9. to the question of #6
sohnes ,   ludwigsburg, germany   (05.07.10)
You should consider the concept of "Hudna". It is often confused with "peace", regarding the Middle East. The term means a limited ceasefire in order to built up the necessary power to crush the enemy. Israel's adversaries are keeping still at the moment. They increase or maintain their military power at the same time.
10. Iran’s nuclear threat and the West : Is Mr. Kouchner right?
Ron B. ,   Lod   (05.08.10)
Referring to Iran’s nuclear weapons program, Kouchner said the West is not particularly worried about Iran’s nuclear threat because everyone believes that Israel will attack Iran for them. In his words, “I HONESTLY DON’T BELIEVE THAT [A NUCLEAR ARSENAL] WILL GIVE ANY IMMUNITY TO IRAN. FIRST, YOU [ISRAEL] WILL HIT THEM BEFORE [THEY ACQUIRE NUCLEAR WEAPONS]. BECAUSE ISRAEL HAS ALWAYS SAID THAT IT WILL NOT WAIT FOR THE BOMB TO BE READY. I THINK THAT THEY [THE IRANIANS] KNOW. EVERYBODY KNOWS.” A sad reality at : http://xrl.us/otzko

12. review
ben Ish   (05.08.10)
Time for another of my famous reviews? January 2009: talks about resolutions to be drawn up. June 2009: Deadline is set for September 2009. September 2009: deadline is moved to December 2009. December 2009: Deadline is quietly dismissed. Nothing but TALK, and even when the time comes, then they just tell us to forget. However a sample of what the ACTUAL EVENTS during the same time period: Iran accelerated arming proxies Syria, Hezb, Hamas and covert ops in J&S, and probably Israel proper. Arms and alliance agreements were made with DPRK, Venezuela, and assurances were received from Russia, China, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon. Also meanwhile, China is officially engaged in missile research with Iran and DPRK. Russia, despite financial problems, promises completion of the Iranian nuclear reactor. Iran announces the heavy water facility is operational, and (several times now) announced that they are "Officially" a member of the "Nuclear Club." It was also during this time that the secret facility in Qom was "discovered", and nothing came of that either, except for more deadlines and sanctions to be abandoned. So, what are you going to believe? These empty claims repeated every few months that evaporate every single time into nothingness, *OR* what the actual events reveal? The chain of events definitively show a clear allowance by the global community for Iran to arm itself with nuclear weapons, while restraining Israel using any means available. This is not by accident, it is by design. I'm sorry for the pressure on Mr. Netanyahu, but the grim reality is a decision whether or not Israel will survive, given the cost. He does not want to wield the power against our enemies because of the terrible price they will pay. I would counsel Mr. Netanyahu that the grim cost to be paid by those who oppose Israel's existence is the cost THEY created for themselves. It is not ours. Tell them only this: Lay down your arms and let us live, or you will surely die.
13. @ben ish. So according to your speculations
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (05.08.10)
They already have a few nukes ready. Because as we all know,their atomic project began during the early 80's and was hidden till lets say 1999. How much time does a state which has every means at its disposal need to make weapons in this amount of time? What about the reports that indicate the iranians bought nukes from former ussr states after the split up of the eastern block? And lets not forget that there is a possibility that the north koreans have also provided them with nukes,via china. Could happen,right?
14. IDIOTS !!!.
Arn ,   SWEDEN.   (05.08.10)
THIS WILL GIVE IRAN AT LEAST ANOTHER HALF YEAR, BEFORE THE WEST CAN SEE NO PROGRESS IN THIS MATTER. OF CAUSE THE IRANIANS WILL THEN TRYE ALL TALK-TRIX TO PROLONG THIS HALF YEAR, AND THE TIME WILL DRAG OUT UNTILL THEY HAVE THE BOMB. WHAT AN IDIOT AND FOOL THIS DEMOCRATIC WESTERN CHAMBERLAIN WORLD IS. Arn.
15. Sanctions TO BE imposed.
Spencer ,   Israel   (05.08.10)
Procrastination is the thief of time. Everyone agrees but no one is doing anything. By the time the spineless good for nothing UN does anything it will be to late. What are they waiting for? For Iran to test her first nuclear device. The UN is nothing but a joke.NOW is the time to implement full sanctions and to excommunicate Iran from the civilised nations of the world.
16. The illegal installations must be wiped
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.08.10)
OUT, there is nothing more to say...
