“We are going to respond to any military action in a crushing manner and it doesn’t make any difference which country or regime has launched the aggression"

US Military Budget: 636 billion dollars

EU Milatry Budget: 312 billion dollars

Iran Military Budget: 6.3 billion dollar

Perhaps he might want to take back that statement.

After the strong condemnations from the U.S. and its allies, Iran said Saturday it will allow U.N. nuclear inspectors to examine the site.

Most important piece of information hidden inside this article. If this is true, than all this missile launching is just posturing. Iran is no Iraq, and despite the recent election fiasco's their government has strong popular support. Going to war with Iran would be absolutely disastrous. It would not be won quickly, or easily, and would cause untold casualties on both sides. The only people that would benefit would be the military industrial complex (the same dudes that conned bush into going into Iraq) and perhaps the U.S. economy.

If the U.S. does lead an invasion of Iran, it shows just how powerful the Industrial Military complex is. They don't care who is president, democrat or republican. they still pull the strings, along with the wall street bankers.

YES WE CAN.

A while back, I met two absolutely beautiful girls (and one not so beautiful) with an American boyfriend at a Dept store in Tokyo. We started to chat, and I asked the girls where they were from. They said Iran. I asked them what they thought about USA (noting with all due respect that the boyfriend was from there. They answered. "We want the US to invade our country." I thought they were joking, and I asked why would they say a thing like that? And they answered quite seriously, "then we could be rid of the ancient form of gov't and those running it, and we could have freedom and democracy like in the West." Hmm.... In general, I've only met a few Iranian people in my lifetime, (at immigration, at the Dept. store, one at Univerysity) and I must say they were all quite charming, intelligent people. I wonder where this gov't came from and how it manages to stay in power with such a belligerent form of hostility towards the outside world?

Does it take 1 trillion dollars of borrowed money to crush an enemy, or does borrowing trillions of dollars crush an economy?

I have a joke for you guys:

In Iran, I would estimate that at least 80% of the lightbulbs have already been converted to energy efficient or fluorescent systems. And I would estimate that in the United States, Canada, and Japan, that this percentage is at least less than 50%, just to be conservative.

So how many Americans, Canadians, and Japanese does it take to change a lightbulb?

But in all seriousness, think carefully before you act, Iran has been doing this for more than 1400 years. And I believe it is more concerned about your well being than it is on being attacked or going nuclear, these are the fundamentals of any religion.

Ironic then that the whole world has become so backwards.

Furthermore, American should pull back all its military forces from foreign lands and relocate them on the mainland American soil and should respect International Laws fully - American should change it's "Corner Stone" policy towards Israel and treat it like it treats others on equality bases - peace will prevail as a result of this good action by the American Administration, there will be no need to call any nation "The Axis of Evil", so called America's wars on terror will end and world will finally heave a sigh of relief and every one will live happily ever after.

The Iranians will burn the infidels in their tanks!

There are no infidels in Tehran. Never!

I wonder what the Iranian Jews will do, sit back, fight for Israel, or run away.

When discussing Iran, historians will regard Obama as Jimmy Carter’s even crazier younger brother.
Tatanka at 05:42 PM JST - 28th September

Iran's weak military capability is balanced by Obama's ineptitude in foreign affairs. Maybe Obama can go on another apology tour...

Sound like Iran is having a snit ala NK. I don't imagine it will amount to anything. I do expect that a lot more people are convinced that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons though. Masters of diplomacy, that lot.

"When discussing Iran, historians will regard Obama"

I'm sure David Irving has already penned the text.....

The US could airstrike Iran into submission before Iran got finished repacking their gunpowder muskets. Reminds me of the Onion article from a while back, where Kuwait sent their 1 troop to assist the Iraq struggle. With all the short range missile testing, the US should demonstrate its long range missile capability by firing something from the east coast of the US, and hitting something on the west coast of the US, from the long way around.

29 Sept. Daily Express UK is reporting
- - "INTELLIGENCE chief Sir John Scarlett has been told that Saudi Arabia is ready to allow Israel to bomb Iran’s new nuclear site.
- - "The head of MI6 discussed the issue in London with Mossad chief Meir Dagan and Saudi officials after British intelligence officers helped to uncover the plant, in the side of a mountain near the ancient city of Qom."

Everyone in the Middle East with the exception of Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon approve of Israel attacking Iran's nuclear sites. They don't want to see Iran get nukes, and they're getting tired of Iran trying to influence the streets in their own country, especially Egypt.

That's because Iran is Shia Islam, one of the most oppressed religions in the history of mankind. Sunni Islam is teaming up with the West to wipe it off the face of the planet.

What did True Shia Islam ever do wrong to anybody, is like saying what did Jesus ever do wrong to anyone, is like saying what did true Jews (Not the ones exterminating Palestians like it is Holocaust part II) do to anyone, is like saying, what did Ghandi ever do wrong to anyone.

The end of history will be the uncovering of every truth, including the very thoughts inside your head.

Anyone with any understanding of this reality would tread very carefully, however, most of us are already completely lost, it is mind boggling.

The very people touting "think outside the box", "innocent until proven guilty", "due dilligence", and "good character", are the very ones who have forgotten what all of this means.
