1. Sanctions and Obama's stupidity
DT ,   TA Israel   (02.10.10)
Nothing could be more useless
2. Against Iran Neuclear Ambitions
Hellfire ,   Gold Coast Australia   (02.10.10)
The USA has troops on the ground next door in IRAQ and if Israel is prepared to strike hopefully will support them to free the people of Iran. Perhaps another war is needed as what is going on is a war against terrorism. Well Iran supports terrorism so send in the troops and get it over with. A high cost to pay but an Iranian Government with neuclear weapons does not bear thinking about. What is the world waiting for?
3. I apologize for o-BUM-a even though I didn't vote for him.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.10.10)
The people who were fooled by him and voted for him are mostly too embarrassed to apologize for him. He is after all, our first and last muslum president and he has no experience at being a president much less anything else.
4. The LOW-IQ-BLUFF of Obama.
Nora Tel aviv   (02.10.10)
Who is responsible for the creation and activation of the Revolutionary Guards, if not Ahmadinejat ? Mr. Obama knows it well that Ahmadinejad will easily find a way to circumvent this "Punishment". It makes one wonder who, Obama is kidding, by such a LOW-IQ-BLUFF.

Arn. ,   SWEDEN.   (02.10.10)
AGREE !!!. Arn.
6. Will Sanctions Work?
Joanne ,   NY, USA   (02.10.10)
It kind of sounds like 1979/1980. I doubt that sanctions will work. Remember the American oil tradder Marc Rich? A new book details his business dealings in Iran at the time: The King of Oil - The Secret Lives of Marc Rich. Highly interesting. Rich acknowledges having traded with Iran during the hostage crisis despite the American embargo. “It was a political development which did not affect the business,” Rich says in the book. “It was very unpleasant and tragic for the hostages and humiliating for America, but it didn’t affect the business.” All companies from all countries continued to trade with Iran.
7. Do it yourself
Judith ,   Anywhere Land   (02.10.10)
You want to fight Iran, DO IT YOURSELF, no faked terror attacks which kill americans to pull us into your lust for power, we are not your private army, AMERICA AND ISRAEL ARE DONE - screw you and your state which is a slap in the face to Jews everywhere. Not one country on earth will allow your xenophobic citizens on its shores, EVERYBODY SEES WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO US. Its too late, leave America and the UK and China and Russia and your own people ALONE you CRIMINALS - Zionists are not Jews, everybody knows now, its over, STFU
8. Obama is about to make his second mistake
zionist forever   (02.10.10)
He knows full well sanctions will never work and he has privately accepted that Iran will get nukes and we will just have to accept it There is no way he will ever allow either US forces or Israel to carry out airstrikes against Itan. It goes against everything he stands for. He wants America to be seen as a paper tiger that has influence over only Israel and loves all muslims. The second mistake is if he starts encouraging revolution. We might not like the current regime in Iran but revolutions are not scientific and you could end up with somebody worse. After WW1 we threw out the Keiser got Hitler. Russia got rid of the Tsar and got Stalin. The US thought that getting rid of Saddam was going to have Iraqis all running around in I LOVE AMERICA shirts. Instead of having a stable country with a brutal regime we have a government that has no power to rule over violent chaos Mousavi is like Obama, he promises to be all things to all people and he wants nukes just as much as Ahmadinejad he is not going to be some American puppet. If Obama is even half as smart as he likes to think of himself then he will opt for air strikes on Irans nuclear program and then keep the country contained through restrictions on certain technologies.
9. Judith #7
eh-oop ,   UK   (02.10.10)
Very late, admittedly, but the world is beginning to see the reality of the delusions that you share with Israel's enemies. Hatred leads to criminal acts. Don't propagate yours.
10. #7: Judith in LA LA LAND
Israeli 2   (02.10.10)
Every Jew is a zionist - they have to be if they are Jewish eventhough lots of gentiles are zionists too, and are therefore not Jewish.
11. simple logic
masjnoe   (02.10.10)
if you have nuclear weapon you simply can not tell other nations not to enrich uranium.
12. #1, SOME RESPECT PLS
ksoze ,   Biafra   (02.10.10)
You seem to be an empty-headed fool. You don’t even have respect for Obama despite the fact that he is doing everything to save the thousands of innocent Israeli lives that would be lost in event of war with Iran. Go enroll in the kindergarten.....maybe they’ll teach you war is always the last option and when negotiations have been thoroughly exhausted. YOU DONT RUSH INTO WAR. Lastly, even if for whatever reason you can’t respect Obama, you must learn to respect the all-mighty and hallowed office he occupies. When you insult him, you insult his office and your (Israel`s) only protector and guarantor, America. I am from Biafra, and we love the Jews. In fact, we feel like Jews. Long live the Jewish state of Israel.
13. TALKBACK NUMBER 11.

11. simple logic masjnoe (10.02.10) if you have nuclear weapon you simply can not tell other nations not to enrich uranium ACCORDING TOTHE PRINCIPELS IN THIS CHARACTER - POLICE WHO ARE ARMED CAN NOT TELL THE CRIMANALS, NOT TO GET THEM !!!. Arn.
