If the new IAEA assessment of Tehran's nuclear behavior were a report card, most of the grades would be F's.

Regardless if Iran is building a nuclear weapon or not he wants Israel off the face of the world . would you really want a person like this to have a womd? mmmmmm never mind it doesnt matter what any of you say because its not only the usa that dissagree's with Iran its going to be the entire UN including russia and china. Pull your heads out of your arses you iranian nuthuggers and get with it.

    What a pity you Americans don't grow up and realise that to leave murderers alive if proven guilty causes the wrath of God to fall on ones nation. Perhaps the curent spate of disasters is proof of such folly. It may be that this combined with the pressurebeing put on Israel to cede land won in defensive legal conflict is also a factor. God [ the great God Jehovah] will have his way. His laws are not violated without results.. Bro Robt.

    I didn't bother to read this yellow journalism precisely because ritewingers have been calling for war on Iran and asserting Iran will have nuclear weapons but lack actual definitive proof.
    NPT states that Iran can develop a nonweapons based nuclear energy program. But America allowed Iran to sign that when Iran was run by the Shah. It hates that the ayatullahs have the claim to the NPT and any nuclear capability, even peaceful.
    And the American ritewing wants to play out its Shock Doctrine on Iran so American corporations can go through its hording and pillaging of the American coffers in 'nation building' and 'warmaking'.

    I say, Iran has ever right to nuclear energy. And they can leave the NPT and develop nuclear weapons if they want. America is a greedy, increasingly oppressive, torturing, hypocritical empire which acts toward Iran like its neighboring Kansas. Get out of the Middle East. Get out of Central Asia (both regions America is pursuing imperial 'nation building' and global supremacy through controlling the world's energy reserves). Take care of yourselves.

    Remember back on September 11th, 2001. Bush addressed the nation, and said specifically: "You're either with the international community, or you're against us on the War on Terrorism." There is no in-between, indecision isn't acceptable when human lives are at risk. Iran is a Terrorist nation, they kill homosexuals for being homosexual, and mask it by adding rape or drug trafficking charges to their death sentances. Iran has no need for 3,000 nuclear centerfuges. If they acted civil (the Iranian Government), they could purchase the materials or exchange oil reserves for Plutonium rods. Saddam was a documented murderer, Ahmadinejad is a documented murderer. Anyone who sympathises with those people ought to be exiled or executed for Treason, if those individuals live within the United States' borders. You're either against us, or you're with us.

      Tony, you say there is no in-between. It sounds like there is nothing in-between your ears. George Bush is a documented murderer! As Governor of Texass, he executed more American Citizens than any Governor in American History. There is no in-between. He had the power to kill American Citizens or let them live. He (the Decider)decided to have them killed. There is no in-between.

    • Posted By: Iggy103 @ 11/19/2007 9:27:02 AM

      Hey, Tony! Your wonderful, war dodging, patriotic, egomaniac American President Bush executed more American citizens(as Governor of Texass)than any American Governor in History. Another acomplishment I'm sure he's proud of.

    World war III is what Dick Cheney is proposing. Many Americans have been deceived and believe that Bombs are the only answer to every issue in the world. Unfortunately, Ahmadinejad and his government are much better politicians than Bush and his administration. Ahmadinejad never called for the destruction of Israel, he said Zionism should be depressed in this day-and-age, but many Americans do not know the difference. There are Jewish representatives in the Iranian parliament to voice Jewish rights in Iran today. Ahmadinejad never claimed that there are no gays in Iran, he said we do not have your gay-issues. Iran is the only country in the world, in which the state pays for a transsexual operation! Not the Scandinavians, Swiss or France, but Iran. However, let us hope for a peace loving Israel and a change of government in Iran and US.

    • Posted By: observer101 @ 11/18/2007 8:57:35 PM

      And Ahmadinejads propaganda machine also said that he was welcomed in Americas college with open arms when actually he was humiliated. Thank God. You Iranians that think that your president is so intelligent have another thing coming. Any one who threatens other nations esp. super powers is asking for total annihalation. Keep allowing that fool to ruin his country. Soon he will be putting our weapons where his mouth is.

    This article is nothing but another excuse to go to war with Iran. Yes, Iran is undemocratic and executes homosexuals but remember red China also executes dissenters and forces abortion. Come on, please don't buy this garbage. Please read Scott Ritter's book: Target Iran and stop buying these Neo-Con Repulican liars excuses to kill even more of my fellow American soldiers.

      I dont know why you would mention homosexuals, dissenters and abortion; none are mentioned in the article. Its about a dangerous nation acquiring nuclear weapons and threatening their neighbors (Israel) with destruction. STOP THE ENRICHMENT IRAN!!!!!!!

    Do Shites get along with Sunnis? No and why not because Sunnis beleive that Shites killed Mohammads grandson. If they still fight each other over something that no one alive knows what happend ,then how do you reason with people like that. If they think I believe they need nuclear power when they have the second largest oil reserve then they are mistaken and gambling with they life. Oh and by the way religous intolerance has started more than one war.

    Its quite funny how you talk about the violent, dangerous Iranians Tony, then pause for breath before exclaiming we should execute anyone who disagrees with you because they.....what, don't deserve to live? It somehow became YOUR America, instead of OUR America? It's evil, meglomaniacal, kill-happy people like you that make the world a scary place.

