2. pakistan
joel ,   usa   (02.05.12)
a poor country with impoverish citizens such a pakistan is a supporter of terrorists groups like iran & afghanistan, the way is let them support themselves and stop the :dole outs: to them and they will be busy looking fof their own food, ok?
3. hey world ! listen to me...
stephane ,   france   (02.05.12)
you don't care of the future of the only jewish state ? we don't care of you !!! instead of warning israel not to attack; you should have since years do whatever possible to stop a nuclear iran. but, you did nothing cause you don't care for the jewish people today, just like you didn't care 70 years ago ! so you can cry me a river for your euro money and your oil. because for us it's: NEVER AGAIN ! and you know what i mean...
4. I never understood the US SEQUENCE in the WAR ON TERROR.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (02.05.12)
5. Lifted the Stakes
suzy000 ,   USA   (02.06.12)
Until Pakistan...every Nuclear country refused to enter the Israeli and Iranian difficulties...this definitely lifts the bar. Now...what will Obama do? The ENTIRE country stands behind Israel...with the exception of Obama and Company.
6. end times?
Proud American ,   U.S.A   (02.06.12)
@5 Pakistani interference may bring India to the fray as well!
7. Fools!You seem to prefer Iranian nuclear missiles in Europe?
who cares   (02.06.12)
8. Pakistani bombs shouldn't be in~volved
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.06.12)
9. Poor Pakistan
abusedcitizen ,   LA USA   (02.06.12)
Israel should stage it's attack to include Pakistan airspace then tell the world that they received Pakistani permission. The Iranians will retaliate against Pakistan. It's a win-win for everyone!!!!
10. not Pakistani, but british
saad ,   pakistan   (02.06.12)
They are not pakistanis. all of them are british. They were born in England and are a product of your injustice or racism problems. It is not Pakistani people, if you call Amir Khan british, accept them as british too
11. Pakis
Ari ,   Kfar Saba   (02.06.12)
Are the Pakis gonna throw their slippers at us?
12. Odd! Why haven't Pakistani misogynists said it themselves?
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (02.06.12)
if its their official policy? They should be proud to fight shoulder to shoulder with their brothers as half their country lives below the poverty line and 75% live on less than $ 2 a day Has Iran offered to throw a few billion their way?
13. Unwise Threat
max ,   washington dc   (02.06.12)
If Israel attacks the Iranian Nuclear facilities it will be with the full backing of the US. Pakistan would be wise to stay on the sidelines.
14. American's are fed up with Pakistan
Ross Gallen ,   Henderson   (02.06.12)
American's are fed up with the Paks. Their anti Israel stance is nothing new. What they fail to understand is that we are about to have an historic election with a new President who will lead the free world and who will not tolerate their duplicitous conduct and anti democratic activities.
15. So now its Israel's fault that the Euro is so unstable?
Jake ,   USA   (02.06.12)
Israel will do what is necessary to uproot any threat to her sovereignty and her people. The Arabs who despise the Iranian terrorists, will nod & wink. Nothing like an apocalyptic regime in Persia to unite Jewish and Arab brothers. Godspeed!
16. $3 Billion A Year
K ,   Chicago, USA   (02.06.12)
And all the US gets is a Pakistan that hates the US. Time to cut the funding immediately!!!
17. #10- Pakistan was only nation to accept Jordanian crimes
William ,   Israel   (02.06.12)
In 1949, when Jordan illegally annexed and ethnically cleansed the West Bank, only the UK and Pakistan recognized these two war crimes as legal. Is this the "injustice" and "racism" you claim to be subjected to as Pakistanis? Was your supported attacks on civilians in Mumbai and hiding Bin Laden and his family part of your victimhood?
18. arib nations have no friends, just usurers !
Moshe ,   Usa   (02.06.12)
19. not british
sanjay gupta ,   delhi   (02.06.12)
Again the same state of self denial. These guys were trained in Pakistan, motivated in Pakistan, by the hatred nurtured there. Please wake up and question your leaders and your military brass whose very narrow self interests have landed you in this mess.
20. So the Muslim nuclear blackmail to world destruction begins!
(02.06.12)
21. You know what?
Israeli 2   (02.06.12)
It could be that not only Pakistan would come to Iran's rescue but surprisingly China and Russia too. Such an undertaking must be coordinated with the USA! I can indeed visualize the huge Arabian desert turning into a huge glass slab.
22. another country to Nuke if thing goes bad
k ,   US   (02.06.12)
I guess in a worse case scenario, at least the countries who are against Israel are showing who they ae
23. "Catastrophic for Europe"
Vlad   (02.06.12)
WHO CARES about Euroweenies? They've been trying to force Israel back to catastrophic borders.
24. And then India bombs pakistan, Jews have friends too.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.06.12)
And, the US bombs pakistan to remove the taliban problem on the border with afghanistan and end the paki nuke problem.
25. That's one expensive threat
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.06.12)
There goes all the aid that Odumba has been funneling to Pakistan even though they are responsible for thousands of American deaths in Afghanistan. Just making that stupid threat will get them cut off by the US Congress.
26. re: # 11
max merbaum ,   SAN FRANCISCO   (02.06.12)
Ari raises an excellent question. We should be mindful of Pakistan's second strike slipper capabilities.
27. And we haven't even CONTEMPLATED my reaction yet!
tom ,   tel aviv   (02.06.12)
28. #3 Well said
raph ,   france   (02.06.12)
Entièrement d'accord avec vous. The West, especially Europe, can only blame itself if Israel strikes Iran, they had plenty of time to get rid of the mollahs when it was easy to do so, but instead they chose to remain passive while Iran is seeking nukes and they might regret it for a long time.
29. well...
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (02.06.12)
Pakistan nowadays only exists at the sufferance of the US. Yes they have nukes, yes they have absolutely zero democratic intentions, but they know full well that the west will extract a truly terrible vengeance should they mingle in this affair. Pakistan will, in the end, keep out. They will not retalliate, period. They cannot. They haven't got any allies. The US made short work of their territorial sovereignty before, and they could only protest. Pakistan is a very decentralized nation of tribes, chiefs, topped by a weak government. nothing to worry about, folks. EU commentaries have nothing to do with the military threat Pakistan constitutes...
30. Pakistan's foreign policy is getting more problematic
(02.06.12)
Pakistan's foreign policy is getting more problematic, regarding Taliban, Afghanistan, Iranians, Indians, internal Stability and most importantly America. Their stance on Iran is complicating matters and will also force the Saudi's to buy the bomb.
