I just thought I would add this in also. I see time and again folks expressing that it is our government and thier government that are fighting, not the people. Well I find that hard to agree with when you see a story like this where it says tens of thousands of Iranians rallied the streets chanting and I quote "Death to Isreal" and "Death to the U.S." With things like this going on I do not see how anyone can think we are staging attacks on ourselves. And before someone posts that it is because we are in Iraq or whatever causing this, I submit to you that this is not a new fad. These have been the chants and ideals for a long time before we went there. It is time we stop blaming each other and meet our enemy as a united nation, not a divided one.

You could just as easily say that isreal is antagonizing Iran as well as her direct neighbors like Syria with thier latest attack eh?

It says tens of thousands of people, not millions And I'd question whether even that is a fair estimate, based on exaggerations we get even in the UK during demonstartions

Well in that case, not that Alaska would be a bad place since it's resourceful and beautiful....Ahmadinejad should move Iran to Pluto...?

I think we can conclude that Ahmadinejad is insane at this point. Some of his recent statements and actions can only prove he's off his nut.

You can't just move over 7 million people to the other side of the planet, and I know Canada could not absorb that many people. We have the land of course, and so does Alaska, but Canada has a population of 33+ million and wouldn't have the infrastructure in place to handle the influx.

And who would cover the cost of transporting and settling that many people ?
Is Iran going to open their wallets to pay for this ?

Ahmadinejad should be removed from office for the sake of his country.

Yeah, that Ahmadinejad, he's a genius!

Why didn't somebody think of moving Israel somewhere else before?

Sounds like a 5 year olds anwer, moving a whole country to the other side of the planet. Doesn't he realize WHY the Jews claim Israel as their homeland!

No you cant, because Israel didn’t attack Iran.

And Iran attacked Israel when?

Israel attacked Syria. They attacked Lebanon. They attacked Iraq. Hell, they even attacked US Navy ships, I believe during the LBJ administration.

It doesn't matter that Iran feels threatened with a $700 billion military to it's northeast in Afghanistan, to it's west in Iraq, and to it's south in the Persian Gulf, does it?

It doesn't matter that this $700 billion military supports a murderous regime in Israel who possess nuclear weapons, even though Iran and everyone else who doesn't submit to our power isn't allowed to have them, does it?

It doesn't matter that they're being threatened on a daily basis. It doesn't matter that they'll be occupied after their infrastructure, their people, and their land are bombed - possibly with nuclear weapons. It doesn't matter that their resources will be stolen, and the survivors oppressed during the occupation.

No. All that matters is that the United States gets to run over whomever they please, and that Israel gets to kill whomever they please, all in the name of national defense, and damn any one else to hell that tries to defend themselves.

Yes, let's all be hypocrites.

Israel has a right to exist, but Palestine, whom Israel stole land from, has no right to exist. That seems right to you?

The Holocaust happened in Germany and Austria. Not Palestine, not Lebanon, not Iraq, not Syria, not Iran, not the Middle East. Nowhere near the Middle East.

So why not have Israel in Germany? Why do we support an occupation of Middle Eastern land, while supporting a murderous regime, when the event that led to the creation of the nation that harbors this murderous regime, didn't even happen in the Middle East?

I wish people would read up on history, and take a closer look at world politics, rather than going by what you learn in your elementary history class, and what FOX News tells you about the world.

Until some of you make a true effort to learn what you're talking about, then don't pretend to know what you're talking about.

Save your biased inaccurate speculative opinions for a pro-war Bush cheerleader website, and keep it off a website where you're supposed to deny ignorance rather than embracing it.

All that over my one little sentence? Must be, I am the only one you quoted.

You need to calm down.

You’re at a 10; we need you at like a 6.

And you know where you can stick your assumptions? I am not "pro-war Bush."

I am anti war (any war really) and didnt vote for Pres. Bush.

That said, I do support Israel’s right to exist on that land, and you listed one of the reasons: history.

Remember to breath, bud.
