He doesnt know how to shut the hell up and fix his country hes on a power trip and one of his people need to shuve a nuke up his ass.

[insultmeiinsultya]

did you know that arabs were left to unite their ranks ...they could outclass the west technologicaly and economicaly ?

did you know eh ? did you know ?

they'd feel so ashamed if arabs controlled the promised lands and did things their way ..

but they problem is when the united nations are used to put sanctions against EVERY muslim power nation ..

the united nations losing its credibility and we are gradually slidding into a world war ..

[awdbg]

this is not an arabic countey yaa stupid. it is Iran. learn geography for god sake!!!!!

[v19d]

Maybe we should sent the Whitehouse some Iranian pistachios like the fans of Jericho sent CBS some nuts.

[robotnik16180]

Why don't you go publicly execute some more people...Or refute the existence of gays...Get a life you.

[sepidlove]

[v19d]

This is now new the U.S. government whines about everything. To the U.S. government leave my pistachio nut alone and please grow up Bush and Rice.

[sepidlove]

so fuck us

[v19d]

I meant to put the word not new in my comment.

[Truegeeza]

yes bloody stupid bush supporters go dig your heads in a toilet.

[harshblk]

Bush is out soon you stupid fuck. Am I right? Look at the big picture, not G. Bush. We all know he's pretty dumb. Get over it..

[EVIL1888]

Fuck you.

[davidstmckenn]

forget the rubbish bush and co say about iran sponsoring terrorism, fortunately not all westerners (including me) believe that crap. It´s all about Oil and american interests in the M.East. Americans just want to control what isn´t theirs.

[insultmeiinsultya]

cia doesnt like iranian pistachios cuz they say its empowering iranian military

[v19d]

Yea right they can't tell where the money goes. They have no Intelligence.

[generalmike007]

is there anything this country doesn't have? Mountains, snow, sun, oil, culture, religion, high agriculture, beautiful nature... really wish to visit it some day, alldough you come in the news negative all the time, you seem to impress me more and more.

[persiandudeee]

Don't listen to the u.s media, Iran has everything forest,desert,mountains,snow, ancient sites that are more than 3000 years old, it's a place where you can experience all 4 seasons in one day. Iran is a historical country.

[v19d]

I would love to go there at least the US government dosen't whine about Americans visiting Iran but they do whine if the American people visit Cuba.

[persiandudeee]

Allah bless our nuts!

[MrHairyNutz]

LoL

[winner239]

I love pistachios but they are too expensive in the US. I wish that these two countries could cooperate to make the pistachios available at reasonable prices.

[SpudXXXX]

Who has the biggest nuts America or Iran?

Oh! your talking about edible nuts. I thought you were talking about politicians.

[EsotericDesi]

Americans spread too many rumors if other nation don't agree w/ them 100%... That's not a good way to promote democracy and moderation in the world... Russia's history teaches us that iron fist don't lead to successes.

[v19d]

The US government likes to whine about everything even about Castro and which people know he is a dictator. But the US government bars its citizens from Traveling to Cuba because they whine like a bunch of crybabies.

[wilfredsnipple]

get off my nuts.

[supermanpaki]

Great ! i agree

[BUDDAWG2004]

6 pages of comments on this story...wtf?

[TAMARLANE]

Thanks for your contribution.

;p)

[orangekayak]

Maybe they can get Ahmadinejad and Bush on "Celebrity Death Match."

[satanismybrother]

hmm, so that story has one factory owner stating that the US were spreading false rumours....this isnt great journalism, is there any other evidence that US nut farmers have been smearing the Iranian pistachio industry? Im open minded but I want to see some facts

[PuppyHate]

NO BLOOD FOR PISTACHIOS!

[calcityjoe]

I clicked on the link from Aljazeera thinking this would be a story about the two country's nuts... Ahmanadjad and Bush... Oh well maybe they'll get to that story another time.

[2993frig]

SILLY VAGINAS

[2993frig]

MY NAN HAS RABIES

[hezakkkk01]

the US pistachios are small and they are Genetically engineered. These Iranian pistachios however are 100% natural and huge and tasty ... i rather buy the iranian one ... i dont care what their govenment is doing, but the pistachios sure taste great! :)))

[seka1986]

@hezakkkk01 Iranian pistachios taste like dog shit.

[Ayeere]

Welcome to "Free trade". The 2 governments pretty much bitch everytime the other one does not say "Bless you" after one of them sneezes.

Why was no American firm or worker interviewed?

[arkuis]

Thats a very good question, why was no American firm or worker interviewed?

[supermanpaki]

Because they are gay and it is dangerous to interview them. One may get HIV

[dswynne]

Actually, it more to keep the local farmers happy, than what's going on over in Africa. Happy farmers = votes.

[usama2]

Tamir, you do not understand American imperial capitalism. The global economy is a battlefield for America. It routinely tries to defeat, destroy, diminish by attrition competition. America rules grain, beef, and other staple markets. Since Iran is the new US target, it is completely reasonable to assume US corporate & govt agencies spread false propaganda against Iran.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

not only through crushing unfair and inequitable economic competition that is inherently designed to funnel wealth out of the world into a US elite, with the help of local collaborators, but also with direct military aggression. the US planned to divide the world into two spheres with nazi germany, but when it was seen that the nazis got too aggressive and fell to the soviets, they decided that US global domination was the next step.

[kwijibo950]

American companies treat American markets the same way, they don't just play rough in the 'global economy'. Don't take it as a personal attack on Iran, it's just business as usual, which is very competitive in the US.

[TAMARLANE]

These guys are pissed that American growers filled a vacuum created by a dearth of pistachios some years ago..I forget if it was a crop disaster or just political boycott of Iranian pistachios in America. But these nuts will take it to the wildest of extremes, blaming the entire world's ills on America somehow.

