1. Too Busy with Nuclear Arsenal to Respond! Call Back Later
David P. ,   Central Coast, USA   (11.20.09)
after they've completed their task of constructing & concealing uranium and plutonium bombs! You'll have completely missed the opportunity to prevent it by then, bravo, take another bow why don't you.
2. HOW LONG WILL YOU BE ABLE TO DELAY?
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (11.20.09)
If all articles start with the wording....'to delay Iran acquiring Nuclear weapons'.....
3. they are "disappointed" and "urge" iran to reconsider
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.20.09)
and i'm sure iran is shaking in it's boots at the 6 "powers'" response to iran's snub. how embarrassing.
4. Shocked at this filthy Iranians for distrusting the West
Shocker ,   Iran, Tehran   (11.20.09)
"Well, that to me is an extreme case of distrust," ElBaradei said. You must be joking. What a shocker. Distrust, how can one ever distrust an angel like Sarkozy. Do you remember how West supplied Saddam with chemicals and the capability to weaponize it and he targeted Iranian, mostly Kurdish cities, and killed scores of innocent civilians. While Ahmadi-mad may the Devil himself, I wonder what German, French, British and for that matter American and Russian leaders are. Read the history Mr ElBaradei, read past 200 years history of West vs. Iran. May be you will learn something. That should help you and the one who would replace you to better grasp the problem, may be you will find a solution.
5. Search Dimona.
Addle ,   Toronto   (11.20.09)
And check out the underground labs that manufactures 200 nukes for Israel. Until then, leave Iran alone. They at least let in insepcters into their facilities. What right does Israel and the world have to dictate to a country that hasn't attacked anyone in over a 100 years?
6. DEAR 6 POWERS ! CANT YOU SEE HIS FACE ? ....
atilla karagözoğlu   (11.20.09)

I WANT PEACE. I WANT LOVE. I WANT CHILDREEN SMILE WITH PARENTS. I dont know.
7. only Time will tell
Muslim   (11.20.09)
and only time will shame the liars and deceivers. Iran is indeed going to go ahead with a nuclear program, a peaceful nuclear program that is.... then we will see who were the deceivers and who were telling the truth... Just like it is evident today who lied about Iraq and who was telling the Truth.
8. it's too late
Chuckles ,   UK   (11.20.09)
with over 8,000 centrifuges scattered all over the country, nothing can be done at this point, short of a full scale invasion and occuppation of a country of 70 million people.
9. Shocker , Iran, Tehran
jerry   (11.20.09)
you have a point
10. # 5
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.20.09)
Whoa !! Addle who do you think supplies Hezzbullah & Hamas with weapons & bombs ?? Yes, the great Iran herself. And please dont tell us that Hezzbullah & Hamas are peaceful & dont use those weapons against Israel. Iran may have not attacked any country in over 100 years as you write, but behind the scene Iran is helpng others to attack.
11. #6 clearly, -something- is affecting you
ben Ish   (11.20.09)
perhaps it comes in a vial or pill or liquid form?
12. #1 that is the point
ben Ish   (11.20.09)
Global leaders are NOT so stupid. OF COURSE they realize that talks, and threatening to talk about talks do nothing but give Iran more time. That is EXACTLY why they do it, and there is no reasonable conclusion otherwise. Do you think that a 100 million geniuses elected 500 idiots to rule over them? Or is it more likely that 100 million uninformed/misinformed slaves have been duped by those in power with trillions of dollars at their disposal? THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. WAKE UP.
13. #10 That's Iran's choice to supply them.
Addle ,   Toronto   (11.20.09)
Just as how it's America's choice (well hardly due to AIPAC's strong influence on the U.S government) to supply Israel with arms to attack their neighbors with. All in all, there is no argument against why Iran is not allowed to have nuclear technology (for peaceful purposes) whereas other countries already possess nukes(Israel,USA,China,France etc).
14. Hold the presses! Iran not playing along, scoop!!!
Foofie the Dog   (11.21.09)
Alarming news. By the way, whatever happened to the 100 to 300 thousand missing Sri Lankan Tamils? Why are none of these "leaders" concerned? Is it only when they want to constrain Israel that their little gentile hearts start to beat with "compassion"?
15. # 10 iran never had a crazy man like Ahmadinejad as presiden
Joe ,   Montreal   (11.21.09)
16. 9 to 30 Nuke Sites ASAP
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. Calif USA   (11.20.09)
30m Iranins and 15m Syrians, if Israel retaliates to strikes by the aforementioned. Israel has 200-400 high fusion bombs..10X Hiroshimas power, AND neutron covered bombs ( kills people, but doesn't affect equipmen), So let the "final Jihad", the "mother of all battles" begin. However, taking out 9-30Iranian sites will suffice for now, using B1s, B2s, F-18s, F15Is F16Is, bunker busters, Daisy Cutters, cruise missiles, etc. Israeli commandos can eliminate any Iranian resistance, and knock out their S-300 Russian missils or Tor Missiles. 200 F15Is, and F16s, flying north of Syria..can penetrate Iranian radar...with refueling capacity. Helicopters can force Hamas/Hez to hide AGAIN behind their womenfolk and children ( Goldstone will get upset however). Perhaps keeping Goldstone in a deli in Miami, under close guard might do wonders. Anyone volunteer? Bibi handled Munich..maybe he can convince fools Goldstone to stay aloof? It's now folks, or we will rue the day we didn't., like a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv or Queens, NY.

