2. It is a shame for Europe NOT ARRESTING A WAR CRIMINAL
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (12.14.09)
As Barak visited Viena
3. So its green light for iran
tea man ,   marjayoun   (12.14.09)
to finish the job whatever iran is doing whether its building a bomb or installing new centerifuges will be accomplished
4. barak should go
alexi   (12.14.09)
barak has done his thing, he has outlived his usefulness. He is a technical person, a weak politician where israel's enemies do not fear one bit. yaalon would be much better at defense. Likewise sharon was better than barak as he licked terror on west bank whereas barak did nothing as Pm against terror. He should go already.
5. It's kinda too late for any air strikes.
Alex ,   Stockholm-Sweden   (12.14.09)
What further proof do you need to admit defeat?your own Gen Bidatz(or what ever his name was) acknowledged last week that iran does have the ability to create nukes and that the only thing separating it from the bomb is the go ahead decision. Further more the UN has established a center around irans borders to monitor nuke tests. Clearly any one of you who thinks that an airstrike would do any good(at this stage that iran stands)should really snap out of it and face reality. It's game over for israel. Iran would go nuclear(if they don't have their bombs ready by now and hidden) and you just cant do a thing about it. PS: also let's not forget that according to DEBKA,they have simulated a nuke explosion(or what ever that was)
6. Iran Not Existential Threat To Israel
World Citizen ,   the world   (12.14.09)
This is an utter fabrication on the part of your right wing extremist politicians. They need an enemy to keep the Israeli people fearful and in-line. Politicians in the USA and USSR did the same thing to their citizens for decades. Israel has plenty of nuclear weapons to defend itself. Iran is no danger. The real problem is that Israel also has a fully developed military-industrial complex/culture that depends on fear to make money. When Israelis stop listening to their lying politicians and the oligarchs getting filthy rich in the arms trade the whole world will be a safer place.
7. Sanctions are 5yrs to late and Bombing not effective enough
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (12.14.09)
Iran will be a nuclear power in 10yrs, short of an invasion there is little that can stop it. With Iraq and Syria bombing worked because they needed reactors for nukes but Iran plans to go both ways if it needs to. Iran is likely to be putting it new centrifuges in the uranium mines to make it impossible to tell how much uranium they are processing, which could be why their known centrifuges are processing less right now.
8. Bloody Thirsty The Texan ME "expert" from 7000 miles away
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (12.15.09)
it is not effective to keep denying that Texas is stolen from Mexico Focus on this like a laser beam, you are much better "expert" at it
9. #5 That's what they said about Osirak
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.15.09)
And look what happened to that reactor.
10. Only one threat to peace here.
Paul ,   Cairns Australia   (12.15.09)
One country in the Mid-East already has nuclear weapons, and refuses to sign on to the non-proliferation treaty and allow inspections. Hint: Its not Iran and unlike Iran it HAS caused a number of wars in the region. When should the bombing start?
11. #10 Iran is the threat to peace
Ron ,   US   (12.15.09)
Israel has never threatened a nuclear attack against any country nor has Israel caused wars. Israel has repeatedly been attacked by the Arab/Muslim neighbors. Paul is a bit confused.