[clingingtowhat]

this is so retarded i just want to take a shit on a globe. Honestly. How can human beings stoop to such idotic extremes. Someone please give the next SARS outbreak a head start.

[TAMARLANE]

California beat Iran in Pistachio production some years ago. There was no need to cast aspersions on the Iranian crop. We have no problems selling our nuts, and do not stoop to any claims that any else has an inferior product.

Not surprised that Iran would spread false rumors to suggest that America resorts to false rumors.

[supermanpaki]

American nuts are inferior to Iranian. Look at yourself. even a dumbest iranian in a loony hospital has a better sense than you buddie.

[TAMARLANE]

I wouldn't argue in favor of American nuts over Iranian nuts. Not sure I have ever enjoyed an Iranian nut. I like the one's we can buy here in America just fine, no matter where they came from. Just for the sake of untwisting your knickers I will concede that Iranian nuts must be far superior to American nuts.

There. Feel better? (I didn't think so)

[adikiny]

President Bush is a real nut! Why does he not make things easier for Iran? Because they have refused to lick the boots of Babylon the economic activities of Iran are blocked by sanctions. This is really cruel. Anyway, after the next elections Bush will no longer be president. Then Iran and America will resume friendly international relations. Bush is the obstacle to friendship between countries and peoples of the world.

[tipapig]

I hate to burst your optimism, yet despite my excitement for Bush finishing his awful two terms this year, I don't think any future candidate, whether Democrat or Republican is going to make a big difference. Iran is like Cuba, in that American administrations have an irrational hatred of the two (as well as strong domestic lobbying groups against both countries).

[usama2]

US does not have irrationale hatred. It greedily hungers for Iran's assets. Oil, coal, metal ores, educated workers. To US, Iran is worth 100s of billions. Also, American firms profit from war handsomely. Iran is being set up as the next Iraq. Iraq went through 12 yrs of sanctions and 2 wars before occupation. Same for Iran according 2 Neo Con imperialists.

[tipapig]

I understand your point, however, I don't think it is true. There is no chance the American people or member of Congress will support a war in Iran. The United States' disastrous invasion of Iraq will prevent the administration from making any military moves in the near future.

[tipapig]

However, I agree with you that the United States would love to have a "friendly" government (meaning a government that allows U.S. manipulation) in order to provide American companies access to Iran's natural resources, which are plenty.

[tipapig]

I do however, feel that most Americans DO have an irrational hatred of Iran, stemming back to 1979. However, it's the U.S.'s fault that we do not have a good relationship with Iran in the present, as the Iranian regime has offered the US many chances to reconcile. The rhetoric being used including Iran in the "Axis of Evil" and the number one state supporter of terrorism is ridiculous as well.

[talib99526]

Having eaten both Iranian and US grown pistachio. I can say that the taste is different, and I can tell where there from just by eating them. I prefer the Iranian pista, they have a more fresh and sweet taste.

[bootpdx]

I am suprised America can even compete with Iran in this nut war. Doesn't it cost more to produce pistachios in the U.S.?

[IHYEP2007]

man their are better stuff to talk......i mean come on...this american, persian, n china stupid issues are getting annoying

[hunterswine]

NUT FIGHT

[farahm78]

I'm originally from Mauritius babapoco, no Persian roots here, so why don't you do the entire world a favor and get aids from a dead mans asshole.

[Ayeere]

Please, i bet the US and Iranian government would argue about the best way to tie their friekin shoes! Americans will hold their way is the most democratic, and iran will tie theirs in the way God told them to do so (which if its like their business casual, with no ties).

I think both presidents should just play a game of Risk, and be done with it, though both will cheat, it will be a great game.

[kedordu]

wasnt really sarcasm was it . was just a lame comment.

[farahm78]

original comment (BarackObonga)

"pistachio's are food for terrorists"

[farahm78]

lol... I hope you were being sarcastic.

[OsamaBinForgotten2]

If Iran would just allow the central bank to operate in their country, the rulers of the world would not find reasons to go to war.

[djathens2]

Right, because then Iran would be under the thumb of central banks just like us, no need for war then...It's the bankers at the top of the food chain, not the US govt or any other govt.

[geogodley]

war nuts=politicians, testicles, pistashios

[jbear3333]

...i hate corruption, and harm to liberty...

but business is buisness... is it not? do we see any proof, by aljazeera that there has been a premeditated attack against iran, by Americans, or their gov??? don't blame us for our pistachio buissnesses..

[Flirmy]

So what if the US produces pistachio nuts too? they're way too expensive currently, we could do with an increased supply. I don't care who grows the nuts they still taste the same.

[Mrpastry909]

The working conditions must be crap!

[Mujahid1]

Well if it goes down and these pistachio production plants are hit we'll know why.

[connect2raza]

DOWN WITH the EVIL,BARBARIC AND ACOPOLYPTIC REGIMES of U.S.A AND ISRAEL.LONG LIVE HEZBOLLAH LONG LIVE THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN.DEATH TO the INHUMANE ZIONIST REGIMES OF U.S.A AND ISRAEL AND THEIR AGENTS ISLAMIC TRAITORS AND HYPOCRITES.LABAYAIK YA HEZBOLLAH LABAYAIK YA NASRALLAH.

[Mrpastry909]

Calm down, miss. Get some knowledge before yelling like that.

[colmmernagh]

The US are just pathetic !

[ig7157]

Please, Everyone says the "US" but its the US Government and the people let the gov. act with out thinking about how this effects people.

[colmmernagh]

i should have made it clear,by US i mean US gov.

[zbambam5]

yes we are some assholes aren't we.
