  • Hey look Martha, Iran is right next to Australia.

    Of course Iran has no nukes, does it?

    Someone should redraw the map with Israel at the centre of the globe. After all, we know Israel has nukes, and is the only country in the region with nukes.

    In any case, it is because Israel has nukes that surrounding Muslim countries feel the need to get nukes to restore the balance.

    The Jews should stick to religion.

  • Those rigns represent influence, more not nuclear strike capacity.

    That’s what the US and Israel fear more than anything else.

  • The only interesting thing about this is how “out of place” it is … newspaper advertisements against a country? Fortunately, it isn’t an organising claiming to represent one racial grouping setting itself up in opposition to another racial grouping. One might be inclined to interpret that as suggestive of a racist mentality. Oh, wait…

    THE IRAN PLANS

    And some interesting quotes too”

    In Vienna, I was told of an exceedingly testy meeting earlier this year between Mohamed ElBaradei, the I.A.E.A.’s director-general, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, and Robert Joseph, the Under-Secretary of State for Arms Control. Joseph’s message was blunt, one diplomat recalled: “We cannot have a single centrifuge spinning in Iran. Iran is a direct threat to the national security of the United States and our allies, and we will not tolerate it. We want you to give us an understanding that you will not say anything publicly that will undermine us.

    A discouraged former I.A.E.A. official told me in late March that, at this point, “there’s nothing the Iranians could do that would result in a positive outcome. American diplomacy does not allow for it. Even if they announce a stoppage of enrichment, nobody will believe them. It’s a dead end.”
