Um, the Jews are Gods favorite kids guys. Bible says that you better be good to them and then you get blessed. You be bad to them then you don't get blessed. I didn't say it, the Bible does though so.... just saying.

3rd Temple is about to be built, wait for the announcement to come very soon. Prophecy is unfolding right before your very eyes but blindness will not allow you to see.

Sorry.

Jim Evans wrote in #6 Yes....stop Iran now...before there`s a war.....because if Iran gets nuclear weapons they will give them to countries like Pakistan and India and North Korea....... and then the biggest war mongers NATO and Israel will want nuclear weapons too......to "defend themselves" from imperialist homicidal criminals!
Ac tually both countries (NK and Pakistan) already HAVE nukes!!! And Pakistan is now ally of USA.
But that's not the point. The point is that USA just can't win over Iran. Iranian military isn't low tech as Saddam was. They have smartbombs, laser guided balistic missiles, heavy artiliery, powerfull anti-missile defence, quite capable air-power, and by far the fittest on foot army of ANY middle-eastern country (including Israel). Plus, I'm 100% confident that China and Russia just won't stand by.
And don't be naive, Iran already have nukes.So there's absolutely no chance is US winning this war. It can't. It bearly managed to outdo Iraqs forces. 
But the reason to attack Iran isn't WMDs. It's thirst for oil. It always was. Saudis are getting pretty low on oil, Iraq hasn't got that much, and Iran is just the next step.So all of you who support US attack on Iran, wake up, WMDs aren't the cause. Read more books, get educated on history of the world, and learn to read between the lines. Don't be naive fools!

To all Americans and the rest of the world lets boycot everything American. Including movies, there bigest income. Only buy pirate copy's. There is a lot of Satanism in America and unfortunately they control the government. Most gongressmen  along with thousands of people atend bohemian grove Satanic meetings. In order to be a member each one of them at one stage or another had to rape, murder and sacrifice an infant to Satan.That is a fact. The same goes for Israel.There gov also attends Bohemian grove along with those dirty Rothschilds. Zionest jews are Stanists and a sic and demented people and have murderd more palestinians than hitler murded jews.And the rest of the world can now clearly see the zionests for what they realy are."SATANISTS''.It' s time the world called them for what they realy are. Child murderers and rapists. you sic pigs.

American humanitarian --- With a dictator mentality Bobby
“America is scared... scared for the people OF Iran...
In fact if the Iranians play ball it will be a bombing then regime change and
gas prices back to under 2 bucks in America. As an American, I hate to say
it like this but we are waiting for a country to show some heart.” LIGHT
Comes now Bobby the slave-driver, he being of the voting majority that rules Empire USA, the 51% most educated and wealthy who own all the land, property and wealth in USA. So, what Empire builder Bobby desires above all things is for his beloved war-hawk Obama to achieve a dictator-democracy in Iran that is identical to the one that rules Empire USA. For the Green Party in Iran is all of the 51% most educated and wealthy, the ones that Bobby is so “scared for” as he feels how horrible it is that the clerics in Iran refuse to allow the 51% most wealthy to impoverish and enslave the laboring class lower half of society.

LIGHT
Jim Evans
“By good fortune the Christians Islamists and Jews ALL venerate
Elijah.......so why not get our religious leaders together...” LIGHT
As a pacifist I could not agree with you more, so lets share light and get the job done. To wit --- (1) The ancient Greek Christian church was made up of 99% converted Jews, those who agreed to be pacifists as 100% of all Christians at that time were pacifists. This all modern day Christians and Jews must agree to do, otherwise their in a fiction religion and a fake salvation. (2) The Muslim religion was created by intelligent design, as the chosen people were being slaughtered by the Christian Crusades. So, Muslims may continue to use force in self-defense and be among the chosen harmless. But, when a majority of professed Christians and Jews become pacifists, then true Muslims must also become pacifists. (3) Any Elijah revival you may attempt that does not include the above two teachings, it is doomed to fail.

To think it would be bad for America to bomb or attack Iran is a joke. Nobody in America is scared of Iran, Maybe scared for the people OF Iran but without a doubt NOT an Iranian threat of action. Everybody thought Iraq was going to be this long war, The Police action was longer then any battle. Now more then ever people see how the American forces had the people in check. Iran will be the same way, Infact if the Iranians play ball it will be a bombing then regime change and gas prices back to under 2 bucks in America. As an American, i hate to say it like this but we are waiting for a country to show some heart.

John Ellis...you make a fair point about the end of previous empires but we live now in a very different and smaller world where it should now be possible to talk rationally to each other rather than settle disputes with genocide or warfare.
I think it`s time to positively use religions for good rather than as an excuse for imperialism and war.
By good fortune the Christians Islamists and Jews ALL venerate Elijah.......so why not get our religious leaders together (they are really just politicians after all)...and get them to come up with a credible unifying religious movement around the story of Elijah`s heroic quest?

BEST GUESS
Brian
“Americans and Israelis simply cannot attack Iran
because the consequences of such madness would
bring them to their knees in the long run.” WINDOW INTO REALITY
If our life depended upon a right guess, then above is about the best theory going, for a wild guess at the future depends upon knowing the intent going down in a man’s mind, which could change from one moment to the next. For the corporate rich who rule America, they suffer an addiction to wealth and power, the most self-gratifying and negative feedback enslaving obsession known to man. For once a man has excessive wealth, the more wealth he has the more he feels deserving of wealth and all the more is he willing to be brutal to get wealth, all the more will he kill anyone who endangers his hoard of wealth. For what a man feels he deserves, this is his highest priority in life, his watermark to achieve and it controls every aspect of his mind, character and personality. And this is the greatest danger for a world so fool as to allow an Empire to overreach itself, by getting so big its military cannot inflict enough brutal imperialism to plunder sufficient to sustain itself. For when the freefall begins, when Empire builders see the cannibalizing of all their wealth, fame and glory, surely they go insane, nuts and crazy. Such that if World War Three has a win chance of one in a billion, then grabbing all their nukes they will charge into the abyss as the battle cry goes out, “Dam the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!

Think before you speak. 1. As a wise old man once told me swearing is the last vestige for someone who is not smart enough for an intellectual response. 2. I do not live in Israel. 3. Sticks and stones will break my bones but your ignorance will never hurt me!

KNEES JERKING SYNDROME The most intelligent men on earth rule Empire USA, which means that they ate the most, cunning, shrew, crafty, wealthy and greedy. For to prove the harm in this brainpower dictatorship called earth, this is what our miserable life is all about. Take all the harassment being jammed down the throats of all who live in Iran, with every man, women and child in high school knowing that their economy and good reputation are being destroyed by the greedy Western world. And home upon hope in their hearts do all the corporate rich in the West that Iran does some aggressive action that shows anger, anything that shows anger as only terrorists show anger, and with a vengeance shall Western bombs come flying out of the sky.

Americans and  Israelis simply cannot attack Iran because the consequences of such madness would bring them to their knees in the long run. If they could they had already done it in 2001 or 2003 while Iran wasn't as strong as it is now. It's just barking, no biting for sure.
