Iranians have a 200 years of peaceful co-existence record with their neighbors, what do you have to show on this field that gives you the authority to lecture anyone? ,...
2. Very misleading article!
Nick Z ,   New York, NY   (09.21.14)
Misleading article. Sunni extremism is the biggest problem in the region now. Syria's legitimate government is secular. So was Iraq's government before the West's naive ideas about "moderate theocrats" imposing democracy. Syria remained a secular government even with Iranian support. Iraq and Libya had secular governments until the West tried to impose democracy and got "theocracy" instead. We went into Iraq to prevent Saddam from killing people, so we could enable the Sunni extremists to kill even more people? Will we repeat that stupidity in Syria? The West destroyed Libya and almost destroyed Egypt till al-Sisi took over. The moral is that only a strong secular leadership will keep the radicals suppressed, not the naive Western ideas of democracy where the U.S. keeps pestering al-Sisi for suppressing the MB while ignoring all the "moderate" rebels coming back to their home countries from Syria to engage in terrorism. The so-called "moderate" rebels that stupid congressmen want to give $500m to now. Leave Assad alone and go after ISIS.
3. the shia terror regime is devloping nuclear weapons
CJK   (09.21.14)
the shia terror entity is developing its own nuclear weapons and the ballistic missiles to deliver them. this regime is a totalitarian genocidal regime that wants to export the shia revolution to the entire region and beyond. the shia terror regime needs nuclear weapons in order to advance its hegemony over the region and beyond and in order to keep its totalitarian genocidal regime in place. this regime, motivated by hunger for power and by atavistic religious fanaticism will never give up its nuclear weapons program. hence, unless isis manages to acquire nuclear weapons, the shia terror regime remains the premier threat to the region and to world peace.

paranoia. The fact this author is channeling some Saud Salafi supporter of ISISL shows some Zionists can be as delusional and full of BS as some Jihadi cut-throat. No sunshine between Shaula and Al Baghdadi, the difference is Al Baghdadi is not a coward so he does not resort to BS.

... change some 'details' in your bio in regard to Jewish Brigade and your father serving there, they're based on bragging not on historical facts.
6. My opinion - Iran and Isis are one and the same
barbara ,   Haifa   (09.21.14)
We will see in the future if this is not the case, but I am willing to bet a lot on my premise. By the way, wasn't there a Greek goddess called Isis ?

8. #6 - learn some history
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (09.22.14)
ISIS is derived from Saudi Arabia''s ultra conservative form of Sunni Islam whereas Iran is Shi'a Islam. The two strongly dislike each other. Where does such deep ignorance about Islam come from?
9. #3 - FYI - Pakistan already HAS nukes
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (09.22.14)
and it has the ability to drop them on Israel. In addition AQ Khan has built nukes for Saudi Arabia (remember them - the ISIS bankers). The Saudis have Chinese DF-21 MRBM that are very capable of carrying AQ Khan's nukes to Israel. The ONLY question right now is where are Saudi Arabia's nukes? Are they already on the DF-21s? Or are they in hiding in the Kingdom or are they still in Pakistan. Israel's obsession with Iran is vastly misplaced because if Iran is neutered, the Saudis will be the big dogs and they practice an even more radical form of Islam. What will Israel do when the Saudis (also protected by the US) quietly tell Israel that they now have nukes?
10. #3 - Pakistan already HAS nukes
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (09.22.14)
And has the MRBM ability to attack Israel. There are also reports that Pakistan's AQ Khan has supplied nuclear weapons to Iran's Sunni opponent across the Persian Gulf to mount on the Chinese DF-21 MRBM missiles they already have. You are irrationally paranoid about the wrong country.
