Iran president: 'Not feasible' for Israel to live

Well.. This I do not agree with at all.. There are many reasons for the middle east mess, intolerance is one of the biggest reasons, and the lack of understanding and accepance by the arab nations are also highly relevant.

They could also make the middle east a peaceful place by inviting the Palestinians to their countries, and recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

They could, but I doubt Palestinians or their neighbors would be very welcome to the idea at this point in time. Try to look at it from a realistic perspective. Israel has repeatedly demonstrated that it fails at diplomacy and would rather strike at its neighbors to increase its perceived deterrence. This makes peace impossible.
 
We were talking about his most recent comments. He does not call for the extermination of Israel, but points out that it is quickly becoming apparent that the "Zionist Regime" cannot be a part of a peaceful ME.




:lol: so in other words, kick the jews into the sea because HAmmas wont stop with the rockets until every one is exterminated. :roll:


Do you agree with him?

No, your "in other words" = epic FAIL

Its obvious you care little for the "Breaking News". You'd rather just dwell on past statements and ignore the real picture.
 
Israel's invasion of Gaza shows again that it only knows how to use overwhelming military force to solve its problems.

You're criticizing Israel's use of force in response to Hamas's use of force?

There are many ways to apply military force. Israel should use the way which leads to peace, not the way that demonstrates their willingness and ability to use military might.
 
To pretend Iran is a democracy is ignorant.

It is a democracy. Except the most important part of the government which is the "Islamic" state institutions.

The president was democratically elected just like in the US.
And they have an elected parliament..

Iranian presidential election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basically the same process as in the US.. A primary and an election.

Here as the contestants..

Iranian presidential election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Interesting point is this...

The registration of the candidates finished on May 14, 2005 and 1014 candidates had registered to run, including many people who didn't have the qualifications required in the law. More than 90% of the candidates were men, and there were about ninety female candidates. The law about the election process does not include any requirements for people who want to register to run: it only provides qualifications that are to be checked by the Guardian Council.

Wow, man. Add one more thing to the list.

Iran is not a democracy. Read up on it. People are only allowed to vote for candidates approved by the mullahs. that is not democracy.

Yes, and the US are only allowed to vote on people allowed by the "parties".. Iran IS a democracy.

Over 1000 people ran for the 2005 presidency.. How many ran in the US 2008 election?

The only way which war leads to peace is through winning.

And the members of those parties select the candidates.

1000 people who all had to be pre-approved by religious leaders whose only wish is to continue their own power.

Sort of reminds us of how the US federal government will never relinquish its power, eh?

Since the US government is actually elected by the people of the country who else would you suggest have it? The trees?

That doesnt prove that Iran is not a democracy, because it is.. Everything you say here applies to US democracy as well.

The states, the people. You're missing the point. When was the last time the size and scope of the federal government shrunk?

The government of Iran is also elected by the people, if you cant admit that, there is something really wrong here..

Israel only wants to exist in peace. They just can't seem to catch a break from the "Mental East"....oops I meant "Middle East" around them. They have tried every aproach to peace but it is always ended by the CLEAR PROVOCATIONS of Hamas and others who don't want them to exist anywhere.

If Iran says it is not feasible for Israel to live (exist) and somehow a nuclear weapon accomplishes it to be that Isreal no longer exists, then Iran and Hamas should no longer exist shortly after.

Ironically we would probably be saving Irans existance if we stop them from getting nuclear weapons:doh

Your ignorance on the topic shines brightly from your words.

Israel's history shows war after war each followed by an increase in Israel's land holdings and a more severe negative Arab reaction. They have used nothing but war in their approach to peace. The options are clear. Israel must change its strategy or the entire Middle East must forgive all past ills. Which do you see as more feasible?

Really? Does the US have an unelected Supreme Leader who controls all government decisions?

What are you talking about? Iran is not a democracy, it's a totalitarian, theological oligarchy. It is without a doubt the most repressive regime in the region. The elections are a pointless sham and not even remotely legitimate.

And what he said did not apply to the U.S.

You're drastically overemphasizing the amount of influence he has in Iran. He makes key policy decisions, but does not directly run every aspect of the government. He's basically like our supreme court. He can interpret the constitution as he pleases to enforce law, policy, and social issues.