  • Posted By: TonyKiemel @ 11/17/2007 5:55:05 PM

    Again, I restate the following: If you live in America, and chant Death To America, you should be put to death for Treason. After all, Treason has, and still is a capital crime, punishable by death. Why? Because there's a line one must draw when deciding what is and isn't appropriate freedom of speech. Patriotism is at an all time low because of political correctness. I say we should do this: Drop propaganda fliers throughout the nation of Iran, hijack news and radio communications, and offer Ahmadinejad the ultimatum we gave Emperor Hirohito in World War II, "We call upon the Government of Japan(Iran) to proclaim now the unconditional surrender of all the Japanese(Iranian) armed forces, and to provide proper and adequate assurances of their good faith in such action. The alternative for Japan(Iran) is prompt and utter destruction."

    Why would Iran want nuclear energy when it has large oil reserves? SO THEY CAN SELL THAT OIL TO THE US. We have way more nuclear fuel remaining to be exploited than we do petroleum, so Iran is actually making the smart financial move by trying to free his country from the ever increasing energy costs of oil, while maximizing his nations economic benefit from the dwindling fossil fuel reserves.

    Hello
    Are we nuts,this man given the chance will take us to new heights. but along with these highs' there will be dust that will kill millions. When will the US get the reputation not to be played for fools. He wants nuclear weapons? Set one or two off somewhere close to him and his croony and show this fool just how bad these things are.

    First of all, most of us know the US government controls the IAEA and to a large extend the UN. Why should the Iranians put all their designs on the table. This is serious technology. The US does not even want to disclose where is has secret prisons around the globe to the general public or anybody else. There is no technology in that. Iran has been under the gun by US officials since day one, been accused of nuclear bomb development since day one. Why should they co-operate with anybody at all.

    We also know that the US supplied Pakistand with much of it's nuclear technology back in the day. Pakistand has had it's deals with N Korea and certainly with Iran too. Point is, the US made deals against all rulings against nuclear technology. Why is the US not under fire for it's nuclear activities. Because we have the means to threaten most individual countries around the globe with financial threats, military force and such.

    We are loosing pace with the rest of the world. Our currency is loosing value, we are under threat of ecconomic colapse every three to four months. We have already lost respect from most individual around the world. If we as a nuclear power keep threatening other countries, I see no reason why they should not persue nuclear powers too.

    The Bush administration lied about all the WMD's in Iraq and facilitated the murder of Saddam. They seem to want to make the same mistake again by stating that the Iranian leadership should be handled the same way. Exactly where would that bring us? What would that benifit us? Access to oil , more dead American soldier, oh and some purple heart recipients, and more dept.

    If we gave Saddam a trillion dollars, we may have been able to sure his friendship and all the oil in Iraq. We created more enemies than you can shake a stick at, detroyed families, murdered thousands of civilian people and enriched many politicians with the trillion dollars we have spend on the "War against terror"

    In my opinion, Iran has the right to nuclear energy. The US authorities has no right to accuse Iran of wanting to build Nuclear weapons. The UN and IAEA are extensions of the US and what they say is pretty much the US talking. Find another way to deal with Iran without being abrassive.

    • Posted By: bryonblr @ 11/17/2007 4:31:53 AM

      No! Actually your country (Iran) (So obvious!) Your leader threatens to wipe Israel off the map every couple months. In other words???Lets kill millions of people.

    I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE ZIONIST IS BEHIND EVERYTHING THAT OCCURS IN THE WORLD WETHER IS DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN IT HAS TO DO WITH ISRAEL. THEY ARE THE BULLIES OF THE WORLD AND THERE SO CALLED THE AMERICANS ARE THE PUPPET OF ISRAELS. WITHOUT AMERICA ZIONIST WOULDN'T EXIST AND TO THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ISLAM YOU GUYS NEED TO LEARN IT BEFORE YOU START CRITICIZING IT OK.

      You sound like a real bitter and unhappy person. With so much resentment - millions are going to die when your hateful nation acquires the bomb. Everyone would be up in arms if America called for the annihilation of Iran. I guess its ok for Iran to call for the destruction of Israel-its justified. I???ll pray for you.

  • Posted By: bryonblr @ 11/17/2007 4:05:10 AM

    My comment is in response to the one below. A nuclear Iran will lead to World War III or small nuclear exchange. Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel and he is Hitler reborn. He has stated repeatedly for the destruction of millions of Jews. My God- He is warning the world about his plans. Let???s launch a couple of nukes at Israel in name of Allah. Isn???t there a holy war declared? The world will not tolerate a nuclear Iran and if Russia and China decide to stall on peaceful sanctions, then some countries will have no choice but to go to war. We are right at their doorstep; we should take care of the nuclear problem before we leave Iraq and Afghanistan and save the taxpayers money for redeployment. No one wants war but Iran with a nuclear bomb is unthinkable. A nuclear Iran will not bring stability to the region, a nuclear Iran will have the means to deliver its hate in the form of a mushroom cloud.

    A nuclear Iran may bring stability and peace to the world. Israel has rejected every peace initiative and even killed Isaac Robin in order to carry on the apartheid of the Palestinians. With American taxpayers money Israel is building settlements on illegal land and with the lives of American Marines Israel is fighting wars on several grounds. Israel has no rival and wants no peace. A powerful Iran would encourage Israel to settle for peace and America will no longer need to carry on wars for Israel. The people of Iran will kick Islam out of Iran once there is no threat from outside.
