I was reading today that Iran has been testing components of a missile that could be used for nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that it was "breathtaking that Iran could be working on this type of material" because the warheads are still very secret in the US and Britain. Does this give Israel the ammunition they need to strike Iran ? Iran has said if it is attacked by the US or Israel it will not fight back in Iran, but in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I can only imagine the fear of the Israeli people at this news. Knowing what the media calls Israels "arch-foe" has the capability to launch such missiles. Imagine the fear of the Iranian people also, knowing their countries leaders are putting them in a position they cannot speak out against, that could lead to death and destruction in their land.

In a strange coincidence, I was watching a series about the cold war. They talked about Iran trying to obtain nuclear weapons and a nuclear inspector said "I believe we should give Iran nuclear weapons, because it's not about using them, it's about stalemate." Which is what the cold war was all about. It's a radical idea, but it's an idea.

This is a sorry state of affairs, but prompts me to ask some more questions that people might not like. Why isn't the world afraid of the hundreds of illegal nuclear weapons Israel has ? They have around 240 nuclear weapons that are held illegaly. We are meant to fear Iran for Israel, but you're "anti semetic" if you fear Israel for it's Arab neighbours.

Thanks Leo Szilard, thanks a lot.

Because Israel is not a people that kill innocent people because of their religious beliefs....they do not blow themselves up because of their fanatical beliefs and they value human life. They have been prosecuted for centuries and driven from their lands for centuries....they were slaves and butchered as children.

Yes, they fight back if attacked why shouldn't they? I do not believe for a second that they would use nuclear weapons against any people other than if they were fighting for their own lives....Iran's leaders are fanatics and of terrorist mindsets....its people for the most part are not, but are forced into a way of life that they do not want to live. They are becoming more open about this....is it not the right of ALL people on this earth to live in peace....in a kind and loving world. Can we not all worship as we please without worrying about being put to death because of it? Has anyone wondered why a Jesus or a Mohammand had not appeared in any shape or form since they left this earth cent;uries ago? Where is the next man of God?
Linda, I'm not trying to be rude at all, I promise my sorrows are with the people in Israel because of this situation, as well as the Arab people. The point I'm trying to make is that the actions of the few are controlling the many. Iran is under strict UN sanctions now, not as bad as Iraq was in the 90's and killed half a million children, but still pretty strict. And not because the people did anything wrong but because their leaders did, according to some. You have to understand their history to see why Iran is so anti west and anti Israel. The US created a coup in the 50's that imposed a dictator they wanted, Kermit Roosevelt was the head of it, look him up.

I've talked to Arabs that feel like the situation was not handled properly, yes the Jewish people need a homeland, but expelling every Palestinian from their home ? That's not fair. That's like every person with native American blood throwing every Anglo Saxon American out of their home, which would not be fair.

During the 1967 war Israel fought back againt all odds, they were attacked on many fronts and won. But does that give them the right to occupy so much land for settlements that are against international law ? Of course it doesn't, Berlin isn't occupied by the U.S is it ? Or Panama ? I like the UN, but it only comes in to help when the fighting is over, which is hypocritical of why it's there. U.N resolution 242 was made, and it states that Israel must return to it's 1967 borders but they keep building illegal settlements in the West Bank and Gaza. And it's reasons like this that rockets are falling in Israel. And why is no sanctions been put on them ? Britain have refused to sell any naval weapons to Israel anymore because of the Gaza war. It wasn't picked up much in the news but it happened.

I don't like the leaders of my country, they steal and treat us like dirt. We are the "most free" we have been in 800 years and our leaders treat us with their own agenda. A neutral country that has nearly a thousand U.S troops in it at all times on their way to Afghanistan or Iraq. Nobody here wants it, but our government does because of the money. We have taken prisoners from Guantanamo bay against protest of thousands of people. Neutral on the side of the Western forces it seems.

Leaders don't listen Linda, and that's my point. We in the West akways hear about Arabs blowing themselves up and using "human shields" which is a fallacy that the Bristish used against the I.R.A, it's just not true. As much as Hamas say that Israelis do it isn't true.

News can be very deceptive, and to think there isn't a bias is unthought of. We shouldn't be anti establishment, but we should recognise that our laws and leaders do have flaws. Every human does have the right to live in peace, you are 100% percent right. But the only lesson we ever learn, is that we never learn.
Dear Fintin,

You have valid points....and I do agree that Israel and the Palastine people need to work out their land issues and so forth....I admit I am not real versed on all of this...but it appears there is more land in Palastine than in Israel.....so good grief.
You are correct about your leaders as they want to definately control their people. What is sad and what makes no sense to me at all is when people kill each other over beliefs that go back centuries ago....and old grudges....that is obsurb. It does not remotely make sense.

What I do know is that there are more people than leaders and if the people banded together and forced their will, then things would change....anyone of those yahoos can be physically removed. They love their power and it is ego over what is good and best for their people they use fear and misinformation to stay in power.

And, I also agree about America....we have had leaders that have made really bad choices....and were wrong. I am not dismissing that. What I will say is that we do have a Democracy and wrongs are corrected....moreso than ever as you can see we fight back.Namaste
