[theroomofrequirement]

It scares me that Fox is the most popular news in America.

[eidius1989]

indeed what makes me more scared is that someone like Sarah Palin becomes governor.

[Inni8]

Al-"Jizz"eera lol, is a news channel of terrorist. It is practically run by Al-Queda.

[mostafa789]

US is the greatest terrorist country on Earth and a threat to humanity. They have even used nuclear weapons and have killed innocent human beings in Japan.

[Inni8]

Too bad. Lol

[elmashijueputa]

Shut up, terrorist, the arabics and the middle east habitants are TERRORIST,and dead of hungry, idiot.

[Simba117]

" Even if they withdrew from Jerusalem to 1967, you know that would still be "not good enough" No, I don't know that. How do you know that when the saudi peace initiative which was agreed on by all arabs including most palestenians promised full normalization on relations, total peace for withdrawl to 67 borders.

[Simba117]

Yeah but Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs do not advocate nuclear war. They are not comparable to the zionists and their supporters. Ahmadinejad has a website.Look it up so that you can reach a balanced opinion of your own. Not some zionist B.S. that you have been force-fed by the misrable American media.

[Simba117]

" Palestine is less occupied than a few years ago" ... Not good enough. It's given back land that is not theirs. No thanks here.

And it continues to expand bigger settlements and the annexation of Palestinian lands. The attacks will not stop as long as the land theft goes on. Please, search the facts. Google is a good place to start.

[Simba117]

" Iran would attack despite reprecussions because their leaders are religious maniacs who would like to bring about an apocalyptic war " .... Gimme a break man. You are obviously confusing the Iranians with the zionist christians (Pastor Hagee and his lunatic supporters is an example).

[Simba117]

And " Palestinians elect a terrorist organization to lead their continuously counterproductive lands" ? It's more like continuously decreasing lands.The terrorists are those who occupy other people's land , kick them out of their own homes and build illegal "settlements" on them. Funny how you casually mention " 40 year occupation by the zionist regime" and it never seems like "terrorism" to you.

[Simba117]

Can't find any facts whatsoever in all your responses. Prove that Ahamdenijad said he would sacrifice half of Iran to eliminate Israel. Prove that Iran (the government) is behind American casualties in Iraq. Don't just parrot away the zionist lines.PROVE them

[Simba117]

And if you think muslim life is expendable ? How can you condemn the actions of the minority of muslims who choose to adopt an equal diregard for human life?.

[Simba117]

disregard

[Simba117]

Is this hypothetical and impossible to happen nuclear threat from Iran, worth the loss in human life and destruction that your zionist masters are advocating?

[Simba117]

And since it's question time, let me ask you this? .... Why is Iran threatened with nuclear mass murder, when they do not pose a threat to a single American. And assuming that Iran will develop WMDs - which is not their stated goal- Why would they USE these imaginery WMDs when they are aware of the retaliation that would follow?

[Simba117]

Am amazed you brought that one up. This one really exposed the ugly face of American hypocricy. Yes, the election of Hamas was entirely legitimate as certified by many international observers. However, the Iraqi election was not, because the zionist sponsors and their agents decided that people should on sectarian grounds as opposed to political manifesto. Do you in the states vote on the basis of which candidate is a Protestant , Catholic or Jewish ?

[Simba117]

" the iraqi government was elected by the people, they are neither sellouts nor foreign agents". B.S. They are sellouts and foreign agents bought for by American money that bought the relegious opporunists who decieved the ignorant amongst them. Just like in the US, Money buys you the cheap votes. And there is no legitimate election under occupation. Do you understand ?

[JackNeedles]

The CFR bought out the major network corporations in 1925. The CFR, who want a North American Union, controls what gets on te media. All of the major presidential candidates, except for Ron Paul, are members of the CFR. Folks, Ron Paul is our only hope to stop this brainwashing. Third world countries with no nukes is nothing. The jews have nukes and can take care of it themselves. It's about oil.

[Simba117]

Yeah, it lasted for a night and since then the occupying army has been giving out T-shirts !!!.

Normalcy ?. Iraq life cannot return to (normalcy) as

long as there is an israeli-enslaved American millitary there. Iraqis are a fiercely independent and proud nation. They won't be governed by sellouts and forerign agents. Do you understand?

[Simba117]

I don't love chaos and destruction. The authors of things like(shock and awe) do.

[Simba117]

Good job, Now READ the WHOLE article. Like most war loving people, you have a very short attention span.

Haven't you noticed where it said "where the annihilation of the Zionist regime will come" ?

So he was discussing a "REGIME". Not a nation.

Remember the Apartheid REGIME in SA and Saddam's REGIME ? ALL those who are UNJUST must be "wiped off the map"

[Simba117]

American casualties ? What are they doing in Iraq ?

[Simba117]

Quit the itellectual laziness and look up this

(wiped off the map) story on you tube. you will

find out it's complete garbage. Zionist garbage I must add.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

it presents the fear mongering and untrue statements in the US media, which are daily and on all major media. it promotes the remotely rational reporting as remotely rational, it is not as if they are making up this stuff or interpretting the message, they have clips to show the remotely rational! this is concering to say the least, given the media's role is fooling the US public into thinking iraq was a threat

[jklasdfjdfksl]

also, iran is cooperating with the world governing system in resolving questions about its NPT requrement, unlike the US who refuses to abide the NPT and israel who refuses to acknowledge that they should even be part of it!

