Top 10 Reasons to Attack Iran Now:

10) With Interest rates at an all time low, what better time to finance a new war.
9) The US military needs to keep our youth gainfully employed, since we outsourced all our jobs to China.
8) Iran has blocked the sale of Persian rugs as a result Chinese counterfeits have flooded the markets.
7) The USA must find a safe place to dispose of 100,000 old DU shells since Iraq has stored all they could.
6) Japan has proved that nuclear energy is totally unsafe, so we cannot allow another Fukushima!
5) We must not postpone the inevitable since the road to hell is short.
4) The Iranians did 911 it wasn’t Moammar Qaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, or 19 Saudis!
3) Israel is in dire need of Iranian missiles to help it clear the West Bank and Gaza for future development.
2) The Almighty Yahweh ordained it He’s tired of playing second fiddle to Allah.
1) If we wait till November and Ron Paul wins he won’t let us.

Putin is a good ,sane man . He can make a difference in this world full of lies and killings. I know he has love for animals particularly tigers.And Man is the most superior creation of God. So if he can save the life of even a single man by God's Grace that would be rewarding .God is with the honest people only.              "If Iran attains Nuclear Weapon power will be balanced,Israel's torture of Palestinians will  be stopped, US and their agent countries will flee out of fear,West won't  dare to create coup or unstability ,Palestinians will get their living place which have been stolen from them. The world will see peace.So hypocrite West shut off your mouth and stop your hypocrisy.The world need some good leaders who care human life first."

Putin’s methods are in a long and ignoble tradition of Russian politics: the exercise of fear. 'That’s true of his private way of conducting politics, and it’s true of his public rhetoric. He is the heir to the great Russian tradition of “we are a country under siege” poli­tical rhetoric, which has been used throughout Russian history.     Putin acts like that little chicken Calimero: 'It's not fair because they are great and I'm small,' and that's precisely what lots of Russians characterizes, a inferiority complex from here to Tokio.

Peculair statements by Putin. He had made statements that any religion should be practiced within the laws of a state, seperating state and religion as most of the western countries do. Iran does it the other way around.
The supreme leader of Iran (Khamenei) decides what is happening within Iran, not the president (Ahmadinejad) nor the abolished prime minister (last one Mousavi). That became very clear during the last elections for presidency. There are no elections for the supreme leader by the way.If there will ever be a regime change for Iran it will undoubtedly origin out of dissatisfaction of a great part of the Iranian people with the politics of Khamenei. Iran interferes a lot within other states, which completely contradicts Russia's position. Lebanon is an example of that policy, where Iran backed Hezbollah refuses to integrate with the rest of Lebanon.
Peculiar statements of Putin. Blaming the US for wanting a regime change? It looks to me Putin is hoping for a regime change within Iran by the US so Putin can take shelter behind the back of that ' brutal' US to gain profits of it at the same time. The US eliminating the threat as seen by Putin and Makarov, getting a halt to uncontrolled migration and spread of Islam far behind Russians borders.
If there will ever be a regime change for Iran it will undoubtedly origin out of dissatisfaction of a great part of the Iranian people. Iran changing towards the Turkish model will very likely become truth in the foreseeable future. Strange that I'm getting again lots of negative votes.
I qoute lots of statement made by Putin.Are you guys negative about Putin perhaps?Or suffering form double standards perhaps?

I agree with most of the comments here. Russia is a great and glorious nation. I only wish God had seen fit that I was born their and not the Useless States, and that my Russian ancestors had not left Russia (the USSR) -- see things always get better if you wait!. 
I have great respect and admiration for Mr. Putin and wish him the best of luck in the upcoming elections and in his new tenure as President of Russian Federation. It is great to see a LEADER who LEADS not like the lark's vomit that we have in the US. Between the Christian right nut cases in this country and the so-called Democratic Party the nation is sliding to hell. If you would like to add 50 new provinces to the new great and glorious Russian Empire there are some of us who would welcome it. I would love to see the Russian navy anchored in Boston harbour and all the other harbours in America on a permanent basis. 
With love adoration and respect for Holy Mother Russia,
Rick Allwood-Babiack

The longer the embargo against Iran, the more unviable the "NABUCCO" pipeline. So, the U.S. needs a regime change in Iran before the end of the year. If the U.S. keeps the embargo against Iran, then the only viable alternative will be the Russian-led "SOUTH STREAM" initiative....

Any person who is able to throw out the Rothschild sponsored Oligarchs from Russia deserves absolute respect. Putin threw these leaches out because he loves his country.

