31. The post at No. 1 is not mine.
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.08.12)
I am SO much more articulate.
32. To: Henry at No. 26
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.08.12)
Henry, you are disappointing me. Did you actually for a single, solitary second believe that I composed the post at No. 1? Have you ever noticed that the imposter keeps his or her posts very short? Ever wonder why?
33. no 17
Ken ,   Burma at Peace   (02.08.12)
Lets see Danny, "Who's stuck nuke sites in the past? When was Israeli's nuke site struck? And whoe's nuke site will be struck next, and by whom? Oh ya, Israel doesn't have nuke sites, so let them be inspected, what have you to lose. Make a deal to have your site inspected and I bet Iran will do the same and do it at the same time frame, answering the same questions. It would make the whole world feel safer, cause we don't trust either of you. What are nukes good for anyway, do they make people brave or stupid?

35. #32 - deepest apologies, I looked at that article while very
Henry from New York ,   USA   (02.08.12)
bored and thinking about other things so didn't think it might be the fake Sarah. Still, the point I made does stand (not for you, but for anyone who wishes for a war).
36. "Iranian people's unity"
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (02.08.12)
"The Americans know what kind of country Iran is. They are well aware of our people's unity," //What a joke! The Iranian people want nothing more than to overthrow this evil regime!
37. #28
Tomek ,   Poland   (02.08.12)
A great doctrine. Just to make sure I understand it correctly, does the term 'infrastructure' include very tall buildings in major cities? I am worried that those Iranians would call such acts terrorism.
38. #1
Tomek ,   Poland   (02.08.12)
"Bring it on!" You know you are quoting the previous POTUS, right? He was not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he nonetheless grew to understand that these words were not even remotely appropriate. Hubris brings down empires.
39. Histories Lessons
Zivron   (02.08.12)
THE NAZI LEADERSHIP OUGHT OF BEEN ASSINATED BY 1935 LATEST BY ALL FORCES . ONCE BURNED TWICE SHY IRAN WILL BE HIT ITS LEADERSHIP OBLITERATED WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND ELDERLY SPARED AS MUCH AS POSSIBlE.
40. Iran is a joke. They are not going to do anything.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (02.08.12)
Except watch all the electricity get shut off.......watch refineries shut down......watch nuclear power plants leveled to the ground. Then the whole naval....air......and land based units will be decimated by bombs from United States aircraft.
41. To coin a phrase...
Tim ,   Brighton   (02.08.12)
The Lunatics have taken over the 'Entity' Asylum in Teheran Now Ive heard just about everything! What will they claim next..Conquer the world? Take over the Americas, colonise Mars... These morons in power have gone from the sublime to the totally ridiculous... Whats bizarre now are reports that even people closest to Khamenei now believe Ahmadinejad is a real and present threat to Khamenei and a threat to the well being and security of Iran. And despite the ridiculous extreme outbursts of Khamenei deep down he is still a shrewd operator and knows what he has to do to keep the Islamic Republic, Iran and himself alive And it is only when Ahmadinejad is removed and made the fall guy..that Khamenei has a chance to wipe the slate clean and start afresh in relations with the world community. But he DOESNT HAVE MUCH TIME As for Irans Nightmare on TWO LEGS....Ahmedinejad in as few as 6 years to satisfy his macho lust for militiary power has virtually bankrupted Iran not only for now but for possibly DECADES by embarking on totally irrational nuclear enrichment for weapons, an unprecedented build up of the military and huge eye wateringly generous gifts' for Hezbollah Hamas Taliban..and even possibly corrupt politicians ALL THIS ON THE PRETEXT that the world hates Iran! What monkey brained logic! What an utter mess...
42. Iran, Syria "our friends"
cyla stern ,   woodmere, USA   (02.08.12)
iran would strike first if they would be able to. Of course, Lavrov has been giving support not only to Syria but also to Iran. Russia invested a lot of money to those countries and they want to get back what they invested.
43. IRAN'S THREAT
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa   (02.08.12)
The US will not strike Iran nor it will allow Israel to do it either while we have a muslim in chief in the white house. Just sayin.
