I read it with an open mind......right up until they brought french frys into the equation that is.

WTF?  They had a decent argument going.  Kinda like I make a compelling argument about whether we should be spending so much on space exploration and then bring up the cost of the Star Wars trilogy.

Completely irrelevant.  Bah.

Yeah the french fries seemed to be an unrelated news bit. I'm surprised they tried so hard to tie it in.

Weird.

Are they trying to say Mr. Iranian President is so angry because he had too many french fries?

It reminds me of the time when these Christian nutballs said that the Islamic regimes in Iraq and Afghanistan needed to be removed...

Its the whole of the arab world who sympathizes and collaborates with this mind set!!!

Iran needs to be taken out!! We can sit and negotiate with these people till were all blue in the face, the only thing that will stop them, is military action PERIOD!!!

You guys watch! Iran is NEXT, maybe not this year, but within 5 years I guarantee we go to war with the Iranians! WE WILL HAVE NO CHOICE

You will have a choice. There is ALWAYS a choice. They aren't threatening USA - what's your big fucking problem? Even if they did threaten USA, which they won't, they wouldn't have any meaningful threat to make. USA is half a globe away FFS and the country is the biggest nuclear power on earth.
We westerners are all looking in on A REGIONAL ISSUE. Iran wants to be the big cheese in the middle east not on the planet earth. I'm under no illusions that Iran wants Israel destroyed but then that would be representative of probably the majority of arabs, whether they're sunni or shia muslims. Iran are at ideological war for influence over the region with the great sunni power - Saudi Arabia. What all this has to do with us westerners is beyond me.
This hezbollah spat at the moment is a stroke of pure genius - completely drawing UN attention away from Iranian nuclear weapons ambitions. Israel better watch out - Iran aren't as stupid as they are made out to be. Especially given that a bunch of rag-tag guerrilla fighters hiding in olive groves are teaching them a lesson or two.

Cameron, they have declared economic war with the US of A. The Iranian Oil bourse... Oddly enough the other members of the "Axis of Evil" also tried/are trying to switch to trading oil for Euros instead of the US dollar. Oh, so did Venezuala who is looking like a prime candidate to be added to that list.

Robert Newman's History of Oil covers the whole thing in detail.

Doesn't give the US of A an excuse to invade though.

Of course not. WHy would countries like Iran do favours to countries like USA who are so militant and threatening to them and that unconditionally support their arch-nemesis? In a perfect world USA, Europe and everyone else would stay the fuck out of their affairs and afford them parity of esteem. Then they might not see us as being so goddamn arrogant, patronising and controlling.

So just say were interested in Iran because of oil. If a country needs oil for it's economy to flourish it's worth fighting for. War's have been fought throughout the ages for resources, what makes you think we have evolved past that? If we need oil to stay strong until alternative fuel source can be developed in abundance. What's wrong with fighting for it?  Just something to think about and discuss...

There are more countries than Iran in the world to go looking for oil in. I disagree with fighting for it because it's quite simply wrong. Hitler took over half of Europe for land and resources for the German Ubermensch - was that 'right'? No it wasn't - it was morally reprehensible at best. Iran still sell oil to whoever is buying it - why must the US (or anyone else) try and circumvent international law to gain direct control over their resources, just because they might be powerful enough to do so. Personally I think the Iran thing, from a US perspective, is less about oil and more about Israel - jewish influence in US politics to be exact. Jewish lobby groups practically write the script with regards to US foreign policy these days.

PLUS - the west is more than capable of coming up with alternatives to fossil fuels but energy policy appears to be dictated by the dollars that would need to be spent rather than the number of lives that could be preserved.

What the F8ck ever. Like Osama only wanted a regional sulution right? I guess you're to young to remember 241 Marine Peacekeepers being slaughtered by a terrorist Hezbollah bomber in Lebanon huh? We shoulda smacked Iran and Syria down then but ohhh no people like these posters want to appease these monsters instead of kicking their asses like we should. If you wait to long to tackle these terrorists you end up with no options at all like in N. Korea and Iran now. If you bury your head in the sand the enemy will just run up behind you and kick u in the sack. I say let's get it on.....It's only a matter of time before these guys smuggle some WMD that Saddam hid in Syria or Iran into a Western nation. Oh ya BTW did you catch the UN report that said the Congo was caught smuggling Yellow cake to Iran? HUMMMMM kinda sounds like I heard this before....But we all know Wilson proved that the Congo wasn't doing such things huh? LOFL. Ignore the warnings at your own peril because the enemy is very clear in it's agenda.

Unfortunately Iran was impowered by the Iraqi war. . . .

They outsource terror all over the globe, they have declared economic war ALREADY with the USA.  The are currently making nuclear weapons so that they can blackmail the western nations and the UN, the list goes on and on!! THEY ARE NOT NICE PEOPLE!! They are lead by Islamo-fasicists beant on the destruction of Israel and her allies, and they are NOT hiding behind that tought either!!!!

We/UN have exhausted the drawn out "negotiations", THEY WILL NOT WORK!! You can sanction them till the cows come home, THEY WILL NOT CHANGE THEIR AGENDA!! They are only going to get worse! So the question is, appease them like in years past (which is a failed political ploy) OR threaten an attack while they still dont have the nukes to blow up Israel(they may have them already we dont know).

Because lets be honest, I and Im sure most of you dont want to live in a forced Islamic society!! We like our Mtv, and our IPODS and our sports teams etc. Letting these Islamic crazies gather steam and mobilize is a recipe for DISASTER!!  We have ALREADY allowed them to go this far!! What are we willing to deal with next??

the article says it is the government who are responsible not the people, but if you look up democracy, the definition is rule of the people, so really it is the people who are responsible for the actions of the country unless they are saying that it is a dictatorship?

Also Iranian bombs have been found at roadsides in afgahnistan planted for british troops, they are also supply iraqi militia with weapons and helping out hezbolla.

Another nice incident i call to memory weapons inspectors in iran, wanted to inspect a nuclear facility? wernt allowed within three miles for three weeks, when they were allowed in it was a completely empty building everything had been removed....thats not suspicious...

People like FadedSteve and Negolien are hilarious. The FOX News fearmongering I watch with amusement obviously has worked it's dirty charms on them. Dream on people. You are poster children of AMerican Imperialist ideals, dumbed down by what the media has drummed into you. It's so funny - you aren't even aware of it. Yellowcake from Congo LOL!!! You're beginning to sound as bad as the liberal conspiracy theorists. Half the shit the US comes up with turns out to be bullshit. Remember WMD in Iraq? Oh yeah - there weren't any!!! Stay gullible if you want but don't get too bothered if people choose to criticise you.

PS Bear in mind that IRan, Syria, Israel and all the other unsavoury states in the middle east are more than 10,000 miles from your doorsteps. Why they should bother the No.1 military power in the world is beyond me.

You must admit you have been hoodwinked and fooled also. We are all fed so much crap..we believe what we want to believe.

I'm not saying the two guys you criticized are wrong, I'm just saying left or right we all end up believing some bogus crap...you're not immune to it Poe.
