2. Some Things Never Change
EZ ,   US   (04.01.11)
The thin veil Germany hides behind always winds up showing the true core of who these people are. A friend of mine who survived the holocaust visited his hometown in Germany with a group of friends only to hear "look...there go those damn Jews again!". "Juden! Go back to Your sandpit!!". These words uttered by full fledge adults, young kids and everyone in between. You can't change a whole culture in a single generation or even 5. It takes a long time. But now that we've helped Germany back up to a high position, they're feeling their oats and doing what they've always done: crooked, dark things. And they'll only become more brazen about it. I don't know if it's the water in Europe or just defective genetics but their entire history is a shame to all of humanity. They're a disgrace.
3. The US could just close down all banking activity with India
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.01.11)
overnight, that would do it.
4. India, very disgusting; germany, not surprising; more lies
dante ,   uk   (04.01.11)
merkel talks a good game, when she wants to. but, regardless of what she says, germany is a relentless supporter of the iranian regime, as it was of saddam's iraq, with all his weapons programmes.
5. Germany will be always Germany...Never trust it !
(04.01.11)
6. The author sound like an Israeli mole
IRAN#1   (04.01.11)
He should be investigated by the FBI for espionage against the USA for Israel.
7. #1. Hullo Lol..
Tim ,   Brighton   (04.01.11)
Very incisive analysis of Mid East and World Affairs. Where did you study? With a mind like yours you should apply for a job at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Teheran immediately
8. Maybe Germany needs some nuclear missiles pointed at it, too
Eitan ,   Chicago   (04.01.11)
9. India_Iran
Santosh ,   Bangalore, India   (04.01.11)
It's better that the US and Israel stop poking their nose into affairs of India. India is mature enough to take decisions and not a Stooge of US
10. no.1 - you are sick
Daniela   (04.01.11)
11. #1 - loooooooooooooooooooool
(04.01.11)
12. so what?
Andy ,   India   (04.01.11)
India and Iran have historical ties going back 1000s of years. Iran has done nothing to harm India's interests. If US can go play with dictatorships in middle east, latin america etc, they have no business telling India what to do. to each his own.
13. Serious work
Kazim Ali ,   Kut, Iraq   (04.01.11)
To # 10 , I agree with you about no 1 , I think this a very informative anaylses from someone with great insight. My question to him is this , why is your explanation for the Indian conduct ?is it strategic in the sense of building a position could Iran vanquish the region , or is it mercantilist in nature ?
14. Iran has and will always...
Persian CAT   (04.01.11)
have influential and generous friends. Get over it.
15. The Aryan Connection
John   (04.01.11)
Historically speaking Iran, India and Germany have some type of Aryan history connection and the Swastika is such a symbol shared by them too.
16. #1
rob ,   orangevale USA   (04.01.11)
With brains like yours its no wonder monkeys run the show and steal food from your mouths. Gandhi would kick your ass. I especially appreciate your cowardliness since only a coward would scrawl such Bull%@#$, and sign as "indian." (the lower case only proves your ignorance) You and your ilk make India look as primitive as ever. Mother Teresa weeps. Rob
17. #9 Santosh
rob ,   orangevale USA   (04.01.11)
As an American citizen, I would like nothing more than to see the terrorist you love, destroy all that's Holy to you. Without the US there would be war that would end your so-called democracy. India is a stooge of huge proportion. Maturity doesn't mean toadying up to Iran either. In Mumbai you sure needed us, and I long for the day you will pay for your wish of total US disengagement. Rob
18. Oh shut up everybody! It's either sex or money and I don't
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.01.11)
think it's sex that steers Angelas' politics. We would do business with the Satan himself if it suited us and rightly so. That's how it's been done through the ages of human history& politics. Obviously neither Germany nor India feel threatened by Teheran, it's their mistake. Sanctions will do a zilch to stop Iran anyway, so why loose revenues as well???
19. to Persian Cat
John ,   Tel-Aviv   (04.01.11)
It's not Iran that has friends, it;'s Iranian oil and money it generates, otherwise - who would need you, what can you offer to the world?
20. iran's donors
moron ,   galut   (04.01.11)
no suprise germans--suprise is jews who keep supporting a pro-jihad democrat party
21. To Jon: u r ignorant. It is 1000's of years of civilization.
Ihab ,   Lebanon   (04.01.11)
22. #2, EZ...I live in Germany and you are right,
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.02.11)
the Germans are as bad as you say, they will never change and at the moment they are helping Iran to build the bomb and to finish what they had been prevented to do...the Germans are arrogant greedy and antisemitic cowards...
23. Frau Merkel wants to help Iran to finish
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.02.11)
what Hitler was prevented to do... DOES ANYONE IN HIS RIGHT MIND REALLY BELIEVE, THAT GERMANY WILL EVER CHANGE.....??????? I LIVE HERE, I KNOW THEM...THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W A K E U P BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
24. we're dealing with historic NUKES
art ,   jersey city USA   (04.02.11)
At some point you should remember that India sits between 2 hostile muslim countries with nukes. Enjoy
25. You people are ignorant
Iranian ,   Tehran, Iran   (04.02.11)
I live in Iran, most Iranians like Israel. Stop believing propaganda, we hate our government. Stop believing what Ahmadinejad says.
26. on #9, santosh
joel ,   usa   (04.02.11)
well, billgates should get out of india, too, what will happen to bangalore after?
27. Legitimate business
Max Maier ,   Germany   (04.02.11)
There is nothing to prevent India from buying Iranian oil. There is certainly no UN resolution prohibiting the purchase of Iranian oil. Just because the US treasury blacklists some corporations doesn't mean that anyone else has to share that opinion. Chest thumping from the US isn't quite as impressive as it used to be. India is the world's largest democracy with several times the population of the US. They certainly don't have to pay special attention to the pompous and patronizing opinions of some shill for Israeli interests from the US.
28. The other day I spoke to Samoan ,...
split ,   US   (04.02.11)
They're tired of you too ;) ,...
29. Business is business
Atomino ,   Germany   (04.02.11)
Why we should support the sanctions onesided and weaken our economy? Once Germany had strengthen the sanctions on Iran US companies were filling the gaps using shell companies. Sounds hard but there is no friendship in politics only interests.
30. The same talkbackers who legitimize business with Iran...
Tahl   (04.03.11)
Are usually the first talkbackers to criticize Israel for its past dealings with South Africa. Yet another proof of the immense hypocrisy found in the Internet when it comes to Israel.
