61. Israel
heatman526 ,   indpls,indiana   (05.29.09)
all i can say is "Dont Mess With ISRAEL"
62. #50, Semsem: Since when has the U.S. not having money ...
Stewart ,   U.S.A.   (05.29.09)
ever stopped us from going to war? Only a complete idiot like Obama could do that. Just keep the printing presses rolling and let our kids pay for it. Besides, we have so much ordinance lying around just itching to be used. Kim Jong Ill just never had a cruise missle shot up his petute. Just let him touch one of our ships or our allies ships. If Bush or Regan were still around you'd hear, "Bring it on," just about now. With Obama all you are going to hear is, "Let's talk about it."
63. North Korean Diversion
Rodney Dezarn ,   Fayetteville, USA   (05.29.09)
The North Korean fireworks display is nothing more than a diversionary tactic. While the focus is on Asia, Iran and Russia have moved their naval forces in close proximity to U.S. and Israeli targets. This stealthy accomplishment has purpose. Russia now in the Omani and Bahrain port in the Persian Gulf opposite the Buescher Nuclear facitlity. Iran in the Gulf of Aden with several warships in the Red Sea corridor. These forces are positioned to prevent an Israeli strike on Iranian soil. The United States presence in the Persian Gulf is diminished with no Aircraft carrier in the vicinity. Russia and Iran could quickly change from protective posturing into offensive operations, a dangerous scenario presented to Israel and the U.S., War appears imminent.
64. WW3 Has Started
Brian ,   Barrie, Canada   (05.29.09)
I think you got your "crazy" states and "moderate" countries reversed. Please check your history records. Decades back as well as recently
65. 47 cont'd.: The Catholics are a lot like the Muslims, though
Rivkah   (05.29.09)
They give a nonCatholic spouse a chance to convert before taking any non-reversible actions. Look how unhappy Edwin Schlossberg and Caroline Kennedy are: she turned to a lover and that nearly ended their marriage outwardly. It has been over for a long time according to articles on them. One thing is for sure: don't let a church know if they are in your last will and testament and expect to live a long time. I have seen Jewish-Catholic marriages last, but the incompatibilities are almost insurmountable and the children don't know who or what they are. One such couple (Rich and Alice Rich) celebrated the holidays of both religions which confused the children. Life is hard enough without religious incompatibility complicating things.
66. what about Israeli Nukes
Izirbat ,   Houston, TX   (05.29.09)
How about getting rid of all the Nukes in the ME. Isreal has become a joke in the world.
67. #66, yeah because unlike the Arabs and Iranians
Danny   (05.29.09)
Israel has never used WMDs on other people.
68. Actually it's world war IV
Commentary Reader ,   USA   (05.29.09)
but who's counting?
69. Think Peace Not War!
ConcordeSST ,   Monte Carlo Monaco   (05.29.09)
PM Netanyahu please think PEACE! Iran has NO nuclear weapons for the time being. The UN inspectors said it. Leave it all to the UN to detangle! That's what they are there for.
70. Most twisted logic
Hertzel ,   Tiberias   (05.29.09)
This man has the very most twisted logic I ever witnesed in my 57 years!@ What he is saying is that if Israel would give in big times to these forces he calls crazies, by dismanteling more of our land, than all will be well, NK will stop it's nuke bomb productions and Iran will just kiss and love us to death...what an idiot !
71. To: No 57
Paul ,   London, UK   (05.29.09)
Sarah, just what grand qualifications did GWB have? Given companies by his dad and ran them into the ground? Joined the National Guard to avoid service in Viet Nam? Went AWOL from NG to work on a political campaign?
