If you really look in to the modern world starting circa late 1990s, it would appear obvious that the World Power status has been slipping from the Americans and the Western world and to the Eastern part of the world. Iran has the same right as America to be a world power. For those who still suspect (and still believe that America is all great) check out these articles 1 - Hamish Makray - 30th May 2007 (The Independent) 2 - Bill Jemmison - 16th December 2007 ( Scotland on Sunday). These articles show that in the American and Western business and Wall Street, shares are increasingly being bought by Middle East and Asian investors.

Actually, honkoweenie, I am not sure who is who or what's up in the Middle-East anymore about who would fire missiles first. The whole region is so volatile and I do not know who has alliance or treaty either. It seems to me a very bad potential no matter who fires the first shot - I think everyone would jump into the fight really quickly.

FRED P JONES USA, Another American jingo with an American Jingoist line. I wonder, what is "The Free World"? How "free" is it? Which nations are covered by its "freedom"? Does it actually EXIST? Put that in your morning coffee, and reconsider your argument, my friend. If you claim that Americans in the US are "free", why don't you take another gander at the 'Patriot Act', since you are clearly a patriot yourself. You might find yourself behind bars for spitting on the sidewalk, one of these fine, "free" days...That passes for 'terrorism' in 2008. By the way, I'm REALLY terrified aren't you?

HUNUCRU, US, Have you read 1984, by George Orwell: His prediction when writing after WW II was that a future totalitarian government would brainwash its citizens with such statements as yours: War is Peace. How absurd, your point of view!

LEONARD, New Hampshire, USA, I suggest you ask yourself this question: Which do you think would be more likely to use nuclear weapons in warfare Iran or Pakistan?

there is no chance of separating israel and the united states. israel=united states and that's 100% reality. iran is not an enemy to general americans who are christians. infact iran is the enemy of the extremist jews who are living in the us and dominating the us politics by funding the parties or lobbying, whatever you say. iraq was invaded because the jews forced the whitehouse as most of the political parties in the us are hugely dominated by the jews. so i don't see any differences between the us and israel. so due to occupation, isreal HAD many arab enemies and they were being crushed politically/economically in the past by the us. israel has also enemies like iran and syria now which are also taken as enemies of the us. so i think if the us don t get rid of the darkshadow of the jews, wars among the us and the mideast countries is inevitable. the us soldiers will be giving life and the general people will be carrying the burden by paying taxes and israel will be getting the benefit of everything!

Three letters for you Fred A.D.D. Your tripe about Christianity not forcing itself on others violently says all that needs to be said about your intelligence. Christianity is soaked in the blood of innocents. And only a fool would say otherwise.

Hunucru, United States: Sorry sweetie but my IQ will only go so low, so I’m having trouble understanding you. Are you calling me, or the US a chicken, or exactly what are you trying to convey? Go get your mom and have her type your answer. She can help you with the big words as you are trying to play in the big kids play house. Peace and Prosperity to All Our Sisters and Brothers of Earth

Hey Aladdin, I hear Iran has many, as in 'beaucoup' centrifuges, and I hear some analysts predict enough for 1 war-head in 1 year. You are the geologist and your point is well taken that the middle-east does not have the uranium deposits. So, where are the raw materials for processing from, or is more BS&Propaganda to give excuse to invade Iran as we did Iraq over WMD that never existed?
