1. must appreciate Iran even if
Amos J   (10.03.12)
must appreciate Iran even if they are the enemy. At least the have the guts to stand up against Obama & the West. Unlike Israeli politicians who are bending over backwards to lick Obama's boots. Even Netanyahu & Barak have now jumped on the bandwagon and started kissing Obama's boots....pathetic situation.
2. IRANS STUBBORNESS
lou ,   laguna woods USA   (10.03.12)
Dear Leaders... You say that you will not bend to world pressure.. BUT.. Are you feeling the same pain your citizens are feeling.. Are you going hungry or without heat or light.. Do you worry about paying bills or inflation I believe your people do and they would like to become more secure about tomorrow. I have never heard you address the people feeling. Nationalism us wonderful.. but at what Cost
3. Netanyahu & Barak
Dan Goldman   (10.03.12)
Netanyahu & Barak now at each others throats over courting Obama's favor. What the buffoons have been saying for so long that "Israel would be responsible for its own security" ? Now the master has said "NO...throw Israel's security under the bus..my elections are more important", and they are grovelling like tow lap-dogs in front of Obama.
4. It will be great then to watch "your boat
DT ,   TA Israel   (10.03.12)
go down"
5. When the bombs start flying...
SE ,   Boston, USA   (10.03.12)
Please don't cry to the world when the bombs start flying and your nuclear program is pulverized. You had the opportunity to resolve this peacefully and you refused. The blame is all on you.
6. So, once you have dedided, israel has..
Nora Tel Aviv   (10.03.12)
...only 24 hours left to be destroyed. and the UN?
7. History Repeating Itself
Julie ,   Hashmo   (10.03.12)
This is exactly what their descendant Haman said! And we all know the end of that story...:)
8. the supremeless lead no where Who Is Out
(10.03.12)
Of touch, this mad mullah Doesn't Care How The people are eking out their Exsistence, while the dictator and cronies Live Like Cyrus at the people's expense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The iranian people are Just Cannon Foder to the ILLEGAL regime in tehran!
9. Yo ayatollah Baby You Think In 24 Hrs
(10.03.12)
You can Undo What Ha Shem Built? What Make You Think Israel Can't Erase you Monsters From The Book Of History???? Stupid AK haji!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10. What Exactly is Iran Standing Against.
ira ,   Ra'anana   (10.03.12)
To Amos in reply #1 I am very curious as to what the Iranians are upset about. The Americans, Pres. Carter, put them on the map and America has no designs on their country. They seem to be a very sad state with hatred for most people used to deflect from their own failures. I think that is the classic definition of antisemitism also.
11. Muslim rhetoric is as best quite pathetic!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (10.03.12)
Iran can "destroy Israel in a day". Syria has plans to "retake the Golan and destroy Israel and similar inanities ensue from the mouths of robed idiots with funny hats in Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Hamasstan (Gaza) and of course, that thing some call Palestine while others call it a cesspool of corruption and hatred of Israelis and Jews in particular! What is so stupid is that these idiots short of a village seem to think that Israel is going to sit back and watch the bombs fall as we did in the 1991 Gulf War! They just seem to be blinded by their own stupidity that they won't realize that, while Israel will suffer casualties it will be nothing compared to what Israel will do to those who attack, even on four fronts!
12. Each day Iranian threats become more unmasked and explicit
(10.03.12)
Clear that Iran's intentions are not peaceful or non belligerent . Each day the true purpose of Irans foreign policy becomes clearer, as is what they intend to do with any nuclear threat should they acquire it,
13. Khamenei...
Tim ,   Brighton   (10.03.12)
Is looking more and more like a tired doddering old spent force who just mouthes the same old worn out song,,,and tired old excuses to defend his apalling record So how does his song go? If the economy is in tatters Its the police state is what matters Even If the Rial shatters Dont blame it on the sunshine Dont blame it on the moonlight Blame it on Israel Iran for Eurovision!
14. Well then, will Khamenei bow to the cries of his people.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (10.03.12)
The Iranian people are HURTING. The cost of living is galloping out of their reach, while their leadership fritters away the resources of the country on maintaining legions of foreign terrorists outside the country. I hope there is a lot of grass in Iran because soon the Iranians will have to do like the N Koreans - eat grass while their leaders spread the wealth outside the country while sinking billions on nuclear plants they do not need.
