First, Ahmadinejad could not care less about whether your mind is at ease or not. Why should he?

Second, it was always in the interest of the Middle Eastern states to wipe out Israel, what is there suddenly so surprising?

I don’t think you got my sarcasm.
A small correction, it is in the intrest of the Arab leaders to blame Israel for
every thing and make Israel weeker so that their their own population
doesn’t focuse on the short coming of the regimes and vent their furstration
on the zionist rather on the king and dictatators.

Are you asking me whether it is in long-term interest of Iran to switch to nuclear power? My answer is clean and straight YES! You or me might not like the idea of enriched Plutonium in Iranian hands, but it certainly serves their interests better as not to have any..

.. and that Israelis are not exactly happy with that? Who gives a damn about what Israel has to say to this? Since when the opinion of Israel is a merit of all things?

Hard to say. Do American people benefit from statements and actions of their current govenment? Who can really say? I think not, but then there are many republican sympathizers who would say exactly the opposite.

But if you ask me whether Iranians want to hear these statements, then my answer is another clear YES, many of them want to hear those. Finally, that is why they elected Ahmadinejad.

It is certainly not in your interest, that is obvious. Or mine. Or interest of Americans, Canadians, Swedes, Australians, French or Hungarians, But it certainly is in the interest of Saudis, Iranians and other countries in region. They want nuclear power, what did you expect? Why do you think Iranians would give up their interests so that you can sleep better? What have you given up for them in return?

So it is in the intrests of the middle east and the world to have a leader that
threatens to wipe other nations of the earth to have the nuclear capability to do so. Intresting, sure puts my mind at ease.

While many european,arab and a few jewish holocaust deniers are attending
the holocaust denial conferance, Iranian students chanted “death to dictator” and burned pictures to his effigy.

On Monday Dec 12th, 2006, a group of students at Tehran’s Amir Kabir University, interrupted a speech by Iran’s so-called President as a regime-sponsored antisemitic conference was underway.

The students chanted “death to dictator” and burned pictures to his effigy.

From Reuters:
Several dozen students call ’death to the dictator,’ burn Ahmadinejad’s photos in bid to disrupt his speech Monday
Dozens of Iranian students burned pictures of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and threw firecrackers in an effort to disrupt his speech at a university on Monday, a presidential office spokesman said.

Shoah Conference Iran’s foreign minister: Anti-Semitism exists only in West / News agencies Conference aimed at ’answering questions about Holocaust’ gets underway in Tehran Monday. Foreign Minister Mottaki says in speech anti-Semitism never existed in Muslim countries, asks ’why should Palestinians pay for Nazis’ crimes?’ Three Jewish Neturei Karta representatives set to attend, explain why Zionism caused Shoah Full Story It was first time the president, elected in a landslide in June 2005, had faced such open hostility at a public event. But the spokesman said Ahmadinejad was not deterred and completed his address at Tehran’s Amir Kabir University.

“While he was speaking today they tried to interrupt but they couldn’t and they even burned his pictures while he was speaking and they threw firecrackers but Ahmadinejad continued his speech,” the spokesman said.

He said 50 to 60 students were involved and confirmed local news agency reports they had chanted “death to the dictator” and that scuffles had broken out between pro- and anti-Ahmadinejad students at the event.

The ISNA students’ news agency said Ahmadinejad had responded to the burning of his pictures by saying: “Everyone should know that Ahmadinejad is prepared to be burned in the path of true freedom, independence and justice

Putins enemies sure have a nasty habbit of dying.

“Newly found bravery” ?!
Is that a (bad) joke ?!

I see you fail to understand the basic concept of self-defense !
It is not the French who adopted an agressive attitude towards the Israelis.
It is not the French who went head on with an Israeli position and performed mock attacks.

You fail to understand that in the present situation (wether or not this stupid and incompetent Israeli pilot wanted to attack the French position) if the French had shot down the Israeli aircraft, the move would have been in full agreement with the UN and international policies. And the Israelis would have none but themselves to blame for this fiasco.

Israel, once again, is conducting itself as a bully by performing bombing runs, with their XXX million dollars jets, on UNIFIL positions armed only with short range missiles for self-defense.

All heil the courageous Israelis pilots of the IAF ! Israel security increases each time the IAF buzzes a UN outpost !

I always wondered who are the people that pay attention to words
and not to deeds, Well I guess you answeared that queastion.
Israeli intrests at the moment are being carried out in Lebanon by France.
So despite the French saying this and that crap, their hand is deeply involved
in getting the Syrian and hezzis out of power (did i already say they serve
Israel’s startegy?). Who proposed and pushed the UN resultion to disarm the hizzbola? It was the US or Israel. The Syrian puppets are not issueing their threats to Israel but directly to France, why do you think it is?

I really support Lebanese government in taking the responsibility against any will of Nasrallah. But the fact remains that Israeli aggression left Lebanon with much stronger and better supported Hezbollah than ever before. This idiotic action has put Lebanon at least 50 years back on its way to democracy, unfortunately. Lebanese will need another generation to forget (unless Israelis do something similarly stupid, again)

Please explain how killing 8 Israeli soldiers, Kidanping 2 others from inside
Israeli terrirtory and rocketing Israeli towns and cities, constitutes Israeli
aggression.

So here you finally reveal yourself; Mass murder of sivilians.

Moderators, is it time for a ban ?

Your failure to comrehand simple text doesn’t surprise me.
The option is up to the Palestinains. Despite it’s addictiveness, killing Jews
is not anyones birth right. No Attacki the Jewi no bombi back, Capish?
If you don’t understand why killing Jews is not acceptable, perhaps you
should ban yourself.

Before you blame someone, you have to explain, why the Israeli intelligence did fail to give vital details to the own troops in time. Why Israel had not working concept to deal with such threat. Why Israel was unprepared to react instantly and many more questions about that.
In Gaza there is no UNIFIL and none restricts the free usage of UAV and other intel assests from the IDF. Does that free the people from Sederot f.e. for the constant ‘Kassam-threat’ for month/years?!
So much about the “super brave IDF soldiers”!!!!!!!!

So far i agree with you on almost everything. Here as were i have a different
opinion that my upset or shock you. I don’t think the solution to the katyusha
or Qassems fired at Israel by terrorist is surgical strikes, SF raids or UAV
guided … whatever. The solution is similar to what Churchil did in response
to the London bombing by the NAzis, it’s what King Hussein did when his
country was attacked by the PLO. Yes, i’m talking about massive
bombardment of civilians area as a response to bombing of Israeli civilians.
Israel attempt to avoid civilians population only make the world demonize it
further when there are civilian casulties and Israel deternce has almost gone.
What happened last week in Beit Hannon, despite the horrors should be the
norm for each single rocket fired at Israel, the Palestinians will still control
their own destiny by NOT attempting to murder Jews.
