- Why are the American media not reporting that the US has finally released the 5 Iranian diplomats after more than 2 years of illegal imprisonment and probably torture?
Americans don't like being shown what America really stands for, do they? - Reply to this comment

"The Iranians, whom the Americans accused of being senior operatives of Iran?s Quds Force, an elite unit of Iran?s Revolutionary Guards, have been a point of contention for the United States, Iran and Iraq ever since they were seized in a predawn raid in the northern Kurdish city of Erbil in January 2007."
Accussed of helping to kill our soldiers. Torture? Prove it or keep your remakrs to yourself.
- They were released without charge after years of illegal imprisonment! In civilised countries everyone is innocent until proved guilty...... IS AMERICA CIVILISED OR NOT?
You won't answer that of course, because you know the real truth of American morality and justice.

It depends on whom is doing the 'finger pointing'.

- What about Israel and the nukes? How many nukes do they have and how did they get them. Why are they so kept out of any discussions?

- The demonstrators will need to learn that to stop the vigilantes they need to take the batons away from them and beat them with it. Of course easy for us to say. I would like to hear more from our President other than he is 'deeply concerned'. Iran needs to be isolated. No talks, no diplomatic channnels, nothing. Until they recognize the evil of their ways. How about a total embargo. Get that passed by the UN. Good luck.

- I would rather that Obama stays "Deeply concerned" as opposed to us becoming embroiled in the political process that ultimately will decide Irans fate for the forseeable future. Russia has as much to lose in this as we do but you don't see them jumping into the 'fray'...
Its easy to get into a fight any time we want, Getting out is where we have problems, (isn't that right shrub?)

- What I don't get is why aren't the western countries and Israel descarmbling cell phones and internet in Iran? Why not give the freedom fighters the slightest help by at least giving them the means to communicate with one another? What are we so fearful of the thug mullahs?

- We have to be careful, We did that for Afghanistan when the Russians occupied the country and you see the thanks we get. They got mad because we didn't 'rebuild' their country and give them billions in aid after they/we ran the Russians out.
You need to remember that 'Todays "Freedom Fighter" may be "Tomorrows Terrorist"!!!!!!!
Besides, we have done enough meddling in the Mid East to last for the rest of 'this' century...

- At the planned time for gatherings, there was so far no sign of demonstrations in Tehran. Groups of uniformed policemen stood at intersections and plainclothes Basiji militiamen were seen all along Revolution Street and nearby Tehran University, some of the sites where protests were called.
I was just wondering how FREAKING LONG a repetitive propaganda campaign that repeats at length about nothing new or relevant can continue. This isn't a news story anymore by any stretch of imagination. This is like a media diary mind-**** that has reached such a saturation point that it's dripping with the mundane.
And what's really frightening is the utter lack of transparency to report on what's painfully obvious, the total proclivity. It's like the American Propagandist has an agenda and here it is, in your face. Your constitutional guarantee for a free press doesn't mean ****. AIPAC and friends aren't going to stop, particularly while they thrive at U.S. taxpayer and Constitutional expense, and there's nothing you can do about it except wonder why the real story right in your face about media influence and involuntary taxpayer buy-in towards the destruction of their own free press guarantees will never see the light of day when it matters most. - Reply to this comment

- There's a group of fine fellows who meet in the Alabama woods who share your sentiments. They also share a lot of other things. Maybe you could get a summer share and go antiquing.
- Let's catalogue the people who share your feelings: Aryan Nations, the KKK, the American Nazi Party, a couple of prison gangs, a couple of holocaust-deniers and the Jihadists currently at war on six continents.
Proud company to keep, perhaps the finest you've associated-with? Don't know the full depths of your secret friendships.
- What Obama is doing will work better than what the Republicans have done in the past or did you forget We'll go it alone.
That went well didn't it ask the dead in Iraq thanks for lying to us GOP we haven't forgot it. - Reply to this comment
- This is PERFECT ! The Ayatollah is trying to use the very tactics against his own people that he uses against us.
Talk about stupid. This WILL foment an underground against his government. Sheese - I knew that the Ayatolla and Ahmadinejad were stupid, but I didn't think they'd want to kill themselves for nothing.
Thanks Ayatollah baby, and no thanks to Barry.
Unfortunately the underground will remember Barry's lack of action. Voting Present in this case is voting "nay". - Reply to this comment

- Dear Supreme Leader of Iran, remember that President Obama is "apalled" by your behavior, that he is "concerned" by the crackdown, that he is "bearing witness," and that he is "waiting to see how things play out." So try to keep your rhetoric down as you go about conducting mass arrests, executions, persecutions. If you play your cards right, you still may be invited to the White House.

- And Israel will smash the nukes and the thugs will be nukeless, but no worries, they have razorblades and batons and they sure know how to kill their own people.
