lego,

the racist filth that spews from your facial oriface is not in the western tradition. It is like the Israeli propaganda you've sucked up and has more in common with National Socialism and Hitler.

Why do you bother? Like Singer you demean yourself so much ... and really like Singer, you are assisting the causes and countries you hatefully rail against.

Keep it up ... you are guaranteed to evetually have everyoe destesting you.

To all of those ignorant or incompetent who insist on continuing to 'catapult the propaganda' about 'wiping Israel from the map" and that includes Netanyahu, I offer the following cut n'paste from Global Research.

The full quote translated directly to English:
"The Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time". (That's 'regime', Likud, the army with a territory.)

Word by word translation:
Imam (Khomeini) ghoft (said) een (this) rezhim-e (regime) ishghalgar-e (occupying) qods (Jerusalem) bayad (must) az safheh-ye ruzgar (from page of time) mahv shavad (vanish from).

The speech in Farsi, archived on Ahmadinejad's web site:

Iran is not a threat to anybody in the region.
It is an obstacle to Western/Zionist imperial ambition to take resources those dumb furryners have the temerity to live above.
Iran is responding to several years of Western/Zionist belligerence and blatant covert operations including killings, in and around its own borders, actions which would have any Western/Zionist 'leader' hopping up and down and frothing at the mouth.

It would be beyond foolish to continue to antagonise the situation, particularly as 1) Iran offered/asked for talks some years ago and was rebuffed 2) It would quickly lead to the broader catastrophic conflagration that has been portrayed in 'Mad Max'

You must be an old bugger, Richman. I presume from your rant about Iran "not being a threat to anybody" that you must have been around in 1937 when Churchill was trying to warn the world about Germany, and people like you were poh poohing the idea that Germany was a threat to world peace, and screaming that Churchill was just a warmonger.

Were you also one of those slogan daubers who snuck around London in 1940 painting "SAY NO TO THE SECOND IMPERIALIST WAR!"?

When Germany invaded Russia, Churchill noted with some amusement that the slogan daubers had been busy overnight, painting over their previous work with "FIGHT IN THE SECOND PATRIOTIC WAR!"

Portraying yourself as a advocate of world peace is a noble pose. But ignoring the threat of a religious Nazi Iran, because you don't want to face up to reality, is not the position of a mature human being. The Iranian leadership hates everybody who is not an Iranian Shiite who grovels to his or her Imam. They mean to cause nuclear armed trouble with the ungodly infidels and they are going to do just that.

The only question which remains, is what we in the civilised world should do to prevent it. But one thing is for sure, whatever we do to stop this dangerous regime, people like you will always criticise it and always take the opposing view.

'It looks as though Iran has backed down.'

It might be so but it is jut as likely Iran is merely playing a stalling game.

Everyone involved knows that within a year all of Iran's Nuclear development will be done underground and far from any Israeli air threat.

The Yanks won't dare supply Israel with the weapons needed to destroy those underground structures and the Yanks won't use them themselves against Iran and risk starting WWIII ... especially at the behest of the fruitcake Israelis.

The sooner the US and all the Mid East nations start accepting a nuclear armed and defended Iran the sooner peace will come to Palestine and Israeli expansionism and oppression will be curbed.

A nuclear armed fruitcake regime in Iran is now inevitable... a balance to the nuclear armed fruitcake regime in Israel.

IJN,

Short of invading Iran there is not guaranteed way to stop them building Nukes. Sanctions especially those that bite economically are effectively both psychologically and hurt the regime.

The reality is that a nuclear armed Iran makes the area less stable.

As Iran does not share a border with Israel, Israel is not an invasion threat, and a Nuke strike on Israel would invite massive retaliation. So the only people it can hope to deter would be its neighbours, who are not a threat.

A nuclear armed Iran is not a scenario that the west is likely to accept for decades, and the regime would see the sanctions in place for a similar period.

A rogue bomb in the hands of terrorists detonated any where in the west would leave a fingerprint traced back to Iran with predictable consequences.

'Short of invading Iran there is not guaranteed way to stop them building Nukes.'

Then we agree it is inevitable. The US pulled out of Iraq and will pull out of Afghanistan. That's the will of the US people. They won't allow another involvement in the Mid East ... no matter how much Israel tries to maniplate such an outcome.

Israel's only threat to Iran is by air strike.

Iran will survive sanctions just as did Saddam for years. The Europeans despite their talk will buy Iranian oil through the backdoor ... cheaply.