72. To: No. 9, you are either blinded or ignorant
Evan Freedman ,   Bronx   (05.29.09)
Please look as to why North Korea performed the nuclear test. It was due to the fact that US and the West flip-flopping on the agreements they made. Also note that North Korea has not launched a nuclear warhead, now have they. What they have done is no different than Israel which is develop, test and validate functionality. With respect to Israel, by definition, it is an apartheid state (need I say more). As far as how peace loving Israel is, please look into the facts as to why the war in Gaza happened. According to all counts (including Israel), after Hamas came in power and a ceasefire was signed, rocket attacks had dropped by as much as 90%. As far as Iran is concerned, note that Ahmadinejad never said Israel should be wiped off the face of the map but the following: "this regime must be wiped off the pages of time." The reference was not to the country or the citizens but to the regime. Be objective and look at Israeli crimes: 1. Imprisonment of children as young as 5 or 6 2. Illegal occupation and expropriation of its Arab citizens properties 3. Unprovoked killings 4. Involvement in Bombay killings 5. Lobby groups forcing US to go to war in Iraq with lies about WMD I believe a state in the region besides Israel possessing nukes would be beneficial for the peace (just to level the playing field) DISCLAIMER: I am not an Iranian supporter and I have serious issues with Ahmedinejad's rule and clergy rules.
73. 67... WRONG!
Wanda ,   Montreal   (05.29.09)
- bombing the osirik reactor created an incredible amount of fallout... - white phosphorus indiscriminately killed children in Gaza - cluster bombs in Lebanon are still blowing limbs off - lethal doses of xrays on sephardim children in the now highly documented experiments of the 60s these all seem to be fairly accessible examples of israeli wanton use of WMD measures
74. Eitan Haber--WWIII Has Started
Elisabeth ,   Clarksville, TN, USA   (05.29.09)
Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah--Revelation. I pray daily for the peace of Jerusalem and for the soon return of Jesus the Christ. Not ALL Americans want Israel to retreat--many of us support your right to the land G*d gave you--don't give up!
75. #58 Mike S. You have it ALL WRONG!
David P. ,   Capitola, CA   (05.29.09)
The backwards theories that permeate in the bowls of leftist propaganda cannot be applied in the REAL WORLD! If you had any 'applied experience' you'd swiftly learn that your analysis is rooted in unbridled racism & prejudice against Jews.
76. Nuke, Shmuke
chuckyinMD ,   Olney, MD USA   (05.29.09)
All this whining about nukes...not very bright. Deterrence is good. Deterrence works. Israel has nukes. Soon everyone will have nukes. Only one thing is certain. If anyone is dumb enough to use one on U.S. or Israel, they will be obliterated. Better yet, they know it. It will never happen, regardless how crazy you seem to think Iran may be, or N Korea may be. So shut up and take a hard look at why the entire ME hates the Zionist morons that manage that little crap hole called Israel. Only then will we come up with some sensible solutions.
77. This article demands American blood!
Mike ,   Vancouver, USA   (05.29.09)
This article is a demand for more American blood to be spilled for the bastard nation of Israel! Who gives a shit if Iran has the bomb? Israel does that's who. America, WAKE UP! Israel and big oil have already taken thousands of your sons and daughters for their own petty agenda don't let this bullshit allow more of it.
78. To: No. 71
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (05.29.09)
I didn't say I was big fan of former President Bush. Besides, he is old news. The fact of the matter is that the CURRENT sitting president has fewer qualifications than Warren G. Harding. And he is not surrounding himself with very clever and smart people, he is surrounding himself with cronies to hell him what he wants to hear. Given the precarious state of affairs in so many areas of the world, Obama is not the man for the job at this time.
79. wake up Obama
davis ,   Media Pa US   (05.29.09)
I think the president was blind about the view of the world in reference to EVIL vs GOOD. I believe he is not insane either, he will adjust soon after he realises the truth. There is definate evil with a purpose to destroy those who live in peace. They mock any progress made to encourage democracy, and they only see the mistakes or failures of it. They fail to acknowledge the progressive features of democracy, and in their narrow viewed judgement of social relativity it is just their way or no way. That kind of ideology can not be met with reason, for reason holds no substance, for they will not bend to hear your view. The old saying goes, "Iron sharpens Iron," so let's meet them with the same thinking, that we shall not tolerate their bogus assertion that refuses to acknowledge the freedom of reason. I believe our president needs more prayers from us who criticize him so as to make the right decisions as his eyes are opened to reality.
80. Why should anybody obey the USA?
Chris ,   UK   (05.29.09)
The USA wants countries to do whatever they can to achieve peace, even if it means the annihilation of that country. If Iran isn't listening, and N Korea isn't listening, and China is arming up, why should Israel put its head on the chopping block?
