victims in the western world but retaliation will at least wipe out Islam . This, at least, provides some consolation.
2. Prediction:soon the World-Authorities shall proclaim the end
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.19.11)
of financial crisis (just like that) and deem Iran a non-threatening entity and it's nuclear program "an effort to reduce oil dependency". Just watch it! Nostratomas from Tel aviv
3. " Iran facing unprecedented degree of radiation".
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.19.11)
4. And how much did it cost the US???
Reza ,   Tehran   (11.19.11)
Yes, Iran maybe isolated in the eyes of the US only but other countries still deal with Iran so NO madam Billary, your comments ring hollow in Tehran.The US basically got the Russians and Chinese on-board at a price and these two countries will go back home and continue to do their business with Iran..So in effect, the US has effectively isolated herself from Iran.Total score, Iran 1: US 0
5. IGNORANT THINKING !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.19.11)
A Shia-Islamist is already in the Faith Isolated from the rest of Mankind. This Isolation will effect Nothing Spiritually or Mentaly. You are fighting against Shia-Islam and not Iran. Arn.Sweden.
6. #3, Noodles...have you got a look into the

future...?
7. too too late
art ,   jjjersey city USA   (11.19.11)
we have heard this over 30 yrs. iran is isolated, how otherwise they would be the 5th ot 8th largest world economy. we heard the IAEA, el baradei, tell us iran was peaceful. it may already be too late but certainly it will be too late very soon.The program is well hidden and the reactors are running. iran really does not need sophisticated nukes. Also why believe Obama??how many times has he lied to us?(not that bush or clinton was better).
8. Time is runing out kicking the can down the road
Joe ,   Canada   (11.19.11)
Trying to find an effective sanction without hurting tne economy & without displeasing the Russians & the chinese with their separate interests is a hopeless policy which will bring about more disastrous consequences than facing short term painful decisions right now before it is too late. Perhaps an oil embargo (assuming iron tight) would both hurt Iran's regime enough & cause a temporary shock in the West to seriously work towards independance from oil which is necessary in any case with oil resources in steep decline. Politicians in the West are too well aware that the economy is a prime factor in their reelection & few have grave longer term concerns taking priority over their personnal & partisan fates.
9. THIS WORD.....................ISOLATION
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (11.19.11)
Is for the few who are consoled by the fact that it is USA who says it.Otherwise we see lot of activities in Iran of businessmen coming from the same countries who pretend to agree with Obama that Iran is now more isolated.What isolation are we talking about here?
10. Does the US trust Russia and China ?
Nora Tel Aviv   (11.19.11)
Lip service is not enough. Russia and China will keep providing Iran all it needs for its defense (Sic).
11. The only option
Reuven   (11.20.11)
is to totally destroy Iran's nuke program. Do it now!
