Iran continues more defiant than ever if you read the information at link above.I think it's time to be more strong against that regime and not give them more time as the U.N is doing.

[Janice]

That is what they did with Saadam. Maybe Iran thinks they will get 13 resolutions to play with too. I don't think any country is afraid of the UN at all. If someone doesn't do something soon, Iran will hold all the cards.

[cycloneye]

Especially they can hold the oil card.

What do you propose to do? You have been very critical of what's being done right now, but I don't see any alternatives offered. What should happen right now to fix this issue?

Don't get me wrong, you don't have to have a comprehensive solution to point out that something isn't working, I'm just curious.

[Derek Ortt]

demand their unconditional surrender at this point. I'd rather the destruction be on them, instead of having a nuke go off like say in Miami

Iran rejects the Europeans offer.So what is next is the question?



This Iran President is a lunatic,crazy guy who can do anything crazy that may trigger military action anytime.

[Audrey2Katrina]

If we DON'T deal with this guy... it's going to be a revisit of Hitler in the late 30's... he is EXTREMELY dangerous, and one added thing--Hitler didn't have nukes... without action this NUT will!

Iran's President statement



More crazy talk from that lunatic.

[Audrey2Katrina]

Lunatic is THE word. Sadly, history DOES repeat itself. Back in the 30's you had der fuehrer insisting on the enemies around him, and that lands around had been "stolen" from his "Fatherland", back then the League of Nations blithely watched as this "lunatic" insisted on the entitlement his nation had to certain lands as he absorbed them one-by-one until the world was launched into the most horrific war in history. With some frightening modifications, we have this nutcase proclaiming how certain lands belong to other people... and has singled out one nation in particular for destruction. If the rest of the world sits on its hands again, refusing to learn the lessons of history, there will be a dreadful day of reckoning when these loons launch the Mideast into a nuclear apocalypse.

Like we say so many times on the other forums: It's not a matter of if... only of when. The major difference is something can be done to thwart their goals, and whether or not that is accomplished is the only IF in the equation.

What scares me is what other countries he has as friends. What we don't know is what he is planning and talking with other countries about.

I just hope he is not doing what the terrorists did, plan then strike, unknown to any of us.

from what i am hearing, iran is now making christians and jews wear special id's, like hitler did to jews in the 30's

As far as I can tell, this story is a hoax. None of the Israeli news sites I regularly check out (spanning the political spectrum) will confirm this story, and all have printed quotes from members of the Jewish community in Iran saying it's not true.

There is apparently some law (which doesn't appear to have passed yet) regulating that people can't dress too lightly in summertime (apparently the mullas are offended by too revealing summer wear).

For example, from debka.com:

The Iranian draft law which raised a world uproar was obtained Friday night, May 19, by DEBKAfile, and proved to contain no clause on a Yellow Star for Jews or special dress for non-Muslim minorities in its 13-clause text

May 19, 2006, 10:36 PM (GMT+02:00)

The outcry was sparked when Iranian exiles in Toronto reported to the Canadian National Post that Tehran had passed a law ordering Jews to wear the Yellow Star, Christians a red ribbon, and Zoroastrians a blue article of clothing.

Haroun Yeshaya, until recently head of Iran’s Jewish Committee, denied knowledge of such a clause.

However, the law has not been finally enacted, and speakers in the majlis debate proposed that non-Muslim minorities be made to wear distinctive clothes, yellow being the preferred color for Jews.

Other Jewish community leaders, lawmaker Moris Mo’tamed and the new community chairman, Rahmat Rafi, were unavailable for comment because of the Sabbath.

DEBKAfile’s Iranian expert says the report and the ensuing uproar against the clerical regime of Tehran may put the Iran’s 20,000 Jews at risk by giving President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fresh ammunition against the Jews and the Jewish state.

The bill in question aims primarily at countering the revolt against black Muslim dress” as the hot summer approaches and Iranians – especially women - take to light clothing. At the end of the majlis debate, the final draft will be put to the vote; with or without the proposed discriminatory clauses remains to be seen.

however...this story is no hoax and a little scary: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060521/ap_ ... an_nuclear
I'm surprised Israel isnt going to do anything...then again...it is quite different from 1981...anyways...only a few months? something has to be done NOW!!! JMHO of course though...we can just continue to give them time to build their nukes...

[conestogo_flood]

Iran, which insists its nuclear program is for peaceful, civilian purposes, says it has the right to enrich uranium.

If the president continues to say that, then why does he call on the destruction of Israel, and say things that hurt billions of people globally. He is purposely asking for trouble just to start a war. This is probably the first stages of the "plan" he has.

The way I see it:
1) Build a facility
2) Deny rumours it is for military purpose
3) Ask for trouble, but continue the "it's for civilian power"
4) Form more partnerships with other countries
5) Cut off gas supply
6) Round of terrorist attacks on Western countries including the USA and Canada
7) Begin military action on countries in the Middle East who disagree with Iran
8) Start a global war using nuclear weapons

We need to go there now, we are giving them way to much time to sort this out, by the time everything is done, and it looks good, will be when the attacks will start. This just seems so carefully crafted... from a Biblical point of view.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

We need to go in now or face a possible full scale nuclear war.

[Janice]

Scary, huh?

[Audrey2Katrina]

Scary, huh?

VERY!

Too bad it's "under the radar" for WAYYYY too many people.

The U.S will defend Israel from any attack that Iran may throw to them.Read all the information at link.

[Janice]
