Well maybe it isn't nukes we are worried about in Iran after all. Maybe it's financial competition from Iran with our "little friend" over there. Profits for some, in exchange for destruction of America..

In other words, "Israel defines its demands".

That my friend, appears to be a certain fact - we are in the way of their profits.

We must not go to war because NATO says so or for any other entity than Congress and the will of the people. Let other countries spend the money and military if it means to much to them. Iran hasn't started a war in 150 years, and we sure are pushing them against the wall to start one. The American Empire, funding raising ter ror ists and h8red around the world. Pakistan has nuke weapons ! Why aren't we taking them since they housed OBL?

Obama doesn't think he needs the authorization of the Congress. (Remember Libya.) So that's pretty bad. It's a big problem actually.

I wonder how support for a war with Iran breaks down racially. Let me guess it's conservative white and Jewish men above age 45 that are the strongest supporters? I really don't see women or people of color or left-leaning whites in favor of this, I guess it's largely nasty old rich men that push for war the hardest - and have the least to lose.

Iran is not in violation of the NPT treaty. It is allowed to process nuclear material up to 20% for medical purposes. So why does the U.S. demand they stop processing all nuclear material? Because Israel, which has over 200 nukes, demands it, so the U.S. puppet must comply.

Both U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies believe that Iran has not made a decision to pursue nuclear weapons. It's the fascist politicians in Israel that spout lies to justify their need to bomb Iran.

The U.S. trains terrorists (MEK) in the U.S. to conduct terrorist activities in Iran and then complains about Iran's non-existent nuclear weapons program. Who's the real terrorist?

[nastan sparlos]

It's not even about the nuclear weapons. (Since there are none.) It is more about the fact that Iran, with its peaceful nuclear program, threatens to become a developed country.

Money, competition and replacement of the dollar as reserve currency--Just like Iraq and Libya.

This shows how Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, is desperate for war.

So obviously Obama, the British, Netanyahu, etc. want war. One of the reasons for that appears to be that "The West" wants to prevent the development of peaceful nuclear power in developing nations around the globe. In other words, Obama & Co. are denying Third World countries their right to progress.

Don't include the British, we don't want another war and regardless of what our leaders say they know they'll get lynched at the polls if they ever try pulling another stunt like Iraq.

Your monarchy is a prime driver in this war drive. They are pretty good at obfuscating their involvement so regular subjects think they're on the good side.

[nastan sparlos]

02:46 PM on 04/08/2012

I know that regular Brits are against the war just like here in the U.S. It is a very small clique who's pushing this madness.

[beenzrgud]

I'm still not clear as to what gives the US the right to demand this of Iran, or is this just another case of my gun's bigger than your gun.

You can't understand?
Let me make it clear for you:

Your neighbor says that you have no right to live.
Says it over and over again.
Finally goes to buy a handgun
During that 15 day waiting period he speaks even more about how you don't deserve to live.
It is now the 15th day and he is standing outside the gun store waiting for it to open.

[beenzrgud]

02:59 PM on 04/08/2012

You still didn't answer my query.

[Molly D]

11:54 PM on 04/10/2012

So instead of denying the neighbor a handgun permit we call in an airstrike on his block?

In a later announcement the U.S. revealed that Utopia really exists.

It is incredibly cruel of Obama & Co. to deny the entire Iranian population the benefits of _peaceful_ nuclear power. Nobody in Iran could agree to such an outrageous demand. And Obama and the British know that. So this is a way force a war to happen.

[retiredfemale]

01:49 PM on 04/08/2012

Well I think it is just the starting point like when you are buying a car; they set the price, you make an offer, and it goes back and forth until you reach an agreement. I think in the end they will agree that Iran can enrich to the point needed for nurclear power but will have to ship the rest out, then buy back what they need for medical treatments (it is not fair to Iran but I think they are asking the same of N Korea).
They will also have to allow inspections, probably ongoing, in order to keep the facility open but while that may burn their pride it is the most logical compromise.

[Donatella]

01:59 PM on 04/08/2012

There are inspectors at every nuclear processing sites in Iran and there is no proof that they are processing anythng near what is required for a nuclear weapon.

So why is the U.S. demanding they stop all processing when it is allowed to every nation that signed the NPT? Israel did not sign the NPT, it has over 200 nukes and don't allow any inspectors. Why the double standard? Clearly the answer is because the Zionists determine U.S. ME policy. We had a Declaration of Independence from Britian in 1776, we need a similar declaration from Israel.

After the Iranian demand the U.S. is going to demand that God stop all illness & that the Easter Bunny reveal his sexual preference.
