1. POOR SOUL Ahmedinejad is CASTRATED

2. Unbelievable
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (05.28.09)
"We attacked the issue of the Holocaust and even they didn't believe such a thing occurred, because we attacked their main weak point." Lunatics belong in insane asylums --- although I suppose it can be said that "insane asylum" is a pretty fair description of Islamofascist Iran.

Ahmad, you are nuts, go take some Viagra to the skies.

Whenever Israel has a problem with a nation, state or organization, it ALWAYS moves to unilateral military action, almost unanimously, rather than diplomacy to relieve that problem. Israel obviously has a problem with Iran, for reasons other than justified and legal. Israel knows that if it attacks Iran, it will unbearably endure excruciatingly deep consequences, much more than what it endured under Hezbollah. And trust me, the whole world, incliuding Israel knows what a disaster that was. So, about the A-Bomb, it wouldnt be so smart to use it on a country like Iran. Israel itself knows of the huge ramifications that will result. That's why it's dragging the US into it, and that's why it hasnt attacked the country yet. So, yes, many worries; not on Iran's part, though.
8. The West playing the Holocaust card.
Noor ,   Palestine   (05.28.09)
RIDICULOUS!!
9. Ahmadmonkeyjob is off-topic, as usual
Ayatollah Coca Cola ,   USA   (05.28.09)
No amount of equivocation from this primate masquerading as Iran's leader should fool the Iranians, who hopefully aren't stupid enough to prefer building obsolete toy bombs and a sinking economy over motivated reformers. Iranians should vote with their pocketbooks and kick Ahmadmonkeyjob back to the Tartarean pit from whence he came.
10. Nut Case
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (05.28.09)
When will the people of Iran rid themselves of religious fanatics and madmen?
11. Hitler of Iran must be eliminated
tomi ,   lee/s summit   (05.28.09)
Before the 12 th Imam arrives. this piece of human trash must be dealt with. Awantajihad, and the mad mullahs of Iran must be stopped before they commit the unthinkable. put a bomb in their house before they put one in ours
12. SHOA !!!.
ORAO STRANKA. ,   TSARIGRAD U SRBIA.   (05.28.09)
Iran: Holocaust is West's Achilles' heel. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday that the Holocaust is "the Achilles' heel of the West and its main weakness", explaining that this was the reason for its continued mentioning of the subject. Responding to comments made by his opponents in an upcoming nationwide election, Ahmadinejad told a radio station that "the West has created a situation of false pity for itself and is using it to oppress other nations". He added, "We attacked the issue of the Holocaust and even they didn't believe such a thing occurred, because we attacked their main weak point." I HAVE JUST READ A SELFBEOGRAFIC BOK OF, "RUDOLF HÖSS", KOMMENDANT IN AUSCHWITZ, 1940-43. IT IS ALMOST UNBELIVABLE HOW A HUMAN BEEING, LIKE THE IRANIAN PRESIDENT, CAN DENIE THE HOLOCOAST, ALBAIT AL THE PROOFS IN THE WORLD. IT IS NO WONDER THAT JEHOVAH, IN TIMES OF OLD, COMMANDED THE ISRAELIS, TO PUT EVERY BEEING IN THE PROMISED LAND TO THE SWORD, EVERY BEEING WHO HAS THE BREATH OF LIFE. THERE IS NO HUMAN SOLUTIONS TO THE HUMAN PROBLEM OF DISCORRD AND STRIFE, BETWEEN LIES AND THE TRUTH. WHEN THE LIE AND ITS EVIL BECOME TO INSISTANT AND OPRESSIVE, JEHOVAH DEMANDS THAT THEIR EXECISERS BE PUT TO DEATH. Orao.

