Ahmadinejad predicts US strikes within next three months.

So the EU placing sanctions on Iran is confrontation for the United States to strike? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and any way...economic sanctions on IRAN?! Oh my goodness, who saw that one coming? Puhleasse.

The reality is, Iran procured a very progressive deal with Brazil and Turkey to swap enriched uranium for nuclear fuel rods, which the Americans had been pushing for the whole time but the United States in it's blunt-headedness is unable to conceive of the idea that Iran will do a deal with a country other than itself. Iran is budging, but people like you have this warped FOX news mentality that Iran = big hitler man. Come back when you learn a bit more about foreign affairs

He isn't stupid... He would never attack israel first; he knows it would mean the end of iran and the world as we know it...

israel is likely to attack iran first, only with obtaining permission from america first.

do not have a clue what you are on about dude!

Where have I suggested that iran is a "big hitler man"??

MY only point was that sanctions are provocation for iran and this will further harden their stance, in turn provoking america/israel to strike, and in turn causing iran to retaliate any which way they can...

you and the other poster seemed to get a bit defensive suggesting this was an attack on "iranian culture"....

sharia law in muslim countries has a basis in their faith and the stonings/lashings/hangings are all part of it...

I stand by what I said about the islamic east not being too bothered about "human rights" (as we in the christian west know it to be)...

Well given that women are potentially stoned to death for adultery.. and other such horrors I would have to say that from our perspective in the Christian west, iran are not too big on “human rights”!

Essentially, Iran are not a threat to any arab country...

britian will never accept a "black face" as prime minister.... big difference in america... nation built on "immigrants" and before you go on about britain being built on immigrants....

Cameron is already unpopular

You are confusing the regime for the people. You cannot say the "Islamic East" doesn't care about human rights because that includes the people. Leaving aside thats an ignorant statement in the first place.



I wouldn't call funding the Taliban "respecting" Afghanistan. And, you are seriously going to respect a man who does these barbaric things?



Read a book.



Nonsense. "The Islamic revolution's final objective is global revolution." It's little to do with Arab states "being in the pockets" of America. It's do with the what was mentioned in the quote - which you didn't properly address. Even everyday Arab people agree with that - they see Iran as a threat in and of itself because it seeks dominance in the region. Just think about it: the Iranian hand in Iraq, funding the Taliban in Afghanistan, Hezbollah in Lebanon (which refuses to disarm) etc. etc. Just read the quote.

Sure? We have come quite far as a society in 2010 in regardance to racism but some TSRians have not.

I don't think many people would mind, however, if the case is opposite, I'll go back to my bubble.

Hopefully it won't. In fact it would be Christmas for the EU if Iran got attacked and Turkey isolated itself from the EU as a result. Finally they'll get the message that they've failed to understand from their 50 year old application to join the EU - they're not wanted!

no I'm not talking about the general public, but rather more so the political elite..... don't think a "black face" will ever make it high up in the ranks to run for prime minister!

So you simultaneously denigrate these sharia practices, but fail to condemn the regime which promotes them. Is this becuase you think Iranians' human rights are worth less than other people's?



Ignorant rubbish.

Basically, your loathing for the USA & Israel is so extreme that as long as a regime opposes them, you will refuse to condemn its other actions, no matter how vile or oppressive, passing them off as an acceptable part of another culture and therefore above criticism.

I guess you think Hitler was OK for standing up to the Jews and Americans? And that gas chambers were a de facto part of German culture and therefore perfectly appropriate except from a 'Christian' point of view?

You need to understand that when one discusses world/political affairs and refers to the Russians, Americans, british etc, it is not referring to various citizens living in Moscow, new york, London etc, but rather to the elite/those in power/those who call the shots….

I haven’t condoned iran’s laws… I said I don’t agree with them.. barbariac to us in the Christian west. But it is part of their culture (and was once part of our culture)…

I call bull on this statement. Provide evidence of the state in England stoning women to death for adultery. To make it easier for you, I will accept evidence from any historical epoch but it must of been the laws of a state in Britain.

So America are going to attack Iran because they've 'hardened their stance'? I highly doubt that. I can only see a strike being made if there is a formal threat, i.e. a 'do what we say or we'll bomb you' situation, in which case the threat of war is huge. Otherwise, neither America/Israel or Iran will risk a pre-emptive strike. The loss of life will be huge and the Obama administration would be tainted forever.