Tamir ,   Los Angeles   (11.21.09)
there are plenty of arguments on why Iran should not posses nukes. First and foremost being that the head of their country has repeatadly called for the destruction of the state of Israel. Do you think a nuclear weapon isnt in his list of things that would greatly help him accomplish that?. Dictator regimes such as Iran should never be allowed to posses these sort of weapons because they have no constraints on using them. You seem to also forget the hostage situation of 1979. It is pretty clear that attacking a sovereign entity's consulate is an attack on that country. Lastly, I am assuming you are a woman. As such a great defender of Iran I wonder how long you would last living there with the way they treat women. No wonder you live in Toronto and feel free to express your criticisms.
18. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.21.09)
Wow, Addle. I had absolutely no idea that you were privy to such a closely-guarded state secret. That's pretty impressive, for such a virulent anti-Semitic Canuck. Who'd have thought? For the record, the United States, Russia and China do not allow inspections of their nuclear facilities. Okay? It's not like Israel is the only one. Put that in your smoke and pipe it.
19. Not to worry!
Curtis ,   USA   (11.21.09)
Yahweh will stand with Israel just as He has in the past and just as He has promised He will. Israel is going to be around for a very, very long time!
20. Why not trade the fuel rods for their uranium and cash?
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (11.21.09)
The trade would help to build trust and since fuel rods are for medical use then what am I missing? It could be that UN wants to use fuel rods/uranium for later dealings once it is out of Iran? If UN willing to make trade then Iran would be stupid to turn it down unless Iranian Gov. thinks sanctions will help rally people behind the Gov.

23. # 13
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.21.09)
You cannot be so naive in thinking that Iran wont try to nuke Israel if & when their nukes are ready. Iran has threatened on numerous occasions to whipe Israel off the face of the earth. Why do you think most of the civilized world is against Iran having nukes?? Try answering that question. Iran cannot be trusted, not now & not in the future.
24. # 12
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.21.09)
Best is to just laugh at #1. Humour is much needed here !!
25. #8 It's never too late
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.21.09)
You have no clue how many centrifuges Iran has or where they're located. Iran is now a country of 70 million miserable people held hostage by the Islamic Regime. The government must control every aspect of Iranian life because their control is so fragile. Companies/countries that do business with Iran must be concerned about the pervasive instability of this country.
26. #18 Sarah the Yank
Addle ,   Toronto   (11.21.09)
"...anti-semitic..." Playing the A-card so fast? Sigh. Let me tell you this. Israel = Country Jews = Religion or ethnic group. Israel in no way is a religion or ethnic group. It's not antisemitic to bash the state(unless in a 1 out of a million chance the country grows legs,payots and can daven) Oh, I see. Those countries haven't gone through inspections. Great. Then they have ZERO reasoning to call out Iran without being called 'hypocrites' in the process. And still, that's a stupid argument. Ever heard of the expression "Two wrongs don't make a right"?
27. #23
Addle ,   Toronto   (11.21.09)
" You cannot be so naive in thinking that Iran wont try to nuke Israel if & when their nukes are ready." Are you the Ayatollah? Are you the General of the Iranian Armed forces? If you're not either of the two then you have no evidence that inclines Iran will authorize such extreme force. You've been watching too much Fox News if you actually believe Iran has ever said that. No such expression exists in Persian, lol. The reason why most of the "civilized" world is against Iran having nukes is because they don't want another kid joining the nuclear bloc. Iran can't be trusted? Well, I'll agree with you on that just as how Israel can't be trusted. Or the U.S can't be trusted. Or Russia can't be trusted and so on.

Addle ,   Toronto   (11.21.09)
"First and foremost being that the head of their country has repeatadly called for the destruction of the state of Israel" So? They're just exercising free speech. "Do you think a nuclear weapon isnt in his list of things that would greatly help him accomplish that?. " Possibly? But so is a soccer ball. "Dictator regimes such as Iran should never be allowed to posses these sort of weapons because they have no constraints on using them. " Constraint? How many dictator countries have actually used nuclear weapons? ...0... " It is pretty clear that attacking a sovereign entity's consulate is an attack on that country." True, but so was the attack on the Air Flight 655 was an attack on Iran.. "Lastly, I am assuming you are a woman" o_0 What? No, I am not a woman. "As such a great defender of Iran I wonder how long you would last living there with the way they treat women. No wonder you live in Toronto and feel free to express your criticisms. " To be honest, I'm not actually defending Iran, I'm just exposing the hypocrisy that goes on between both sides of who owns nukes and who doesn't.
