Iran's Supreme Leader: 'No Nuclear Weapons'

Nik,

You said

"We need to go IN to Iran and LEVEL IT ---And we need to do it sooner rather than later."

1) Who is 'we'? - does that include yourself?

2) Why?

It looks as though Iran is going down the same path as Iraq under Saddam Hussein. The Arabs, with whom I have worked, do not back down as it means losing face. Before they were saying that they wanted to resume negotiations. All delaying tactics. This time, though, Israel will become involved. They stopped Iraq. When I worked in Saudi Arabia, it was well known that the Israelis would fly their jets below radar, land on an airbase in the north of the country on a Friday during prayer call and take off again. Another occasion, a Saudi military pilot had to land in Israeli territory due to technical problems. He was taken to a base where the Israeli personnel showed him a model of his air base in Saudi, telling him exactly what each building there was for and who occupied it.
I think I've said enough.

Ladies,

The USA nuked two japanese cities, Israel has repeatedly attacked various countries and was founded by terrorists (they blew up the British embassy in Rome), Britain has repeatedly attacked other countries in recent history and used to have the worlds biggest empire, the list could go on and on.

Now explain to me how the 'iranian regime is the biggest threat to world stability and peace today'

And then explain how Iran represents ALL muslims and how Muslims are the 'biggest threat to the 'western way of life' (whatever that is).

This has nothing to do with WMD! All indications are that the Iraq war was seized on as the easiest way to deliver a deadly pre-emptive warning to OPEC and others, not to flirt with abandoning the Petro-dollar system in favor of one based on the euro. The Iraq move was a declaration of war against the US$. As soon as it was clear that the UK and the US had taken Iraq, a great sigh of relief was heard in the UK Banks. First Iraq and then Libya decided to challenge the petrodollar system and stop selling all their oil for US$, shortly before each country was attacked. After considerable delay, Iran opened an oil bourse which does not accept US$. But you wont read any of this in the western propoganda media machines. The cost of war is not nearly as big as it is made out to be. The cost of not going to war would be horrendous for the US unless there were another way of protecting the US$'s world trade dominance. The US pays for the wars by printing US$ it is going to war to protect. All the ignorant comments posted here are the same ignorant comments I read from the same ignorant people that where so convinced Iraq had WMD.

Iranians are not Arabs, they are Persians. A small difference but a difference none the less. It does not alter the basic facts that it unfortunately looks as if they are following the path of Iraq.

IF American and the west do go to war, please let us learn from last time and keep the defeated ( assuming we win ) military and police in place to keep law and order and we dont have a load of disgruntled, armed, starving, defeated Iranian soldiers milling around blowing away people.

Dont let State Department w*****kers take control

Gavin,

I'm still waiting.

Sorry - should be 'practise what you preach' if you're English English. Practice for the Americans.

It would appear that inviting IAEA inspectors to their country is an attempt to show the world thats its cooperating, but then again it bans them from certain sites, which means the whole thing is a gigantic stalling for time exercise. They have for years tested missiles with ever increasing range. Then they start developing nuclear facilities and producing their own nuclear material independently. Clearly they intend to produce `Nuclear Weapons' and place them in these long range missiles.

Wake up world this is a simple case of 2+2=4

The nuclear program of Iran was launched in the 1950s with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program. The participation of the United States and Western European governments in Iran's nuclear program continued until the 1979 Iranian Revolution that toppled the Shah of Iran.

Inspect Israel's nuclear weapons sites on the grounds of preserving world peace.

Whether or not it is true is highly debatable but it is something Iran can say and the US and UK cannot say. Most of us already reside in two of the most dangerous countries in the world.

Gavin,

You said

"your posts are so naive not worth answering."

Is this because you don't actually have any proof to back up your absurd claims?

Unstoppable.......Gavin is basing his observations on little things like the leaders' threats to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, attempting to kill foreign diplomats in third party countries, the actual individuals attempting to do the same, blowing off their legs in the process, the country's partnership with Al Qaida.......etc....only small facts really!

Inspect Israel's nuclear sites. They are a much greater threat to world peace than Iran.

It is happening....

Iran is going to get a smacked bottie.

Unstoppable - read some of your posts below - and you'll find answers to your repeated question - with sources for proof.

in response to gavin....... if you google something along the lines of the greatest person in history, you will see that Muhammad is near the top. for exampe, "The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History" is a 1978 book by Michael H. Hart, Muhammad is top of the list. brain dead people like you are unable to understand those things, and will just spout nonsense. any list by non muslim intellectuals and historians will alway place him near the top. people who have been educated to PHd levels know the facts from the fiction. people like you belong in the gutter. but don't take my word for it, research it yourself.

Iraq 2?

I doubt this story is true but even if it is so what?
