Comments on: The Prospect Of A Nuclear Iran

Close-Up On Iran's Relationship With Its Neighbors - And What That Means For The Mideast's Future

[kretos_d]

If the US invades Iran we should all march to the white house and congress and drag their ***** out and shoot them. This *** has to end now! This is not only about oil and the fall of the US economy, it is about world domination. I believe Hitler tried this once. The military industrial complex has taken over our country, our world, even space. I beg Europe, stay out so we learn this lesson. I served 2 *** years in Iraq for all lies!

[kretos_d]

i am sick of this hypocrisy !

[randynason]

But, Condie Rice-a-rona said "no" to Iranian nukes and we gotta listen to her ''cause she''s the Secretary, she''s credible and morally sound and... ahhh... a fascist, neo-conservative war criminal with nukes of her own but that''s OK ''cause she''s got "God on her side." WHEW!

[micma-2009]

If Iran is developing a nuclear weapon, we''re too bogged down in Iraq to do anything about it. Tuff ****** neocons.



lol!

"For the people of Israel, hostile neighbors come with the territory."
___________________

Let''s rephrase that: "For the people of Israel, hostile neighbors come with the territory Israel steals and tries to ethnically cleanse."

This article is typical Israel-first, America last agit-prop.

[closethippy1]

Israel is the only country in the Middle East to have nuclear weapons and they couldn''t care less about becoming part of the international organization that makes sure you''re not using your nuclear technology know-how to build nuclear weapons.
That''s the IAEA.
Iran is part of it. They''re a member of the IAEA, meaning they allow that agency to visit their nuclear facilities to make sure they''re not making nuclear bombs.
Israel is not part of it because they keep arguing they cannot trust anyone as if we still were living in the 1930''s.
Iran did keep its nuclear program secret and did not want to be part of the IAEA but all that happened during its 8 year war with Iraq when they were trying to bluff each other about their offensive capabilities.
Iran is therefore very upset they''re being accused by the very country that has nuclear weapons and has reacted with strong words. Israel then uses this show of anger as more evidence of Iran''s bad intentions.
Israel needs to cool it off and become a signatory to the IAEA.

Even if Iran is months away from producing enough fule for a bomb, it will take months if not years of testing to be able to create a functional bomb. And them more months to put one together that can be placed on a missile-load.

But the second a bomb is tested (underground), the whole world will know.

At that point it will be both legitamate and safe to attack them. It will be legitimate because at that point they have actually violated something, while right now they haven''t. And it will be safe because there is no way they can go from an underground test to a missile-load in immediately.

But talking about attacking them now is just rediculas. People will die for no reason. It will be worse than Iraq.

More Facts:

Iran is the only country in the middle east that was formed from a grassroots democratic revolution, yet our government has repeatedly tried to overthrow them (like when regean gave iraq biologial and chemical weapons and told saddamn to attack Iran in the 7 year war)

Secondly Iran has not attacked anyone in over 250 years.

Third they have repeatedly tried to talk to Bush but he has refused every time

The UAEA inspector has been allowed to inspect and install cameras in all of their governmental facilities and has repeatedly said that "there is no indication Iran is trying to develop a weapon"

Iran is has signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (israel has not)

The media and zionists are trying to once again spread propaganda in an attempt to pull the US into another illegal war!!

The only problem with the Iranian democracy is they overthrew a puppet dictator that we installed
People in our country need to stop being brainwashed, and start getting the facts otherwise these corrupt politicans on both sides of the fence will continue to exploit our country!

This article is blatant propaganda. The corporate media and the Bush Administration are using lies about iran to decieve and contort pulbic perception just like they did when getting us into Iraq.
Here are the facts:

The media and Bush Administration have lied and continued to lie about "iran wanting to destroy Israel. This is 100% false. What Ahmenajad said in real honest translation was that "Israel should not exist" (that is your snippet not that "Israel should be destroyed") Futhermore this comment was taken totally out of context, the real comment from Ahmenajad was that "israel should not exist in its current form today, where it occupies illegal territories from the 1967 war and has setup a 1.2 million person prison in the gaza strip."

The fact is he is right, Israel has been engaging in a relatively silent holocaust against the palenstinian, and lebanese peoples. Hamas is the result what happens when you have a totalitarian government subverting your people. like legendary professor Noam Chomsky says "the only way to stop terrorism is to stop sponsoring it" Israel and the US and Turkey have been sponsoring terrorism for decades in the middle east, southeast asia, and latin america.

Personally I would love to see Iran be turned into a radiating smoking hole in the Earth.

As the old saying goes,get them before they get us.

[sistatee-2009]

It''s only a matter of time. Everybody knows it. Before Iran gets a nuke, Israel will have to take steps. Ain''t no other way. The whole thing will be over in a few minutes unless other countries start pushing buttons.

[clestes-2009]

DemWatcher,

Get a grip. The biggest thing we have to fear is the possible bombing of a country that does NOT have a nuclear weapon. We did that once in this administration. Look at the disaster that caused.

Do ya really think we need to pay $7.00 at the pump for those non-existent WMD??

[clestes-2009]

This is a bunch of fear mongering by the definately right wing CBSNews.

7 months ago 16 intelligence agencies said Iran had halted its nuclear weapons program and had not re-started it. You can''t put together a nuclear bomb in the kitchen sink you know.

Another article to build up the fear so Iran can be bombed. Iran is NOT making a nuclear weapon, they have undergone inspections, answered questions. More so than any other country who signed the non-poliferation pact!!

This is a bunch of horsesh*t!!

"The fear of Iran''s increased nuclear capabilities has prompted the United States to radically switch gears and, for the first time in 30 years, actually sit at the same table with European and Iranian representatives.

Some view this as a major concession to what many consider a rogue government; others see it as the only way forward."

I think the Iranians are willing to sit with rogue governments, even the US. Particularly once the moron-in-chief (Mr. Axis-of-Evil, himself) is gone.

"Be afraid righties, be very afraid. Like your war-monger boy McSame.

What we don''''t need is religious fanatics with nukular weapons running around threatening other countries. I meant the United States of Amerikkka.

Be afraid, lefties, be very afraid. The life you enjoy and America you know will be gone with the lame policies and inexperience of Obumbadumba.

We don''t need a chickenhawk that threatens to be tough AND is willing to try to buy off a rogue nuclear state. He will crumple and go the easy route. Then, we lose the money, Iran will USE that money develop their nuclear capability, and Israel will be destroyed.

Oh, and be prepared to learn SPANISH!

[marshall65]

Only a neanderthal advocates ''nuking'' another country. We should be more worried about Pakistan and India but we turn a blind eye.
Don''t forget Russia and China are quietly watching all of this play out and don''t be certain they wouldn''t step in on Iran''s side. Then we''d really have a fight on our hands.

[libsluv2spit]
