Many people support the iranian president in wiping off the israely state? Where did you get that? There was a protest of those Neturei Karte and there were like 30 people demonstrating against the israely state. I did not know 30 people is many in Israel.

You did not state in your article that ADJ won his election fairly and thus every body has to accept this as a political fact and deal with it.

I am bothered by the term "reform" as it is used by the Western Press. The word is clearly a "white" Propoganda term intended to imply that Iran could reform itself by ignoring the past injustices perpetrated against her by the west by opening up her arms in a warm kiss of friendship, peace, and love to a "benevolent?" west? Nothing could be more sinister. In short, Iran should forget that Israel and America have waged covert and overt war and accept dialog, no questions asked. How ludicrous is this? Ronald Reagan and then Sadaam Hussein funded and waged war against Iran. They seezed her assets. Now, they call for her Obliteration. Lastly, they keep the door open for Nuclear Annihilation. Are Iranians expected to forget this threat and "reform" themselves? How does that work? Perhaps the iranian voter is not as stupid as American democracies think she is. The young generally are clueless but it seems that Iranian youth are not falling into this trap.

Israel was set-up as a country by those who wanted to own the whole world. Tragically, the Israeli people have been used, abused and now the whole world wants them discarded because they appear to be the sickest of our species. Drugs galore and the gay parade attracted how many? Women who are post-50 and due to the advanced technology are birthing sons to replace those who died in the war! Israel needs help and Iran needs to understand that the banksters who set-up countries are to blame, not the human beings who have been used as disposable commodities. ALL WORLD LEADERS need to step into this current century and look at how much time we have together behaving as barbarians.

Trotsky 69, I suppose your historal arrows are solely pointed at the US and its foreign policy. But I ask, should the Afghanis offer the kiss of friendship to Russia after the Soviet invasion? And shall you thank the US for training and arming Afghani liberation fighters against Soviet forces? I remember my miss spent Trotsky days. Days when neo-Trotskyist capitulate to radical forces of government such as Theocratic states; the very same ones who would backstab(literally) the atheist in all Trotskyist. You seem to forget the US doctrine of "Containment" when it came to the exporting of Soviet Communism. Your needle working of history fails you to see the larger print, and although not all defendable, the US put its chess pieces where it did. Just as the USSR, e.g. North Korea. It is hard leftist who will gladly holds hands with a Theocratic radical in denying the holocost, but not raise an eyebrow to the poor treatment of women, or executions of gay men in those same theocratic states. Solzhenitsyn said "America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense, it is the other way around. Human Rights invented America."

@Karl, I just want to add one thing here: Based on one of Mr. Putin's recent comments, I also express my beliefs on the matter: You cannot blame Russia for the actions of the Soviet Union. The USSR is gone, and with it, any chance of blaming a country for the invasion of Afghanistan. If the afghan people are smart enough, they would accept the opportunity of strengthening their relations with Russia.
