    It is easy for some people to talk about killing 7 million people.
    They really extent the definition of what is human.
    But we know the existed, last time people with your way of thinking drove the world to a 6 years of total war and spread misery and death through the whole globe.

    The other side? Are you kidding me? How about you find a non-biased side that agrees with you.

    Good idea for them to do. But, is very difficult for them to hit their secret ally. On the other hand, everyone is expendable if it helps the cause. DonGlock should talk to them.

    Interesting how Iranian history begins in 1979 in this video. But I guess the rest of their history, especially the shenanigans that brought on the hate that many of those people justifiably feel towards the western powers, is irrelevant when you're trying to start (escalate, actually) another war. War pigs will say (or leave out) anything to get their blood and destruction I guess.

    kind of like bigots uprooting the peasant of palestine, because they believe god chose them.

    just sick sobs!
    humans aint as cruel as israel is

    try comparing the last 70 yrs of palestinian oppression.

    i would have rather had that idiot hitler, finish the job, than feel what israel has been doing, for decades.

    When you demonstrate to us the intention of Muslims to wipe out Israel, then we can talk. Failing that you can keep spewing your absurd propaganda, and your dumb-arsed ideas about levelling Mecca until your face turns blue. Little wonder the American right-wing is seen as terminally retarded around the world, if your idiotic posts are any example.

    Calling somebody "Satan" has nothing to do with "threatening".

    That is a lie that was debunked a long time ago.

    He did not threaten to "wipe Israel off the map", and if he said that there will be a retaliation if USrael attacks Iran, then this is not a threat or an aggression, but a legitimate reaction to an aggression.

    Because unlike the other fights we are in Iran can and will force us into this being a real war. They can hurt us and have the military doctrine to make this a huge mess.

    Why do people think we can attack a nation like Iran and not have to invade in force, occupy the nation with a very large army, not have POW camps this includes for uniformed or papered insurgents Iran approves of and this will not extend beyond Iran?

    This means a real war and this means people will die in our forces we could even lose an aircraft carrier as they use it over lose it when early in the conflict that would be a devestating blow.

    Absolutely. Second only to Pakistan who already has their nuclear warheads, and lots of Muslim looneys to shoot then off, if/whenever they ever get their hands on them.

    1. They don't ALL hate the US and its allies.

    2. Of those that do, it's because they're Muslims.

    You bet ? And if you're wrong, the result could be the annihilation of the USA. Not good to gamble when the stakes are that high.

    What would it take for you to consider Iran a "clear and present threat" ?

    From Wikipedia :

    Iranian government sources denied that Ahmadinejad issued any sort of threat. On 20 February 2006, Iran's foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki told a news conference: "How is it possible to remove a country from the map? He is talking about the regime. We do not recognize legally this regime."[21][22][23]

    Shiraz Dossa, a professor of Political Science at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada, also believes the text is a mistranslation.[24]

    Ahmadinejad was quoting the Ayatollah Khomeini in the specific speech under discussion: what he said was that "the occupation regime over Jerusalem should vanish from the page of time." No state action is envisaged in this lament; it denotes a spiritual wish, whereas the erroneous translation – "wipe Israel off the map" – suggests a military threat. There is a huge chasm between the correct and the incorrect translations. The notion that Iran can "wipe out" U.S.-backed, nuclear-armed Israel is ludicrous.[25][26][27]

    The Guardian columnist and foreign correspondent Jonathan Steele published an article based on this line of reasoning.[28]

    In a 11 June 2006 analysis of the translation controversy, New York Times editor Ethan Bronner stated:

    "Translators in Tehran who work for the president's office and the foreign ministry disagree with them. All official translations of Mr. Ahmadinejad's statement, including a description of it on his website, refer to wiping Israel away. Sohrab Mahdavi, one of Iran’s most prominent translators, and Siamak Namazi, managing director of a Tehran consulting firm, who is bilingual, both say “wipe off” or “wipe away” is more accurate than "vanish" because the Persian verb is active and transitive."

    All in all, Iran's open and obvious hostility to Israel, and their concealed but obvious development of nuclear weapons, DO constitute a threat to Israel (et al)
