OnlyIran:

I guess you have set the record straight regarding your patriotism and when and how you would be willing to move a finger in fighting the IRI.

With clowns like you, no wonder IRI has been able to stay in power as long as they have.

diplomacy wins

What is wrong with diplomatic attempt in averting the possible war on Iran.

Is anyone disappointed?

OnlyIran

Totally agree. And what gets me is this attitude that Khamenei/ AN think they can indefinately cheat by "chooneh zadan" and "hogheh bazi". Iranian people are helpless and cannot defend themselves, but the world will only suffer fools for so long. I would also like Iran to be a superpower in the future, but not under an fascist Islamist regime which murders its own people.

I agree.  This whole notion that if you don't march lockstep behind the IRI you're somehow anti-Iran is ridiculous.  As you point out, we are where we are because of the IRI.  Despite their belligerence to the contrary, they hid their nuclear program for more than twelve years in direct violation of the NPT.  Then they reneged and cheated on agreements.  And now they want the whole world to trust them.

And as I have mentioned in my blogs before, the biggest warmongers are IRI and IRI supporters, who by their behavior are putting the lives and livelihood of Iranians in jeopardy.  And they have created this myth that everyone wants to attack them and they are the knights in shining armor who are going to come to the rescue of the Iranian people.

What a load of crap! 

I say it again. diplomacy wins

way to go next super powers of the world......... Turkey, Brazil and Iran.

And to war mongering neo cons and aipac stooges,  sorry that prospect of war on Iran might have become somehow dimmer by this move.

Better luck next time.

OnlyIran jan

it is sad that such people support anything with the stamp of Iran on it and think somehow they are better people and more patriotic for it. It is a sad day for Iranians I know, but one has to be honest in order to improve Iran and accept fault where it is due. Otherwise things will always remain the same. Believe me I have family in Iran, I do NOT want sanctions, but we are where we are because of IRI's behaviour.

Mehrdad gets personal because that is the only thing that a person can do when he / she has no valid or logical response to an argument.  

This is not good news for

This is not good news for anybody. Neither IRI nor poor Iranian people like our families who still live back home. But it is indeed IRI fault to not heed Obama's warning and calling him a KaKa Siyah instead.

I will fight the "same regime" and will stop being a "table too khali" when you send me a picture of yourself with an AK-47 in front of an Israeli tank in Gaza.  You cry day and night here on this site for Palestinians.  What have you done to support them, your people in Palestine?  

I am not cheering for anyone.  I am pointing out the sad, but true, facts.  The IRI and its clan are hooing and hawing about bloodying the "imperialists' nose", when in fact nothing has changed.  Sanctions are still coming, because just like you, the IRI has no credibility.   

Mehrdad

Why get personal? Please be honest and objective.

I guess "onlyiran" means, lets cheer for destroying only Iran

In Farsi, they are referred to as "table too khali" Lots of sound bits and cheer leading but never have the guts to move a finger in support of Iran and Iranians or fighting the very same regime they profess to despite.

Sanctions are coming because

Iran is in clear violation of its international obligations because it is continuing amassing enriched uranium. Clinton has also criticized what she called the “amorphous timeline for the removal” of the low enriched uranium. Reading the terms, she said, “that could take months of further negotiation and that is just not acceptable to us and to our partners.”

Iranian offer is an attempt to undercut the emerging consensus on sanctions. Iran said today that it would continue its 20% enrichment, which is a direct violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

Also the Joint Declaration issued in Tehran is vague about Iran’s willingness to meet with the P5+1 countries to address international concerns about its nuclear program, as it also agreed to do last October.

To blame the West for not wanting to resolve this issue is silly. Iran has been playing for time and I am surprised sanctions have taken so long to come considering the games Iran has been playing.

Not so fast buddy

Sanctions are coming:

//www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/05/18/iran.sanctions/index.html?hpt=T1

Sanction and War is the language of the Western powers and

their allies. Mrs Clinton has already pushed the sanction proposal and has announced it today. Lula is not being taken seriously by them, neither is Turkey. This is what is being reported:

"The US state department and others in the G8 and in Brazil, had been ridiculing President Lula for even attempting to mediate in the conflict.

"He's letting Brazil's emerging power status get to his head" and "He thinks he's playing in the majdor leagues!", a top level US state department official recently mocked."

So what does it leave us with? A new war against Iran? What a madness. 

COP: I can't be dumb enough to say I know

But yes, my gut feeling is Iran (IRI) is after the nuke or the know-how option to gain more regional power, protect themselves from designs of regime change and as a deterrent.

I do NOT believe that they will ever use it against other member countries [first] or the Iranian people as some here suggest nor ever give it to an organization to use it since that would surely mean the end of Mullah and they will never risk their own neck.

Mehrdad

but mehrdad,

I'm sure you believe that the mullahs want nukes only for the relentless ability to power their mosques, right?

____________

IRAN FIRST

____________

Never believed in the West

Never believed in the West sincerity in wanting to resolve this issue peacefully with keeping Iran rights to nuclear power in tact and still don't believe it.
