Why have Iran built enrichment facilities to go above the 5% needed for power stations and 20% for medical isotopes, and buried them several hundred f**king feet below ground ??? Oh, and the IAEA and UN are bunch of lying f**king c**ts to boot. You are too keen to lap up those bits of the media that fit your "Bastard America" agenda....

Yes, because Iran arent interfering in the sovereignty of Iraq or Syria at all, are they ???

Must have imagined the threats to the John C. Stennis and the Straits of Hormuz, then......

Wow, so much effort in the Ministry of Truth to make the US out to be the aggressor....

Tha utter arrogance of the anti-US/Semitism-at-all-costs brigade spouting Iranian apologia on here is quite something to behold...

Which part of what I wrote is "cartoonish" ?

Yeah, I just dont know how to respond to this crass over-simplification. Apparently, because the US used two very low-yield inefficient atomic bombs with limited knowledge of long-term effect in order to shock Japan into a surrender and the end of a long bloody war nearly 70 years ago, probably saving hundreds of thousands of lives in the long-term, this must mean their finger is hovering over the button at every opportunity to unleash a huge fleet of missiles armed with high-yield thermonuclear missiles, so that anyone who dares disagree with the US on foregin policy should go out and develop their own to counter the rabid American threat. All this despite the impact and threat of nuclear weapons is now cleary researched and documented, an advantage the US didnt have when it make its uninformed decision to use the fledgling technology the best part of a century ago... No you are right, there are perfect parallels and citing the events of WW2 are a perfect precidence for what is going on in the 21st Century...

If I say black blokes are better dancers and sportsmen, am I being racist or racialist ?

No, no, no. Cannot agree !!! "harm" is too restrictive a word. "treat in the slightest way differently" is much more inclusive.

There is something wrong with some of you, if you cannot see that Iran fancies itself as a regional superpower in the Middle East, throwing its weight around in the national interest in the same way as you howl that the US does globally, only with a medieval barbaric twist as defined by the fundamental Islam ideals that govern the nation. Now that Iraq , Egypt and Syria are in turmoil and weakened, Iran feels this is its time to make its move. If you lot are comfortable with having the world economy held to ransom by religious whack-jobs, so be it. Dont expect everyone else to share your opinion.

Yes, it means a total irrelevancy from the context of a potential nuclear exchange in modern times, that I knew that some pedantic so-and-so would bring up as soon as I wrote the sentence.

Iran doesnt think it will suffer a nuclear response because the world is too sh*t-scared of losing access to the regions oilfields. That breaks the whole concept of MAD and opens up all sorts of dangerous scenarios.

Isnt that a text book defintion of a racist mentality ?

And Israel have bombed it back to square one already once. I'm hoping for a repeat. You lefties can bleat about Israel and the US having nukes, but they havent used them and havent threatened to use them either. Its not what democratic countries do. N.Korea has threatened a nuclear exchange in the past, and I expect Iran to threaten some form of "Allahs will" once they have the capability.

Right, so its all down to historical finger-pointing, like the British are responsible for Mugabe being such a tw*t in Zimbabwe now ? Let's take it further back; the whole region would look different now if the US hadnt been such oil-pigging smart-arses in 1956 and let us and the French get on securing the region against Arab nationalism by hammering Nasser. And to think I took you seriously up until now...

Utterly bizarre....

Life with a minimum 15 years, so I am assuming she wont be up for parole for 15 years. Here's hoping a prison officer mistakenly leaves her cell door open one day...

Come on then, you tell us how Iran is so misunderstood.

I'll tell you why. The mouth-frothing anti-US sentiment has got so bad on here certain individuals will be saying "Poor Little N. Korea, so misunderstood" next... Iran is building nukes, is developing ICBMs and is country run by a set of medieval values and nutjob religious fervour. The leadership of Iran is capable of ANYTHING. No I dont, but I dont see the relevance of this and I dont believe that US behaviour is justifcation for a bunch or lunatics being given carte blanche to develop thermonuclear weapons.

Poor widdle Iran. They havent got as many ICBMs as the U.S..

Some people getting really moist at the opportunity to attack the U.S

Oh, OK. Poor little Iran is all misunderstood. They are of no threat to anyone else at all. Monkey-Face and Khameni want nukes as mantelpiece ornaments.

Oh, wow. A stream of posts blaming the U.S. "Everything is the fault of the U.S, and if we cant blame them, it must be the British Empire's fault" How utterly original....

Iran is responsible for the rise of Islamic fundamentalism over the past 30 years and is therefore culpable or directly involved in the deaths of thousands via events such as 9/11, the Bali bombing, 7/7, etc. and now it wants nukes to do its bidding.

Personally I am glad that Mossad are on the case.