15. #5
Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (10.03.12)
Are you referring to Iran? Or if you mean the Jewish State,the world would be doing the crying over the prostrate Iran after it is targeted by some of the Jewish State's nuclear bombs. Your knowledge of the Israel-Iran "dispute" is somewhat limited,but have a happy 5773.
16. The Cold Hard Facts
Jerry Diamond ,   Toronto Canada   (10.03.12)
Iran claims they can destroy Israel in 24 hours.Not Possible! I say Israel can destroy Iran in 1 hour because that is how long it will take for 3 nuclear missiles to reach Iran or maybe even less time from one of the Israeli nuclear submarines sitting off the coast of Iran. This will be over faster than the 6 day war! Once again the world will complain but breathe a sigh of relief that Israel did the job that no one else would undertake
17. #12 Don't Worry They Won't Aquire
(10.03.12)
nuc's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
18. THE IRANIAN DICTATORSHIP AND ISRAEL.
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   HOORN NH, HOLLAND   (10.03.12)
DOWN WITH THE IRANIAN CRIMINAL DICTATORSHIP AND THEIR MEGALOMANIC, IDIOTIC THREATS, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. VIVA THE ISRAELIAN AND THE IRANIAN/PERSIAN PEOPLE. MAY G.D BLESS YOU ALL.
19. If they really thought.....
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.03.12)
they could do it then they already would have tried. And failed.
20. Iran and israel
Matty izeck ,   Denver,colorado,USA   (10.03.12)
In my view i see if israel attacks iran while war in syria,the middle east will be a war torn region affecting the entire asia.iran and israel will be the worst enemies than jews and muslims or palestinians and israelis.iran can halt nuclear path by economic sanctions not war.iran will ally with hezibollah and the notorious al qaeda branch of yemen.the world wont love to see middle east war on israel
21. Looks like the ayaTOILET is worried ...
Alfredo ,   Raanana   (10.03.12)
22. sanctions aren't changing Iran's mind about destroying Israe
marilyn rosen ,   jerusalem Israel   (10.03.12)
B"H Notice how the people are against Iran giving money to Syria. No one is mentioning the nuclear energy expenses. The sanctions aren't doing anything to change Iran's mind about destroying Israel! Chas v shalom.
23. iran
ronit orlanski ,   australia   (10.04.12)
no. 21 - you summed it up beautifully !
24. 24 Hours?.... Hmmmm.....
musicwriter4life ,   USA   (10.04.12)
If I-half-ran so much as TRIES to destroy Israel in 24 hours, Israel will destroy them in 24 microseconds!
25. Khameni, God does not love you.
deidra ,   israel   (10.04.12)
Face it. God loves Israel!
26. Amos #1
Jerome ,   AKL   (10.04.12)
They are oil rich producers and exporters. This makes " the difference" The nations of the world will lick the boots of every single Jew on earth if we had a magic formulae to replace crude oil, or if we found it in the Negev by sheer luck.
27. After the conflict
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (10.04.12)
the invented state of Iran must be partitioned, into a Persian core state, and independent satellite regions of kurds, beludsh, azeris etc. Never again such a danger for the world's security !
28. Bow to pressure?
Tim ,   Brighton   (10.04.12)
Nobody is demanding Iran to bow to anyone... All we are demanding is that Iran is fully transparent about its nuclear ambitions and acts like a sane and rational member of the gobal community As for Khamenei so far he has been a great dissapointment. The hope would have been that at least HE would be above the fray and be the one person who could steer Iran a course out of its troubled waters The hope was that he would scapegoat Ahmadinejad to justify an about turn in policy that would help break sanctions and help Iran break out of its self imposed isolation Instead what we see is Khamenei trying to out Ahmadinejad Ahmadinejad...! Playing the game of Extemist One Upmanship...Who can be more extreme Khamenei or Ahmadinejad..to the point where they are both laughing stocks at home and abroad Does it resonate with the Iranian public? Are Iranians taken in by their Politics of Hate? Not any more...
