What do you plan to do? Vote PRESENT? Take credit for someone else's actions? Blame someone? Which is it going to be? ... or how about doing your job?

unity or dominated? servants or slaves? dream or nightmare? live and let live or lie and let die? free or attack and defend? the light lord kingdom or the darknesss men rule? spiritual reality or earthly illusion?
3. " Iran's public is pleased that
peggy ,   uk/israel   (12.01.11)
the British diplomats are no longer in Tehran."...and I bet the Brits are only too happy to see the Iranians vacate the premises in London! Goodbye and stay away! Ahmedinnerjack and his mob certainly know how to win friends and influence people...NOT!
4. Love the photo
Hinky ,   Somewhere, Somehow   (12.01.11)
Now you just need to post the one where he has his hand over his eyes, and the one where he has his hands over his ears.
5. patience with wearing thin?
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (12.01.11)

8. Too immature
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.01.11)
The West acts in an precipitated way. We need thsese countries there to push for more dialogue and try to change their mentality. Who gains with the withdrawal of all those ambassadors now?
9. There were...
Jewish Patriot ,   Galut   (12.01.11)
There were sanctions against hitler too. "Sanctions" won't stop a madman like Ahmedinejad...
10. PENTAGRAM is in, Quartet no more!
mary of bethany ,   singapore   (12.01.11)
PENTAGRAM, not QUARTET! (the fifth invisible member is the Arab League which towered over all 4 members of quartets) EU = Egoist Union / Ever Ulcers / Erroneous Unjust / Eternally Undeserving so what can come out of these?
11. EU will bow to Newest member of Quartet
mary of bethany ,   singapore   (12.01.11)
guess who is the invisible member of Quartet: the Arab League! whatever sauction is rubbish, recall envoys also rubbish, can't even scratch Iran's back, no pain! when the proposal goes to UN, China and Russia will veto against it, what the use? so what action is best against Iran? One word only: M I L I T A R Y!
12. #8 is a FAKE...please delete it...!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (12.01.11)
13. Stop buying Iranian oil, NOW!!
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (12.01.11)
The math is simple, Iran will degenerate to a empty wasteland in months. Iranian oil money is a major source of terror in the world. Without the constant flow of money, Iran will no longer have the funds to continue their nuclear pursuits, fund the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah, or continue their arms build-up. In some ways, an Iranian oil embargo, is more effective than war. Their entire society is predicated upon oil money, and will simply evaporate without it. War will be much more costly, and has no guarantee of a result. When Iran and its' oil are outlaws, then only the outlaw countries will buy it.
14. # 12 Thank you
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.01.11)
Thank you, Chris. I don't know more what to do, dear. This freak is destroying my reputation. At least you know how identify me.
15. one caption to Ahmadinjad's photo: speak no evil!
mary of bethany ,   singapore   (12.01.11)
Bravo to the Genius that chose this photo: that depict the Monkey man so well: remember the very famous 3 monkeys: "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil." mmm... caption: "Speak no evil"
16. appeasement
tom ,   toronto, canada   (12.01.11)
"an appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping to be the last one eaten". - winston churchill. so eu capitals are "concerned about the economic consequences of tighter restrictions on a big opec oil producer"? well, the economic consequences of iran acquiring long-range missiles capable of reaching europe, and the nuclear warheads to arm them with, would be far greater than any mere oil embargo. someone should remind the eu that iran has threatened to not only stop its own oil exports, but also to block ALL shipping from the persian gulf, which is why it is important to confront the crocodile, instead of feeding it.
