		<description>I have read your complete article and found it very very informative and realistic, I know currently the Govt. of Pakistan is supporting USA and in fact USA is allowed by pakistani Govt. to deliver bombs anywhere in Pakistan,

USA is getting support by Paki Govt. not by paki people as USA is considers in pak the biggest enemy of Pakistan especially Muslims, As it has shown the willingness to kill muslims everywhere in the world.

USA and Israeli is shouting that Iran can produce nuclear weapons which is completely baseless as Iran accepted the supervision of (IAEA) but when this organization took actions according to USA and Israeli desire than Iran had no choice except stop cooperating with IAEA and Iran did that which is his right !

I have to point out to you that USA is the only nation who has more than 10,000 nuclear weapons and it is still producing more nuclear weapons which is quite amazing,

I want to ask any American including you, that why your country produced such a big quantity of nuclear weapons, i think 150 to 200 nuclear weapons will be enough for the destoryment of the whole world, so in that occasion 10,000 or more nuclear weapons should be considered to threaten the world or it should be considered for the betterment of the humanity ?

Did you remember what Israel did with Lebanon in recent years and what was USA attitude towards the fight ? I can tell you truly and frankly, that USA was supporting Israel to kill innocent people of Lebanon bcoz they were Muslims, The United Nations passed the resolution and condemned Israeli act but it was your country dear who continued supporting Israeli and WETO the resolution.

And then Lebanon people along with Sheikhs started fighting and sent many Rockets in Israel which caused the several causalities and fear in people and as the time passed Sheikhs gain more power and it was time when Israel was under attack, which was not acceptable for USA.

Then simply USA supported the resolution and fighting was stopped but during air strikes in Lebanon, Israel killed countless innocent people including innocent kids which were just like roses.

Can anybody tell me how much money USA has spent on producing these nuclear weapons, I think the amount canâ€™t be calculated as it must be in countless figure, so what do you think my dear, if this amount could have spent for the betterment of poor nations and for those who have no food, no water, no cloth, no medication, I am quite sure said amount might have changed the whole life of those needy people if it was used for the betterment of these people but why?

It was not a duty of USA to help those needy people, instead of this, the aim of USA was to kill more and more innocent people around the world especially Muslims.

Now the Israel pushing USA to attack IRAN due to iran nuclear activities which are not true, Did you remember, the same objection raised by USA before attacking IRAQ but could not find any prove of nuclear/chemical weapons, and during this war, You americans lost your soldier who were you sons, brothers, fathers and of course they were killed as they considered enemy.

I am quite sure, if the USA will attack Iran, then it must be a start of world war 3 which will spread around the world, and i am sorry but it is true that you ( Americans ) will have to face toughest time during war as you will be fired from everywhere and you know why it will be bcoz of your Governmentâ€™s adopted policies.

Here, In pakistan, if you are a foreigner then people will honor you but if they come to know that you are a American, You will see an anger in their eyes which is bcoz of your Govt. policies for the Muslims,

Now USA and allies ( NATO ) attacking pakistan everyday and Govt. of Pakistan (PPP) is just formally protesting the strikes, In these Strikes they have killed many many females and kids who were completely innocent.

I do not why USA is not understanding that these kind of activities will make more terroristâ€™s bcoz if a family member dies in these attacks, the other family members have two options, 1.keep silence and be patient, 2.fight with them.

So in this way, many of them keep silence and many of them decides to fight and kill their enemy who killed their loved ones.

Therefore they are not terrorists but you are terrorist who insisted them to take gun for their satisfaction.

I am writing this letter to you just to clarify the differences between terrisiom bcoz i know the life is so small and itâ€™s better for every one to spend life peacefully.

In the meanwhile, However, Neither Pakistani Govt, nor Pakistani Armed Forces responding Amercian Attacks which will be caused biggest violation in country.

Your comments will be awaited !

		<description>How can you talk about the &quot;complete nullification of the Constitution?&quot; If the Constitution has been completely nullified how do you have the freedom of speech to lambaste the United States on this blog? If the Constitution has been nullifed how do you and the anti-war crowd have the freedom of speech and assembly to have large protests? I think you should stop the hyperbole, it is not helpful.

And why can&#039;t more people study history, Lincoln suspended the Writ of Habeas Corpus during the Civil War, but yet our nation, and our Constitution are still here! Lincoln would make Bush look very mild by comparison. If you study Constitutional law and history, you will see that the powers of government tend to increase during war-time. The rationale being that a nation&#039;s pirmary duty is to protect its citizens from attack.</description>

		<description>I stand corrected on point 1. In any case, if it&#039;s a case of short-term/medium-term economic loss vs. controlling the world&#039;s energy supply (he who controls the oil, controls the world), then we should be clear about what choice Bush will make there.

