1. Gone the next day?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.06.11)
Try two hours. If that.
2. Mecca disagree
mecca disagree ,   Mecca. Saudi Arabia   (12.06.11)
that sheikh is either high. disconnected. or both. Iran does not need to use the nuke itself. they can always outsource the job to al queda or some wolf terrorist with no nationality.
3. #1 How are the hormones holding up?
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (12.06.11)
The thought G-d forbid is much too horrid to even think about. Come off your warhorse girl. It's that american water getting to you.
4. you think they worry about killing Arabs?
Golan ,   modiin   (12.06.11)
even Arab terrorists had no problem killing Arabs to get at Jews. (suicide bombing as a quick example such as Maxim restaurant where half the clientele were Arabs.)
5. they could care less!!!
david ,   brooklyn   (12.06.11)
They could care less if Palestinians die, just as the Syrians (& many other Arab countries) have proven that they could care less about killing their own civilians. The value of life isn't equal in Iran and Israel. Not to mention that they don't necessarily have to do the dirty work themselves. They can simply give it over to a terrorist organization who is unaccounted for, who would gladly do the work in its place. Also. Iran perceives it as a grand suicide attempt which very well may cost it dearly. They are motivated by the same Quaran as the suicide bombers in central Israel. Except, this time they hope it's the final solution.
6. Not nessesarily, Germany, UK and USA may convince us not to
Big Levi   (12.06.11)
in return for more submarines/F16's
7. #3, we have been through enough to get here
Yonatan Koss ,   Chiloquin,   (12.06.11)
Being second on the nuclear trigger is called dead.
8. Mecca : I did not expect you to agree
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (12.06.11)
For starters , Sheikh Al-Maqtoum is neither high nor disconnected. If you are really from Macca , you would know not to expect an Arab to speak his mind truthfully. . Secondly, you would know that all these troubles with fundamentalist Wahabi Islam , and the Shi-ite reaction we are seeing, is down to ibn Saud and ibn Abdl Azziz two and a half centuries ago. It has now got out of control and you will not be able to put the Genie back in the bottle without much destruction and bloodshed many times worse than Iraq suffered. The thinkers amongst you have to figure a way to reverse this ticking bomb, or you will have allowed the self destruct button to go off
9. UAE PM
Spencer ,   Israel   (12.06.11)
Someone should tell Sheik al-Maktoum that he's right about what would happen if Iran attacked Israel but wrong about his Muslim neighbours having lived next to each other for "for thousands and thousands of years". Islam has only existed for less than 2,000 years.
10. #3 How are the hormones of the arab Islamist spring holding
Hippocrates ,   Earth   (12.06.11)
up? 70 of your government is in the hands of al qaeda brothers in Egypt. You aren't alone in the arab muslim countries.... The projections of your cultures own intentions towards the Jews in their homeland since 1917 (balfour) are amusing albeit psychotic. Your culture beats the drums of war. Does Israel say to the arabs they have no right to their land? No history there? They are oppressing berbers and kurds and chriistians (all true btw)? But the arab slim culture demonizes the Beautiful Jewish state since it was a baby reborn after 1750 years. It is your crowd which is on and inside the warhorse. Look around you "Tarbouche". Read your hadiths tarbouche, now be honest as that is what God commands...in all honesty it is your peers and culture and ideology which beats the drums for death and doom. Jews have a Holocaust complex, much deserved when 75% of your main exile is cremated and gassed alive. The Muslims world will be gone if anyone does something like that. Hundreds of nuclear bombs will fall on you and yours if you and yours dare attack us with such things. The sampson option.
11. Iran sits on 40% of the worlds oil energy, they're suffocate
Hippocrates ,   Earth   (12.06.11)
suffocating themselves, and you mean to tell me its because they want only power plants? You have GOT to be kidding me mr UAE.
12. Fool and Idiot !!!,
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (12.06.11)
13. They're pains in the stinkin behind now...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.06.11)
can you imagine how much worse they'd be with nukes? Make hay while the sun is shining and rid the world of this menace.
14. The Sheikh is an Iran appeaser and a most
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (12.06.11)
disgusting W I M P !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
15. I doubt the weapons would reach Israel
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A . Israel   (12.06.11)
But I am sure an Israeli attack would destroy Iran in less than two hours.
16. Sheik Makhtoum can rather give a tip for horse racing
Alan ,   SA   (12.06.11)
Thats his speciality.Horses... try to find out whats a good horse for a bet
17. Israeli Jingoists threatening to nuke Iran
Robert ,   Australia   (12.06.11)
Anyone with half a brain will know that Iran, regardless of if they possess nuclear weapons would not attack Israel unless Israel attacks Iran. Iranians aren't as stupid as some posters here claim. Iran has every right to have whatever weapons they think fit to deter attacks from countries like Israel.
