1. The Teheran letter?
Israeli 2   (02.17.12)
It is nothing more than a ruse. Americans and Europeans have no intestinal fortitude. God bless Israel for being the smartest nation on Earth. If I was KING of Israel, I would not hesitate removing the governments of Turkey and Iran immediately. NOW
2. IRAN, U.S.A., E.U.
SJOERD RUURD... ,   MULTIVERSE   (02.18.12)
IN PRINCIPLE, ALSO IN THAT CASE, IF IT IS NECASSARILY (ALSO IRAN HAS AN ENTIRE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION''S MEMBERSHIP), THAT THE U.N.O. MEDIATES/MEDDLES IN SUCH AN ISSUE IN THE INTEREST OF THE WORLD-POPULATION/MANKIND, SINCE 1945, A.S.O...

we all know they are buying time. It wont work for them !
4. #1 And what will be the Israeli response?
TaylorT ,   Earth   (02.18.12)
The whole world is waiting for the response of Israel to this 'existential threat' (instead of just whining and trying to get others to do its dirty work for it.) And if you're going to tell me that Israel IS going to be doing some kind of attack, by all means tell me when you think it's going to happen. Because I have yet to get one of you hyper-nationalist Israeli right-wingers to give me a definite timeline. I suppose you know as well as I that when push comes to shove Israel isn't going to do a damn thing (mainly because it can't.)

6. the Teheran letter

Yishar Koach, Israeli, And what is possible to expect from two white older women, who are presumtpious (and foolish) enough to try dealing with Persian Rug dealers - likely the most ruthless band - in trade and politics !!
7. Beyond belief !
Mladen Andrijasevic ,   Beer Sheva, Israel   (02.18.12)
This is beyond belief!. That the Europeans and the US are yet again accepting to be manipulated by Iran is an indicator that they have no idea how dangerous this policy is. Don’t Clinton and Ashton realize that the mutually assured destruction MAD doctrine does not work with Iran? Google MAD is Dead www.madisdead.blogspot.com President Obama, the emperor, has no clothes. Finally there he is - exposed by events in Syria in all his ignorance and naiveté. But what about us in Israel? We still have to bear the consequences of his absurd policies. Our Prime Minister has to maneuver between the apocalyptic villain Ahmadinejad and his narcissistic useful idiot. He must defeat the madman and outmaneuver the fool! What a nightmare! Update :45 min ago we in Be’er Sheva heard the sirens and had to take cover in our safe room. To read this detached from reality policy on Iran of the American administration is really scary 3 rockets land outside Beersheba; no injuries (11:38 , 02.18.12)
8. #7 And what are YOU doing?
Cynthia ,   Canada   (02.18.12)
Your post is one long complaint about how other nations aren't coming to rescue Israel. Really, why should they? All nations are responsible for their own security--didn't anybody ever teach you this? If nothing else, you think history would have. I also find it interesting that you whine about the US and Obama who have done---BY FAR---more to help Israel in regards to the Iranian situation than any other nation. Ungrateful much? Israel doesn't have many friends/allies and people like you are keeping it that way.
9. #7: "We still have to bear the consequences"
esnuffnstl ,   USA   (02.18.12)
Indeed we do. And a possible consequence for a military strike on Iran could be a huge ME war (one that could see far more Israelis killed than if no strike occurs.) And because it will almost certainly be American planes doing the bombing, and American pilots at risk, the Commander-in-Chief of the US military has the reponsibility to explore all options to rid Iran of its potential to build nuclear weapons before military action is taken. Not good enough for you? Then by all means lobby your leaders to take action. I know if the US felt there was an existential threat to our nation we would take action to stop it.
