1. The Iranian Nuke
SyrianFreedomEagle   (01.17.11)
The Iranian Nuke. It sounds strange for my israili friends. But the truth is that the Iranian Nuke will stabilize the Middle East once for all. And it will end israili threats against Arab civilians. And it will probably lead to mass emigration of israilis to their birth countries, including Ukrania, Russia, Poland and other countries. The Iranian Nuke is our life insurance.

The Nusayris really fed you some bullsh*t and you fell for it. Wake up, your government is the only threat to its Arab civilians.
3. #1 from Syria
Israeli 2   (01.17.11)
I am a time traveler and saw what is yet to occur. Keep this talkback handy until 2018. Syria will be no more. Most of Jordan in Israeli hands as well as Syria including parts of Iraq.
4. @#1Jihad Joe!
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (01.17.11)
You must be a dumb retard to think the way you think. Israel has never threatened its neighbors except in response to there threats and has never mentioned it's alleged nuclear capabilities. Do you really believe the country that is infested with mad suicidal jihadist would use restraint. A country that backs suicide bombing groups like Hezbollah and Hamas and Islamic jihad would use restraint. The problem is with people like you that support these fanatics. Iran is a country that persecutes it's citizens. It forces it's people to dress a certain way and bans the most basic rights that me and including you take for granted even though I am not sure how you got access to internet in Syria. The problem with your government (Syrian) it is confused. On one hand it supports jihadist externally and internally if there was one sign of a jihadist it would kill its entire family to make sure the genes where destroyed. Correct me if I am wrong you "Jihad Joe" wanna be.
5. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.17.11)
Boy, have you ever been drinking the Kool Aid. A nuclear Iran is your signed death warrant, don't you understand?

SyrianFreedomEagle   (01.17.11)
I think we are civilized enough not to use words like "bullsh*t". Arab dictators are a threat to Arab civilians. But so is israil. We must break two walls.
7. Nukes are useless
Chris.B ,   Australlia   (01.18.11)
Many countries have them and it doesn't mean they are any safer.
8. Oxy-MORON - Syrian Nuke
Hinda ,   SF Bay Area   (01.18.11)
Syria was building one - Israel took it out. Sadman was building one - israel took it out - NOW Do you get the hint? Israel won't EVER use them but the Jarabs would in a heartbeat. What's life worth to them? Nothing.
9. If Iran gave up its uranium today, sanctions would continue
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (01.18.11)
Iranian nukes is over blown by West to stop Iran's support of Hizbollah/ Hamas along with its growing military and regional influence. Iran is reported to having 2 soviet nukes already and could buy a few from N. Korea if needed. In 1978 the US agreed to help build 28 reactors in Iran, so reactors are not the problem but control of the fuel rods and Iran's growing military is a major problem. The ability to make fuel rods and nukes is important for Iran's regional influence more so than have a few nukes. While the nuke issue was the only way to get UN sanctions on Iran without Russia or China vetoing.
10. #1: My "birth country" is Syria. Can I come back?
Jaacov ,   Jerusalem   (01.18.11)
I am an Israeli and I do not wish you evil, only good.

What happens when an ayatollah becomes a man? They take the diaper off of his a$$ and put it on his head.
12. But Arab dictators are produced by Arab civilians, #6
Cameron ,   USA   (01.18.11)
Natural offspring of traditional Arab culture. Inevitable & unavoidable.
13. #1 and Sarah
Harry ,   Toronto Canada   (01.18.11)
Sarah I guarantee you that "The Syrian Freedom Eagle" has not been drinking any form of Kool Aid. I doubt that he even knows what it is. On the Other hand, he does not know how to spell I-s-r-a-e-l in spite of it being mentioned all over the page. I think this eagle is flying. Big time! Freedom? This nut bar has to read Israeli newspapers to get some idea of what is happening. "The iranian Nuke will bring peace...." Wow! Now I've heard it all. Somebody should stick a stuxnet virus up his cavity.

Civilization doesn't depend on whether you use swear words or not, it depends on whether you value the life of all human beings equally and reject religious, ethnic or other elitist societal codes and replace them with secular ethical codes. This is why there are Arabs in Israel who willingly call themselves Israeli, because they recognize that we have mechanisms for change in our country's founding principles that are exclusive to civilized societies. It's got a long long way to go before it's truly equal but it's backed by a principle that's found in few other Islamic countries. Tunisia looks like they might be the next convert to secularism and stability but others like your own country, Syria, are drying up because your pride won't allow you to say that your governments for the past 1400 or so years have been run in their best years by benevolent despots, in their worst by tyrannical maniacs who sap the people of their wealth and rights. The wall you need to break is your own pride, or you'll starve yourself on it. Oh and by the way, half of Israelis including myself came here from the Islamic world, and I can tell you we will take death over a return to dhimmi subjugation. When Arab governments treat Jews and Muslims and Polytheists and Atheists equally for an uninterrupted period of 100 years, then we can talk again.
15. Plenty of time for Israel to develop bunker busting bombs.

Daniel ,   Germany   (01.18.11)
you are a funny lil arab... :D...the fact is Iran will not posses a nuke...Syria has already been chastised and now knows it cannot carry out its clandestine nuclear program...next time Syria tries it probably it would be a bit more than bombin of any secret reactor...probably would include spankin of the assad family as well :D
17. biggus dickus says 2016
biggus dickus ,   Wome   (01.18.11)
did not know dagan was a bike rider..now he is already doing backpedals....kol hakavod
18. Dagan is saying exactly what...
Persian CAT   (01.18.11)
the US National Intelligence Estimate, which was published in 2007, said about Iran's "estimated" time to build nukes. The year was 2015 but Israel and its neo-con gang members pooh poohed it. Now Dagan is eating American crow.