18. iran will be gone the next day but so will Israel
zionist forever   (12.06.11)
Very true if Iran attacked Israel it would be gone the next day but Israel would have gone the day before and the only people left to give the order to destroy Iran would be a handful of politicians in a nuclear bunker. As for the palestinians Iran does not and never has cared about them. How many thousands of them will die if Iran responds with a missile barrage to an Israeli attack against its nuclear facilities? They are a political football for whoever has needed their uses at the time be it arabs, Iranians or somebody else nobody actually cares about them just hurting the zionist entity. The UAE is terrified of the idea of military action against Iran because of how it might affect them so just try calm things. Tell us how Iran would be to scared to attack Israel if it had nukes and that it doesn't have them anyway,they are not taking sides which means neither the west or Iran will condemn their position and everybody is happy.
19. Dubai is Iran's big trading and banking partner
Alan ,   SA   (12.06.11)
20. #18
Rodney ,   Cape Town   (12.06.11)
"Very true if Iran attacked Israel it would be gone the next day but Israel would have gone the day before and the only people left to give the order to destroy Iran would be a handful of politicians in a nuclear bunker." Why don't you people put your ideas aside and read the Bible which is the Book of the only True God. Therein you will find that Israel is never going to be destroyed but will become the capital of Israel and the rest of the world from which Messiah will rule. And that day is coming sooner than you think.
21. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum
Chris Linthwaite   (12.06.11)
speaks the truth. The fact is after Iran tests a nuclear weapon it ensures it won't be attacked and that is it. Mutually Assured Destruction then comes into play. The pisser for Netanyahu is having to fund a second strike option, but hey welcome to the Nuclear Club. Those 1 million Israelis living in Americaland Netanyahu tried to woo last week won't be returning anytime soon.
22. Deterrence does not work with Ayatollahs
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (12.06.11)
He doesnt mind sacrificing millions of his followers to fulfil his perverted interpretation. The Koran recognizes the Jews and Israel as their home. whats his problem. His 50 billion dollar swiss bank account has rotted his brain. Now it seems the Egyptians want to give their new freedom to more ayatollahs
23. The Arab factor
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (12.06.11)
Should Iran or any of its surrogates decide to fire masses of rickets and missiles against Israel, they should consider that indeed they will probably kill many people INCLUDING many of their own - the Israeli Arabs! Further, due to the small size of Israel, many of their rockets and so on will probably fall on the West Bank. I wonder if Abu Mazen has had the foresight to build aid-raid shelters for himself and his people? Rockets and weapons cannot tell the difference between Jews and Arabs and if the guidance systems are a bit out, no doubt the King and Queen of Jordan and the Hamas regime in Gaza will have to contend with living underground until Israel destroys the Neo-Nazi regime in Tehran!
24. #17 Robert, Your Lie Gets People Killed
Dallas ,   Canada   (12.06.11)
On various levels your post is propagating evil. Can you not see that the classic bully tactic is to make the victim the perpetrator? Do you really think Israel is the bully, being outnumbered about 1000 to 1? Give your head a shake. Your promotion of evil is one more action to encourage Iranian insanity. Words are powerful and there are consequences far greater than you can imagine.
25. Before one big bomb gets anywhere
Just the Ticket   (12.06.11)
close to hitting Israel, the entire Middle East will be in flames. And so, to cut a long story short, if the the Arab Nations are wise, they should cool it. Believe me when I say that if any wisdom is to be found in any ONE arab, he should eliminate his own thoughts. You can think all you like, you can rattle your brains until the cows come home but THAT moment you press the button, hmmmmm... use your brain if you have one!
26. ISRAELI JINGOISTS
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (12.06.11)
ROBERT HOW OLD ARE YOU, BECAUSE YOU POST RUBBISH, YOU SOUND JUST LIKE AN IGNORANT MORON, GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
27. Iran Right to Nuclear weapons#17
Starcell7 ,   Toronto< Canada   (12.07.11)
Hey Joker Israel is not going to attack Iran , 2nd Irans neighbours dont want them having it .3 . Why would Israel or any other country. Want a neighbour that has and is activley promoting their destruction , having a nuclear weapon. DUH!!
28. Al-Maktoum's Comments
Dave In Arizona ,   USA   (12.31.11)
How can al-Maktoum say something so rational (Iran gone the next day) and then turn around and say something so irrational as Iran not seeking nuclear weapons? The guy's been our in the sun too long. Actually, Iran would be radioactive pile of rubble the same day they attacked Israel, but who's going to quibble over a few hours?
