Ask an Iranian what he or she think of their present government.
Loathsome, is what they tell me.

Ahmadinajad needs his weaponry because he thinks if he destroys Israel he'll have hegemony over the Muslim world, after which the rest of the world is his oyster.

It's interesting how American right wingers out there so angrily and viciously attack anything they conceive as anti-conservative, EVEN IN A UK ARTICLE. Senator McCarthy would love their tactics. It's sad the USA has been reduced to Red and Blue states instead of Americans acting together.

Regardless if Obama or Mccain gets into office, Iran nuclear facillity should be bomb on completion. If gas goes up.. gas goes up.. Security is better than the gas prices going to 10$ a gallon. Isreal should not be attacked or wiped off the map.

There's no threat to America, or Paris or London.

OK, except the people we armed first who are scary
for maybe a day. They have last years weapons, we
have this years.

You are talking about people's lives here, indiscriminate bombing of a country. Iran wants peace too.

But please keep talking about sensible things like IMPEACHEMENT and how you hope "cooler" heads prevail.

God help us it the democrats get control of all branches of government. They have a long track record spanning decades of weakness in the face of America's enemies. The resulting social unrest would allow them to implement the totalitarian socialism they've been dreaming of since the early 1900's.

So, when Iran gets nukes, and sets them off in Tel Aviv, Paris and London, what are you wacko liberal revisionist nutjobs going to do about it then? I'm betting still nothing, zilch, nada. Sit in your dimmitude. Abandon your traditions. Negotiate with fanatics. You deserve your fate.

"Iran issued dramatic threats to the US yesterday..."

What a one-sided way to start the article! Who has threatened to launch a nuclear strike on whom? (Answer, for those who aren't aware: the governments of Israel and the USA, and two of the three US candidates, have threatened to bomb Iran).

Tom Welsh, Basingstoke,

Give to Israel cruise missiles, F-22 fighters and several old nuclear submarines that can be armed with nuclear weapons in intent to give Israel ability to second stick and by so establishment of deterrent ability that deter her foes and secure her existence. It MUST be the responsibility of US and the West to prevent SECOND HOLOCAUST.

Is Israel through the USA trying to become the 4th Reich, or isn't this apparent enough yet?

Two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan thousands dead and no sign of Osama. Why would the US even want to mess with Iran. Hopefully there are some peacemongers among the insane warmongers in Washington and Tel Aviv. Let cool heads prevail the world doesnt need any more wag the dog American wars.

How pathetic really! Bill Clinton and his impeachment! Bush though, he's really the most deceitful and treacherous person alive...He's running the American people and the whole administration and Congress! Its time guys! COME TOGETHER War is terrorism! IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT** WAR CRIMES+ OCCUPATION

The United States is the only country ever to have used nuclear weapons.

This is an excellent article that stems the tide of media complicity in a foreign policy that has been hijacked by a crazy cabal, and threatens not just the world but the good people of the United States and Iran as well.