[jklasdfjdfksl]

thats not true, but israel and the US have continually threatened iran.... even with nuclear strikes! the US also was intervening in iranian internal affaris for decades and fully funded and supported the horrible iran/iraq war in order to harm iran. the idea that iran is developing nuclear weapons is pure speculation on the part of the US, every monitor and observer says iran would be years from making a warhead if they were trying to, which there is no evidence of.

[msteele79]

Does Iran have the capacity to harm the United States? No. Thinking otherwise is allowing your fear to think for you.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

i agree, the US regime says that iran is a threat to "US interest" in the region, which include their illegally stationed troops in iraq and their other satalite regimes (moderate arab states and israel). still their is no proof that iran is planning to, basing an invasion on unproven suspiscion is illegal.

[msteele79]

There's bias, and then there's an unpopular truth. The fact is that Iran is not a threat to the United States any more than Iraq was.

[brick4sale]

If Iran would stop threatening Israel then maybe Bush wouldn't beat the drum for war so much. Those threats just make it harder to fight those who voice for war with Iran.

[msteele79]

When has Iran ever promised to attack Israel? I've only ever heard them say that it would happen, or it must happen. They've never said 'we will attack Israel.'

[brick4sale]

They have made many threats, about wiping it off the map, they premote anti-Israel, and anti-semite propaganda you know it.

[msteele79]

Propaganda is a part of politics and protecting your power. Every gov't system does it. As for these threats, I'd like to see links, please. The "wiping" you're talking about was not a threat unless you interpret it as one. It could be, sure, but then I'm not a telepath. The words themselves sound more to me like a prediction than a threat. As I said, they never said "we will attack israel."

[jklasdfjdfksl]

at the same time, propaganda can be used to whip up a frenzy for war. it is how despotic leaders fool democratic societies into supporting wars in which only the top buisinesses, and their political allies, stand to benefit. like in pre-WWII germany or post-911 USA.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

it was not a violent threat about destroying israel, it was simply saying that the regimes need to change; but the words have been taken out of context.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

also, i dont think you can call it anti-semetic propaganda because the holocaust discsussions included anit-zionist jews and the main purpose was to test professed western values of freedom of speech after the danish cartoon incident. the west called it anti-semtic and refused to accept this as freedom of speech. jews also live in iran and are not discriminated against and live peacefully side by side muslims, as they have for many centuries.

[brick4sale]

They are discriminated as are the Bahai the only thing that helps them is that they are Persian. Using hostile language towards Israel only inflames those in the lobbies and in the White House Iran should watch it. I don't want a war with Iran, but the lobbyist and others in political power will beat the drum for an attack.

[brick4sale]

If you look at the Iranian media, and recent celebrations it is meant to demonize Jews and Israel. I am not a big fan of Israel but they clearly are using inflammatory rhetoric and you cannot deny the statements by the Iranian president such as the Holocaust didn't happen.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

iran is occupying no territories outside of its borders and is not invading other countries; the real crime they have committed is having interests of their own, outside of US profit and global control. if they fell under US control, like the shah or israel, their nukes would not be a problem. iran only poses a threat to further expansion of a US led genocide in the name of big buisness profit and expanding imperialism.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

this was not meant to be a panel, simply an overview of US propaganda, which reflects the bias inherent in the elite-run US media system. we understand that the US will always have any competition in the world, but to use speculation about a nuclear program in a region that the euro/US should not have been invading and oppressing for the past few centuries, as a reason to expand the catastrophy in iraq is ridiculous and speculative at best.

[BasementFilm]

Excellent programme. Thankyou Al Jazeera.

[scooter952]

get fox news and all its minions off tv!!!

[FindingtheTruth4Me]

I hope no one will take offense but I wish we could impeach Bush, Chenny and Pelosi by either vote or bullet.

[ziggyjig]

If anyone will take offense its the terrorists. If we impeach bush, they might lose.

[scooter952]

yes definately, if george w bush wants to start a war with iran... thats gonna cause some problems... i say impeach bush and cheney but... im a Canadian and if the speaker of the house has as little power as the one here does... i'd say speaker of the house = not... big deal

[FindingtheTruth4Me]

Scooter, if Bush and Chenney were suddenly gone the Speaker of the House would become president.

[scooter952]

i love that quote =)

[FindingtheTruth4Me]

The world sees with both eyes but it is still blind.

Me..........

[liamsijm]

yet another EXCELLENT programme from Al Jazeera English. V.Informative!

[FindingtheTruth4Me]

I hate to ask but does Israel have nukes?

[WimmyRoad]

israel has over 400 nukes

[FindingtheTruth4Me]

Wimmy.. I'm almost afraid to ask but did the USA give Israel the nukes?

[14842]

Omg. Does no one understand that war with Iran is no option? It will bring us terror on to our doorsteps. Mister bloody fool of a president George Bush and his fox news, Iran and its friends and the entire world will hunt you down and cute your troth.

[DamNationDiplomat]

It's funny how little fox news anchors and writers know. If they were more crafty with their propoganda, and actually researched a little, they would know that iran is shia and al qaida is sunni, and, thanks to the iraq invasion, those two groups are no longer getting along.

[freedomanddemocracy]

great video
