activity between Iran and Venezuela is illegal, when there is nothing untoward in it at all.
