31. enrichment
ben Ish   (07.04.09)
Mr. Oren talked about a time frame within which Iran will have weapons usable Uranium, which is not exactly true. They are not, and have not refined above 5%, while HEU is ~95%. Right now they have enough material. (Uranium, and yellowcake) but this needs to be turned into UF6, into LEU, and then reprocessed into HEU, then there are some metallurgical hurdles. (not insurmountable for Iran) so, you can't really make an accurate blanket statement like that. There are numerous "time tables", i.e.: Time to acquire enough Uranium: *ZERO*. They already have enough and have active productive mines also. Time to acquire enough UF6: 7 months to 3 years. Time to acquire enough HEU: 2 to 6 years. So, a better question would be why does Natanz have enough room for weapons production, but not enough to support a reactor fuel cycle?
32. To #16 from China..What about all those girl babies?
Tyra ,   Lebanon, US   (07.04.09)
You have the nerve to talk about Israel when your country kills its girl children and forces abortion upon women....This is a disgrace. Are you reading this America? Think about this on your next stop to Walmart.
33. #21 Dangerous game Iran plays, Mahmood
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.04.09)
Threatening to wipe a UN member state off the map. Sending Hamas and Hizbullah proxies to destroy Israel. Leading crowds in chants of Death to Israel, the US and England. Threatening to send suicide bombers and missiles to Europe, Israel and the US. If one only reads and listens to the Iranian Regime, their quest for a nuclear bomb for non-peaceful purposes is quite obvious. The UN discredits itself daily and the new chief is yet another pawn for Iran to manipulate.
34. That non-existent Iranian Bomb
Aarky ,   Ft. Smith, USA   (07.04.09)
The new Israeli ambassador to the US seems to be a AIPAC lobbyist. They have President Obama dancing to their tune and groveling, even though Haaretz on June 17 quoted Meir Dagan of the Mossad as stating that it would be 2014 before the Iranians can build a nuclear bomb. IF they decide to build a bomb. All that information was censored from all newspapers and other media in the US. It didn't work. It's all over Google! The most recent demonstrations in Iran help put a face on the people of Iran and made the people of the US realize that they are quite like us. All you hardcore Likuddniks, chill out, take a Prozac and stop running around screeching "The sky is falling".
35. Israel's occupation of Palestine
JDonald ,   Penticton, Canada   (07.05.09)
I'm sick and tired of hearing the crap generated by the Israeli politicians and press about the attitude of the Palestinians. If Canada were occupied by foreigners, we would also fight insurgent battles with our occupiers. When will Israel admit to occupation and allow the Palestinians to govern by self determination. And not according to the desires of the Israelis?

37. JDonald, a lesson in History
(07.05.09)
I am surprise to see that there some people in the world that accepted the so called "Palestinian Propoganda with out making and effort to know the history. Let's start: 1. Nationality and Jerusalem? Israel was in the country - 1,312 BCE, thousand years before the establishment of Islam. 2. Arab refugees in Israel began to identify themselves as Palestinians in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern state of Israel. 3. After taking over the country in 1272 BCE, The Jews ruled the area for thousand years, and had a continuous presence for 3300 years. 4. The Arab ruled the area for only 22 years after capturing the region in - 635 BC. 5. Jerusalem was the capital of the Jewish people for more than - 3,300 years. Jerusalem has never been capital of the Arab or Muslim entity. Even the Jordanians, when they conquered Jerusalem, did not make Jerusalem their capital city and the Arab leaders never visited Jerusalem. 6. King David founded the city of Jerusalem; Muhammad never stepped his foot in Jerusalem. 7. Arab and Jewish refugees. In 1948 Arab leaders encouraged the Arab refugees to leave Israel and promised them to cleanse the country of Jews. 69% of them fled without ever seeing an Israeli soldier. 8. Jewish refugees from Arab forced to flee because of violence, pogroms persecution by the Arabs. 9. Number of Arabs who left Israel in 1948 is estimated at about 630,000. The Number of Jewish refugees from Arab Countries (including Northern Africa) is about 850,000. 10. Jordan annexed the West Bank in 1950 11. The Americans during the deliberation of UN resolution 242 calls the Israeli act as recapture and not occupation. In fact, Max M. Kampelman, former counselor of the US State Department, said in a letter to The New York Times on April 8, 2002, referring to "territories recaptured from Jordan in 1967, territories that Jordan captured in its war against Israel in 1948-49":

You live in Manitoba, right, 6th avenue or Riverside Dr.?
39. Yeah right!
JP Morgan ,   Canada   (07.05.09)
He just got there and now He knows more than anyone? It's complete bullshit, there is no WMD, same as for Irak, Americans wants to force Iran to sell their oil for funky US dollars, no wonder why Venezuela are now trading with China with their own monies. If it were real Jews taking back their land, but those occupying Israel are not what we can call the real Jews.
40. #39 JP with head in sand
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.05.09)
If Iran was building nuclear power for peaceful purposes, why was it necessary to threaten to wipe Israel off the map? In addition, if Iran had peaceful intentions, why did they train and fund proxies Hizbullah and Hamas to wipe Israel off the map? Iran's actions speak louder than your words. In addition, if Israel is the only target, why does Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran advocate Death to the US, England and any country that challenges the Regime's intentions. Iran wants jihad against the west and you live in the west. Perhaps you need to pay closer attention to what these "real Jews" are saying because their intelligence is better than yours.
41. Yeah right!
JP Morgan ,   Canada   (07.05.09)
Have you forgotten what Israel just did and now have accepted to compensate? The ones who are killing at the present time isn't the Palestinians, its Israel and their actions have been condemn by the international community, maybe we don't live in the same world, and btw eat more french fries its very good for you. Especially the ones in fast food restaurant, and please do get vaccinated for the bird flu, but remember that what ever happens to you, the law forbids you to sue the drug maker Baxter or the US government. And I have no fear that he will attack Canada, Islamists have never done an extremist act in America so far, so I don't think we are at risk, at least from them. "The false Jews are saying" is probably what you meant. Their intelligence is there's and they sure aren't going to tell you the truth either, you trust everything they come up with, same as you did when Bush and his gangsters told you there was WMD in Irak, at least the Germans once they seen what their dictator was really up to, they were shocked but at least they didnt try to denie it. Even if I tell you your government is about to commit mass murders in your country, you will still denie that fact, although there is much evidence this is really what they are up to. Google Jane Burgermeister & swine flu... hope you smell the coffee this time.
42. 25 And you do? ie live in the ME?
lydia ,   Brisbane   (07.06.09)
43. #41 Yes, right!
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.06.09)
You must have selective memory. Before the War in Gaza, 9000 kassams and bombs bashed Israel since 2001. Sderot alone was hit with 7500 kassams. Israel showed great restraint until 55 kassams per day were fired at Israel from Gaza. The compensation will be for UN buildings damaged. The Palestinians finally received the response they were begging for. Now they're quiet.