16. WHY
KD ,   USA   (05.29.09)
Why does this wack ass keep claiming that Jews keeping bringing up the Holocaust, when he's the one that brings it up everyday? Besides why cant they; Muslims, Africans, Arabs, Armenians, Palestinians, etc keep bringing up stuff from the same time period (like the "Nakba") or even way before, why cant Jews. Oh thats right because we are Jews.
17. spin cycle
John ,   Boise, Idaho, USA   (05.29.09)
Gosh, I hope they're all spinning in the same direction, otherwise there may be an internal catastrophe. By the way, why is he pointing at his brain in the picture?
18. "Holocaust of West's achilles heel"
William ,   Israel   (05.29.09)
Of course it's seen that way in the Arab world, because introspection and humanity are considered a sign of weakness...an achilles heel. Hell, systematic attacks and desecration of minorities happens routinely in the Arab world, but it's considered business as usual. To feel sorry or remorseful would only make them look weak - as monkey man stated in reference to Khatami's position. Long days ahead for the Persian people, I'm afraid.
19. #7 - A beating by Hizbullah?
William ,   Israel   (05.29.09)
I guess there are a few still willing to stand by that statement. According to most analysts, Hizbullah got a nice little beating. Besides the unexpected ferocity in Israel's response, both Hizbullah and Iran were shocked at the intelligence data that knocked out most rockets and underground bunkers within days. Personally - I wish Nasrallah another such victory. Regarding Israel's use of unilateral military action, show me once where diplomacy by Israel yielded positive results? It's seen as weakness in the Arab world - you know it, and I know it. Arafat knew it, and broke his promises. Hamas knew, did the same. So without the threat of unilateral military action, it seems Arabs can't be held to any of their agreements...which is why Iran's acting like a spoiled child and Hizbullah and Hamas are keeping their lids shut.
20. #8 - Noor - Arabs use Holocaust reference more than West
William ,   Israel   (05.29.09)
In a study of Arab and Western media, the Arabs refer to the Holocaust 27 times more than the West does. Infact, while it hardly gets mentioned in Western media, the Arabs routinely use it as a talking point when considering their own demise. However, Arab media almost never mentions their own mistakes, including failings of Arab leaders and Pals continued use of violence in lieu of honest diplomacy. That would be considered un-Islamic, un-Arab, and traitorous. And since modern Israel was conceived 60 years prior to the Holocaust, and the land promised in the Balfour Declaration 20 years prior - Arabs really have no basis in using the Holocaust reference....except, their direct involvement in it...like your own Grand Mufti Al-Husseini.
21. hitler Y"SH"V was a christian extremist
AY_Lamb ,   USA   (05.29.09)
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a Muslim. Advocating conflict, violence, war and death in the name of a theocracy renders that theocracy false or disingenuous at best. Proselytizers, witnessers, and missionaries give your zealotry a rest and go study your bible. You are caught in a cycle of anti-good, Plus giving undue credence and attention to the President of Iran only elevates his status and exaggerates his relevance. Perhaps his lust for violence and contempt and your lust for violence and contempt make you kindred, something to think about???
22. Would someone stuff a sock in his yap?
petra ,   uSA   (05.29.09)
he's a mini mouse jackass. The mouse that roared.
23. The jerk prefers the West does the dirty work
Sam ,   Canada   (05.29.09)
This is a 3rd world menacing creampuff who prefers the West brings Israel down for him. Hence his obsession with denying the Holocaust. Iranians don't mind using nukes but they don't look forward to getting fried themselves. So much for glorious martyrdom.
24. Ahmadinejad should be held accountable for inciting ...
Dave Ronen ,   Haifa   (05.29.09)
Ahmadinejad should be held accountable for inciting genocide, a crime under international law. 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.

25. Can someone put the lights off this monkey
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (05.29.09)

26. tiny isreal
FAJR III   (05.29.09)
tiny isreal wants to be a bully, held above the law and no justice in Palestine.
27. Failed economy is Iran's achilles' heel
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.29.09)
Ahmadinejad's anti-semitic rants and abuse of the Holocaust are stunts Ahmadinejad uses to divert attention from Iran's devious pursuit of nuclear power and the regime's inability to solve compounding domestic problems. June 12th is an opportunity for the Iranian people to boot Ahmadinejad out of power before it's too late.
28. To: No. 26
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (05.29.09)
Actually, isn't this election about Iran? Why drag Israel (note correct spelling) and the Palestinians into the mix? Ahmedinejad is a bantam rooster. A tiny little thing, all sizzle and no steak, conscious about his size and therefore all about the violence, not about the skill. When is he going to prounce around, I wonder, beating his chest? I tower over him, and I don't tower over too many .....
29. Ahmadinejad and his centrifuges
DT ,   TA Israel   (05.29.09)

30. AhmadiNejad:recognised n°1 torturer& killer in Ewin prison.
SOS ,   GENEVA, SWITZERLAND   (05.29.09)
Ex-political Iranian prisonners in Evin prison during the 80' were on TV here, recognising you as the most notorious and fearfull of all the "guards/inspectors"- You tortured hundreds and killed with no mercy, in cold blood dozens of political opponents- Ahmadi, do you miss the 80' ? Why you do not speak about this period ? Is it your weak point, your achilles eal or did you really liked your Job at the time as they say..?