44. THE IRANIAN PEOPLE, WITHIN IRANIAN TERRITORY, THE U.S. ''ISR
A WONDER-SJOERD R. ,   MULTIVERSE   (02.08.12)
''ISRAEL'', THE REST OF THE PLANET OF EARTH, WITH IT''S POPULATION/PEOPLE AND SO ON...IT WAS/IS IN PRINCIPLE, ALSO IN THAT CASE, GRADUALLY, AT LAST TIME/A NECESSARITY, FOR INTERNATIONALLY/GLOBAL MEDIATION/MEDDLING, IF NEED BE, ON (A) SUPRA-NATIONAL LEVEL, TO AVOID A/ANOTHER DICTATORSHIP, A HUMAN WAR/DISASTER IN THE INTEREST/FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERY PEOPLE, THE ENTIRE HUMANITY, FOR THE/OUR FAMILY OF MANKIND.
45. To: No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.08.12)
When the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York was destroyed on September 11, 2001, Iran did not call it an act of terrorism. The Iranians called it a great day for Islam. Tall buildings are tall buildings, whether in New York or in Teheran. If the Iranians didn't consider the destruction of the World Trade Center to be an act of terrorism, they can hardly call the destruction of any tall Iranian buildings terrorism, now, can they? That would be inconsistent and intellectually unsustainable.
46. To: David at No. 43
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.08.12)
I respect your sentiment, but Israel doesn't take its marching orders from the United States.
47. I'm sure the U.S. army is shaking in it's collective boots.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.08.12)
I'm sure the American army is shaking in it's collective boots over the ludicrous Iranian threat. As if the Iranian army, bested by Saddam Hussein, has any chance against America.
48.  a thousand here a thousand there
avramele   (02.08.12)
...and will the oldest Jewish community in the diaspora, the tens of thousands of Jews in Iran be unfortunate collateral damage? Let's pray that sanctions work even as we must prepare for stiffer action.
49. To: No. 48
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.08.12)
The oldest Jewish community in the Diaspora are the Jews of Yemen. It is a small community, to be sure, but it is the oldest one.
50. kameinei
iraj   (02.08.12)
get your plane ready for moscow where you can join soon ex president putin who navalry willl get rid of as he fooled yeltsin into appointing him. kameinei is running scared. all tyrants especially islamic talk tough and in a threatening manner. Remember saddam and his foreign miniister. Obama will cut your heads off so be careful with your words. And israel who king cyrus dealt with when there was no such thing palestinians, israel is just waiting for you to launch an attack as it is has a long memory and will hurt you big time. kameinei-watch your jewish president ahamadinejad sabjourian as he is feeding your secrets to israel under the table. watch out for persian patriots who will tear you apart limb from limb when they are joined by important generals.
51. of course Israel will win.......
gays4Israel   (02.08.12)
however, these jihadists will go after Jewish/Israeli/American targets worldwide. Are we ready for that ?
52. Unlikely...
musicwriter4life ,   Comanche, Tx USA   (02.09.12)
The US would nuke Iran and turn it into a glass parking lot for Iraq if Iran tried to get too crazy on the "retaliation..."
53. HEBREW HUBRIS
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (02.09.12)
I enjoy reading the talkbacks of those who say "bring it on" and are sure of an Israeli victory: The junkyards of history are filled with the wrecks of armies that thought they are invincible. I served in the IDF.. It is a mediocre army, but filled with first class hubris. However, as Amir Peretz found out, it is difficult to see reality when you forget to remove the covers from your binoculars. Google "amir peretz" and "binoculars" and click "images" to see for yourselves.
54. This Comment
Dave In Arizona ,   USA   (02.09.12)
Obama doesn't need to lift his finger to scratch his behind; he has Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi for that.
55. BUFOON (sic) MAN
Dave In Arizona ,   USA   (02.09.12)
Your screen name is very appropriate. You certainly are a buffoon of the first order.
56. Chaim's comment
Dave In Arizona ,   USA   (02.09.12)
Chaim, I really do believe the US Army IS shaking in its collective boots; however, the shaking is the result from laughing to hard.
57. Thus says Khamamenikazi
Sam   (02.09.12)
Has a death wish for the entire country
58. #27 henry
solomon ,   bklyn   (02.09.12)
The post is to “bearded fools.” You may be bearded, but you are obviously no fool.
59. #33 ken
solomon ,   bklyn   (02.09.12)
If Israel was going to use nukes they would have used them already. If you trust Israel and Iran the same, you are foolish. It is Iran that threatens Israel’s annihilation. Syria and Iraq also threatened. Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran with the same threats of total destruction. Lebanon is now Hezbollahland. Gaza is now Hamas, sworn to Israel’s destruction. Read some current events, then post.
60. What kind of a country is Iran ?
Haim ,   TA   (02.09.12)
Yes im sure they do, a backwards country led by a lunatic who is wouldnt even get a part in the planet of the apes.