Bourgeois Lib wrote in response to me: &lt;i&gt;Slight correction here. The Israelis do have F-15 long range fighters and airborne tankers, giving them an air-to-air refueling capability. So itâ€™s not technically impossible for the IAF to hit targets in Iran.&lt;/i&gt;

They have refuelling capability but they&#039;d have to refuel twice over Iraqi/Saudi airspace to get there and back. Furthermore, the nuclear sites are deep underground and the munitions their American-made fighters carry cannot really do a lot of damage to them (I&#039;m assuming they won&#039;t use nuclear weapons). To carry out a semi-effective strike they need B52s, B2s, and F-117 stealth bombers and only Uncle Sam has those.

Also, Iran is pretty mountainous, which would eat up quite a bit of fuel flying under the radar. Lastly, the IAF does not have enough tankers to refuel their entire AF which would be necessary to take out the air defense systems that surround their nuclear reactors and government buildings.

This is why I say the IAF won&#039;t play any significant role in the attack on Iran. Too many logistical and political hurdles to overcome.</description>

		<description>Bourgeois Liberal,

&quot;After all, from the Israeli perspective thatâ€™s what the US is for, to carry out Israeli policy without risking any Israeli lives.&quot;

Yes, it would seem so, wouldn&#039;t it? But while considered a &quot;friend&quot; and, therefore, blameworthy in having such a perspective at all, have they not been taught over the years that there is virtually no limit to what we will tolerate from them? I recall once having an e-mail exchange with Gary Bauer, one time Republican presidential candidate, and among those currently leading ReichsChurch support for a confrontation with Iran, asking him for a satisfactory explanation of the Pollard episode. Oh, everybody does it, he offered. Perhaps Bauer and those like him with similar viewpoints ought to be to be tried for espionage along with Rosen and Weissman next January.

		<description>Kolko &quot;might as well be a Holocaust denier&quot; because he&#039;s skeptical that something will happen in the future? That would be an outrageous libel if it weren&#039;t so nonsensical. 

Seriously, people, think before you type.</description>

		<description>Voice of America and Fiasco at Persian Service.
Millions of dollars are spent in Persian Service of Voice of America but the end result is nothing but scandalous way of cockamamie management and programming.
It is hard to believe but the Persian Service which supposed to be an organization to convey the policy of the U.S. has become a free platform for hard-line terrorist group of communists who attack the United Sates!
I have the documents in writings to prove that these were done with the full knowledge of the management.
I used to work there and as I said before, I have all the documents in writings.
The manager is a woman called Sheila Gandji who can not read and write Persian. Therefore, in order to hide this shortcoming from the higher management, she has hired an eighty something man called Kambiz Mahmoudi who has a lengthy background as crook and in charlatanism.
You expect a doctor to be in charge of a medical clinic. You expect an engineer to be in charge of an engineering department. You expect a plumber to fix your plumbing.
So why do you expect a person who has no education in Iran and doesn&#039;t know the language of that country should be in charge of publicity, literature or politic for such position?
Sheila Gandji falsely pretended and presented herself as educated with background in journalism. These are absolute fabrications. Nobody in Iranian communities inside of the country or outside has any knowledge about her being a journalist, then and now.
Her partner, Kambiz Mahmoudi is a hateful and despicable person whose activities as crook are widely known through out Iran. Can&#039;t the U.S. government appoint somebody without such shameful background and baggage? 
Donâ€™t think that this is a personal vendetta.
Let me quote you a view from another media: 
&quot;The Iran Steering group concluded that much of the anti-American perspective that is broadcast is the result of decisions made by station managers in Washington D.C. and Prague. Sheila Gandji, the manager of Persian service has faced sharp criticism, particularly for her decision to stop VOA shortwave radio program in July, 2006 in order to focus on television broadcasts, which are more susceptible to censorship, since the government regularly confiscates satellites dishes in order to prevent the infiltration of foreign broadcasts.&quot;
This is not the only one. The mismanagement at the Persian Service of Voice of America is the subject of hundreds of sites and articles indicative of disgusts and ridicules in the world about VOA.
The bizarre situation at the Persian Service of Voice of America caused even the Republican Senator Coburn to write a long letter to President Bush about the fiasco there.
It is only in America where the government pays to be insulted. Really, why Voice of America is doing this harm to our nation?</description>

		<description>American forces did not invade the &quot;whole of Europe&quot; in WW Two. They advanced to a line well east of Germany&#039;s western frontier, but did so with comparative ease only because of the Russian offensive in the east.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Israel will not participate in any meaningful way due to the enormous political and logistical difficulties. Plus they have no bombers, only fighters.&lt;/i&gt;

Slight correction here. The Israelis do have F-15 long range fighters and airborne tankers, giving them an air-to-air refueling capability. So it&#039;s not technically impossible for the IAF to hit targets in Iran. But I doubt that they would do so anyway. After all, from the Israeli perspective that&#039;s what the US is for, to carry out Israeli policy without risking any Israeli lives.</description>