Lead ers of other nations should take note of how their countries should be LEAD!

Failure to do so will guarantee that leaders of Western nations will go down for treason.

Mr. Putin, why you’ve been silent till now, who has drunken your administration including Medvedev? Is it Obama that that gave the poisonous McDonald’s burger to Medvedev?  You know that the world supports you. Go ahead boldly and step on the serpent-zionist head and crash it, because if you don’t the world will go into a grave. I appeal to those confused and stupid minds that are against Mr. Putin to sober up and research well who are the Zionists, what they believe, what they want to do and why? It is beyond evil because behind all of them stands the master-Satan who is against the creation of the living almighty God. Again to those that are not sober yet that don’t know nothing about the evil Zionist that are always hiding behind the corrupt America and all with them that are drunken by the Zionists You need to support Putin and any one like minded because he is doing right and thinking for your good and safety. Of course no one in the right mind wants and needs war againts humanity except the zionist, but is there any other solution against that evil to stop. Not in vain Jesus condemned the Zionist that their father is Satan and so on. And they did crucify Him All is writhen in the bible-the living word of God.   My friend Putin may God bless your family, your administration and your country in Jesus name I pray. Blagoslovit Bog tvoi dom.

Oh boy, so many people still thinking that west is doing great deeds in middle east, then why there was so many massacres in Lybia after new 'democratic' goverment took over?? I'd say finish your job in countriest that u have bombarded and destroyed their infrastructure first then go for another... And again someone said here that he was born in Syria and is living in netherlands that he can benefit from free media and free internet and that Putin 'kills' people in rusia that are against him, I got a question then, was it Russia that accepted ACTA that is a huge strike on free internet or was it Netherlands ?? I realy respect Putin for his strong will against the west and i think he should keep up the good work.

Yes pascal but that is changing now across Europe with the rise of far left and right wing national parties due to the debt crisis and collapse of the welfare system, and Holland is no exception. -> Insert Geert Wilders.There is no such thing as democracy. Any nation is as democratic as the financiers who fund the politicians 'elections'.

Gregg (unregistered) wrote in #12 So sad to see Fox news brainwashed citizens in my country. Look into yourself and wonder the human rights the religious right has murdered numerous women and children in the ME countries so they can hold on to their holy land using Israeli's as slaves to protect it. BRAINWASHED and BLINDED by religion. Not to mention all the people you have murdered in America for it by starving homless people and/or jailing them so you can murder our military over other countries laws which are NONE of your BUSINESS. You must be a Good Nazi , however--still a Nazi.

OMG hahahaa I laughed so hard when I read this comment! I am living in the netherlands and was born in syria. I watch most arabic newschannels and dont watch foxnews, we dont have that in the netherlands. Here in holland I dont get killed when I oppose my government, instead of that they listen to us. Putin kills everyone in his way or locks them up in prisons. I neither support imperialism from america I hate it even! But dont play like a innocent child here, and get your facts straight about your country, I know you guys are afraid getting arrested putting a bad comment at this side (who knows kgb is reading your IP) lol. Im glad I can read all the websites that get blocked in your country because they speak the truth. Im glad I am allowed to watch all kind of tv stations from all over the world and see with my own eyes (in arabic media) what is happening in the world. I still love every humanbeing on this earth even the people here that call me a nazi or whatever, I dont care because we all have red blood but you guys are blinded by hatred to everyone who has a other mindset. Because you are used to live in dictatorship. I understand it even.... You cannot know better if you grow up where government and parents teach to hate everything outside communism, you can help it I feel pitty for you.

The West wants regime change in Iran because the West wants to limit oil sales to China.

In all honesty, imagine your neighbors preventing you from putting bread on the table for your family... like you  are supposed to be grateful for your neighbors input into your private affairs.

Wher e is the justice in the meddling in soverign countries' economic affairs by the US? Does anybody even care that the elite plan to kill off many civilians in Western countries? Enough of this BS already... kill this monster (illuminati) now!

RUSSIA MUST NEVER TRUST THE WEST. Putin understands that. While Russia has remained mostly silent on many global issues the US/NATO has been expanding their empire closer to Russia. They now have compliant regimes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Georgia and are targeting Syria and Iran next. Under no circumstance must Russia allow Western military interventions in Syria of Iran two countries that are close allies of Russia. Russia must be clear to draw the red lines. Any threat against Syria or Iran is a threat against Russia. The Russia-China-Syria-I ran alliance must remain strong to face the threats from the warmongering West.