81. Re; #80
Stu Logan ,   Farmington,NM USA   (05.29.09)
The USA is no longer a voice of wisdom, since they have forsaken the God who IS wisdom... I speak of it's populace and it's leaders. It's so sad.
82. #1
Knightarm ,   New York, NY   (05.29.09)
It's like this Jane: You don't accept me or my family in your neighborhood that is filled with lunatics. OK. I and my family accommodate you and leave to another neighborhood. You and your lunatic friends follow us and cause us problems there too. what do you think Knightarm the Defender will do at that point? Answer: I will make every effort to "neutralize" as many of you and your lunatics as possible. Get it? Now tell all your friends (especially the Hamas lunatics): End the hostilities toward Israel. The Jews are serious. The Jews mean it when they say "Don't XXX with us or you will regret it for a very long time!!"
83. North Korean DIVERSION
John ,   St. Louis USA   (05.29.09)
Since the North Koreans nuclear test last time came at a critical time when Iran was stalling for time---one should be looking closely at Iran NOW and not shift our focus completely to North Korea. North Korea's leader is a child who wants recognition and attention regardless of what it costs his people or their country. He also thrives on power and needs to feel secure in his control of the country. He has suffered from physical problems and a desparately impoverished country. He probably hears voices telling him his time is short and he wants to create some grand drama to appease his equally inflated ego. No doubt Iran and North Korea have formed a pact to share nuclear technology and materials for their respective gains. The payoff for the diversion by North Korea is Iranian assets and more funding by world governments to "buy" a freeze on nuclear proliferation by North Korea, yet making its leader look like a "Great Leader", when he really is a pathetic , self-absorbed stooge Regardless, the diversion has been played and the transfer of technology and materials are secretly being delivered to Iran..
84. To No 5
Scott ,   Greenville, SC   (05.30.09)
Wow. Just wow. I have never seen a more biased view of reality. I can guarantee you that if the violence stopped today Israel and it's people would stop. Any of their people that did not would be punished and jailed. On the other side there is nothing but the destruction of Israel, in totality. If you can't see the difference between surgical strikes and targeted warfare and bombs on school buses then you are a fool. I'm finished. The truth is not what you are interested in. I bet you believe that victims of rape or other violent crimes bring it all on themselves don't you? You blame the victim as much or more than the criminal, who you sympathize with for his lousy upbringing, or how little his mother hugged him. I bet if a man was forced to shoot a robber during a home invasion in his own bedroom, you would whine about the need for gun control, and how if he had not resisted everything would have been fine and dandy. Fool.
85. not everyone in the USA wants a NWO-
Fitzy ,   scranton, pa   (05.30.09)
the NWO is run the by the rich bankers in the USA/Europe -the lower classes of people are pawns to these bad people...the people of the USA are being slowly taken and forced in to submission under these tyrants...not everyone in the USA wants the NWO to happen...some people here in the usa will be labeled as terrorists saying what I'm about to say--- I'd rather DIE then see these globalist scum control everyone ....but it's true -they have taken our country over.... ~Fitzy in Pa.
86. Israel's crazy alright!
Eropean ,   Holland   (05.30.09)
The biggest part of the world's citizens considers israel as part of the ' crazies'. Most of you Israelis just seem so to be in denial of that.
87. Sorry Israel
Shepherd ,   Southeastern USA   (05.30.09)
The majority of Americans, real Americans should be sorry for having let our country fall into the hands of cowards, patsies, leftist/Marxist, appeasers. Unfortunately it has, and we are all the worse off for it. Especially Israel, for my part in this obaminable failure by not doing more to stop it. I am very sorry Israel.
88. Dave in Shilo
Dan Hinesman ,   GTE. Costa Rica   (05.30.09)
No . You real estate thieves need to crawl back within your 1967 cage. Zionist idiots. Chosen...self chosen.
89. Wake up...
Salomon Mizrahi ,   Sao Carlos/SP/Brazil   (05.31.09)
WW-III began in 1993, exactly when the twin towers where blown for the first time... It is a weird war, a different war with no line front and fuzzy enemy
90. to 77 #.....
Franklin ,   Paris   (05.31.09)
