Destroyed homes greet returning Gazans - 18 Jan 09

In the first few hours of the supposed ceasefire in Gaza, some Palestinians have tried to return to their homes. But many residential buildings have been destroyed in the Israeli bombardment, and what some people find is rubble and devastation.

seriously entertain defeating Iran with a land invasion. Unlike Israel, Iran wants nukes for offensive purposes to bring on armegeddon because the Iranian leadership is a psychotic cabal of death worshipers believing in massive destruction. Iran will provide the nukes to other fruitcake organizations like AlQueda, Hamas and Hezbollah and those whackjobs will use them. As far as pointing fingers at Iran when other nations have made war---do two wrongs make a right? Think. It helps.

Iran under the gangsters posing as Islamic clerics is an imperialist nation. Khomeini had been in exile in Iraq and when he returned to Iran, he turned his attention to destabilizing Iraq. This led to the war between Iran and Iraq. Israel is surrounded not only by enemies, but by enemies which vastly outnumber Israel in manpower. Israel can't win a conventional war against Egypt and Syria, so the nuclear option is needed. Iran is not outnumbered by enemies. None of Iran's neighbors can

Oh and thank you for completely ignoring my questions to you. I'm assuming you don't have an answer. I also find it funny how you're quick t point fingers at Iran for allegedly destabilizing Iran but you do not say a word about countries like the US, the UK, and even Israel. All those countries have triggered many wars over the years. Vietnam, Iraq, and others quickly come to mind. Thanks for being so impartial in your views and opinions.

There is no debate about the origins of the Iran-Iraq war. As for Iran's military ops and investments in foreign lands, I need to ask you this: Why is Israel the only nuclear power in the region? You answer is probably because it is surrounded by enemies and all that other crap. Similarly, why is it wrong for Iran to invest in its national security when it is surrounded by its enemies in all directions? American presence in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan, etc? Think. It helps.

Iran is a destabilizing force in southern Iraq and has been for some time. Iran has designs on southern Iraq just as it has designs on Egypt and Lebanon and of course on Israel. Whether Iran started the Iran Iraq War 1980-1988 in which millions died for nothing is debatable. But the war started partly as a result of Iran's designs upon southern Iraq. Iran has military forces and infrastructure in numerous foreign lands.

Apologies for the late response. I do not check my YouTube often. But anyway, I would like to pose you this question: how many wars has Iran started in the last 100 years? How many countries has it invaded?

On a somewhat related note, you should look up Confessions of an Economic Hitman.

If Hamas stopped firing rockets it would take no time at all to stop blockades as well as attacks by Isreal. The entire international community would force change....however each day rockets are still fired. I feel very badly for the Palistinians, they deserve better than Hamas.
