Timeline Iran Nuclear Chronology Events in development of Iran's nuclear program since it first came to light.
Ahmadinejad said the report by the International Atomic Energy Agency vindicated Iran and warned that Tehran would take unspecified "reciprocal measures" against any country that imposed additional sanctions against Iran.
The IAEA report said several past questions about Iran's nuclear program had been resolved, but highlighted Tehran's continued refusal to halt uranium enrichment.
"The best way for them (the U.S. and its allies) to compensate for their mistakes ... (is) to apologize and pay compensation," said Ahmadinejad in a televised address to the nation.
"If they continue (to pursue sanctions), we have definitely drawn up reciprocal measures," added Ahmadinejad, without elaborating.

- We must confront the threat posed by Iran''s warped, hostile, hate-filled, PRIMITIVE, and religiously damaged leaders, as these Islamofascists continue to test our resolve.
It is after all, our duty to express our views to our representatives in Washington. - Reply to this comment
- Dealing with such mentality in current times is nearly impossible. Woe is to us if the prime troublemaker/rogue nation of Iran is not denied nuclear technology.

And thats the problem with the illegals in this country.
They don''t have the sophistication to live here,,, - Reply to this comment
- It has been brought to our attention that Moslem thinking has not yet emerged, and most significantly IS NOT ALLOWED TO EMERGE, from a very backward era. In fact, fear, revenge, hatred and punishment, factors in greatly to virtually every aspect of Islamic thinking.
It would not be exaggerating if it is stated that:
''Islam continues to remain primitive and war-like. Also, Islam has yet to emerge, especially in regard to the way women are treated, or more accurately, the way Moslems supress, control and abuse their women.''
Dealing with such mentality in current times is nearly impossible. Woe is to us if the prime troublemaker/rogue nation of Iran is not denied nuclear technology. - Reply to this comment

Well, not to burst your bubble, but I am not going sit here in fear of a **** ant little country that doesn''t even have a nuke, when we are sitting on megatons of it.
Especially since we have almost as big a dipwit running our country as is running Iran. To me that''s even scarier. Thank goodness he''ll be gone in a few months and don''t let him lead us into another war.
If he goads Iran into annihlating our Fifth Fleet and sacrificing those soldiers his behind will hang for it!
But go ahead and cower if fear if you want to. - Reply to this comment

There are more than few participants here, who are very uninformed re the grave danger that warped, treacherous, deceptive Iranian leaders pose to each and every living organism on this planet. The best way to reach these individuals is to present any messages, ideas, etc, without emotional reaction.
In the meantime, keep communicating! - Reply to this comment
- BEWARE OF IRANIAN DECEPTION: OUR WORLD''''S GREATEST CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER IS STARING US IN OUR FACES
Whether it be one or another ''brandname'' of religion, any fair, logical, reasonable or rationale attempt to apply respect and/or recognition in regard to the ''UNDERSTANDING AND CONCEPTUALIZATION'' process, is doomed from the start. Such clouded, tainted, AND INDEED WARPED religious thinking, ELIMINATES chances for both reasoning and reality.
Most, if not ALL attempts to negotiate and resolve conflict and/or differences, are destined to fail if religious basis continues to cripple and paralyze the concerned parties'' ability to think clearly and fairly. Rather than willingness to find solutions, the "My god tells me that I must MURDER AND DIE FOR" clause and BELIEF, continues to be invoked!
It is more than apparent, that death and destruction is the preferred way of irrational, religious ''faithfools.''
The forgoing MUST BE borne in mind at all times as it relates to THE EXTREME DANGER THAT IRAN''S RULING, NUKE-PROCURING OFFICIALS AND CLERICS, POSE TO THE ENTIRE WORLD!!! Accordingly, Iran''s ability to produce NUCLEAR MATERIALS MUST BE PREVENTED at a relatively low current toll/cost WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY, BEFORE IRAN ''RELIGIOUSLY'' IMPOSES ITS WILL AGAINST THE WESTERN FREE WORLD. - Reply to this comment
- Titled:
STRONG, HARSH MEDICINE URGENTLY NEEDED AGAINST CONTINUING IRANIAN DECEPTIONS
The easy way out - which almost invariably is more costly, more dangerous and more deadly SOON THEREAFTER - is not the correct way or the best way to address conflict. At best, taking the easy, short-term route, is done to appease evildoers, until either their demands on us are greater or worse, or until they are able to inflict more death and destruction upon us.
If a rogue nation - particularly IRAN - is developing nuclear weapons technology, that weapons technology MUST BE taken out NOW, at a relatively small cost. Otherwise, the price we''ll have to pay later will be FAR WORSE!
Our responsible Western world leaders MUST take all necessary action TO STOP IRAN''S NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES, which unfortunately includes THOROUGH military action NOW - Reply to this comment

I have a cousin like him--can''t get anything through to her either.
My take is --if you can''t listen with an open mind--I''m not listening to your "scripture and verse" stuff--I know most of it. - Reply to this comment
- I and many other "christians" make every effort to live by the 10 Commandments--but we don''''t try to put ourselves "above" anyone else by covering up our weaknesses with quoting scripture!
Your religion is too "verbatim" as are the Extremist Muslims.

I am,,every day.. With Bayer,,,,and K-Y !! - Reply to this comment
- Rick, you keep repeating the same things in every post--absolutely the same stuff. That is the way you have been "trained".
You can quote scripture and verse after scripture and verse, thats the way you have been trained.
The way the truth and the light--is the way you have been trained.

- Oh and by the way, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has helped more countries on this planet than ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
Funny however that you fail to bring up that fact.

Oh,,,? I did bring that up,,in a earler post. Did you miss it? - Reply to this comment
- he has protected us from evil since 9-11-01
He has "controlled" that Rick! - Reply to this comment
- "Live and let live" doesn''''t mean letting evil overthrow innocence.
If that were the case the USA would never need a military.
George Washington was a devout Christian and he fought and won in the Revolutionary War.

(sigh,,with chin hitting my chest)
If all of humanity,, would just,,,Live , and let Live,,we wouldn''t have all these wars,,,and in general,, world strife.
WHY,,,can;t you except that????
And Bush,,and other world leaders,,,are at fault,,by not living by these standards...
If you were a Christian,,you''d have no problem with this concept!! - Reply to this comment
- They have taken on the great power of God--however that power is not the power that Jesus taught. He did not teach people to hate and make war -- He taught exactly the opposite of that.
Religion is good for many people, but in the extreme, it is volatile.
Posted by liberalme at 07:09 PM : Feb 24, 2008
Exactly,,,To Live, and Let Live,,,,and ,,I did leave out one thing, in my other post,,,which is to Love thy neighbors. Which could interpreted as other countries as well..
Except,, no one does/will do that! - Reply to this comment
- The problem is, there are many different religions, few however are "extreme" religions.
When one is raised in an extremist religion, such as Muslim or like the Christian right--they are taught and told early on, what to believe and how to interprete what they read, akin to being brainwashed.
With christians however, they really do get to chose which of the 10 commandments they live by and have interpreted what God admonished enabled them to hate.

- Are you a Christian?
Posted by singinrick at 06:37 PM : Feb 24, 2008
And I''m going to ask you the same question,,,Are you a Christian?
This country was founded on Christian principles,,,but with separation of church and state.
Our founding fathers were Christians,,but realized that "Religion" can kill just as many people, as fascists,,communists,,, or whatever type of government you could name.
A real Christian,,,would,,Live, and let Live. It''s that simple,,if you follow Jesus Christ.
He says it differently,,but it''s the same message! - Reply to this comment
- Like most "sane" people do.
