How many people are surprised that Iranians are selling weapons to Iraqis?

I agree that this is obvious.  Iraq was probably the hegemon in the Middle East before the US invasion, though Iran had already been clamoring for increased power and influence in the region.  Now that Iraq has fallen into great turmoil, Iran now has an opportunity to increase its influence and establish itself as the leading Muslim nation, much as the US is considered the leading democratic nation.  Iran has much to gain from a destabilized Iraq, and is thus contributing to the violence through weapons sales.

Iran is no different from Iraq.  They have lied before, they are lying now, and they will lie again.

I think Iranian government(which is separate from its people) is developing Nuke Weapons (in their own words) to promote Islam in other countries. This is one of their goals. I think U.S and other countries must be aware that this regime doesn't care about it's own people, and so they don't care about anyone in the world. \nIran is one of the richest oil nations, but look how their citizens are living!!!! all the money form oil exports are in their own bank accounts in foreign countries.\nDo you know how many political prisoners are in prisons in Iran!!! They kill, torture and do lots of stuff that you can't imagine. \nI think the first thing U.S and other countries can do is to freeze their assets and money in banks.  some of them(people in Iran Regime) has Green card and travel to U.S. if Bush means what he says how they can travel to his country so easily.\nIranian people has nothing to do with all this. Why they should pay the price. All these things you see in T.V that some people are supporting them, these are their own people and they are paid to be there. \nBut in my opinion they should try to resolve the problem in a way that Iranian people pay the least price.

No, I don't believe so. I think all of the rhetoric is what you call the October surprise. It's voting time, and all the subjects are coming to the surface just like the last time America voted. You have got to figure, that Russia or China, either one could supply Iran with what ever they wanted anyway. Iran hasn't gotten involved with the Iraq situation, and they could have at anytime. I really believe it's Bush pushing American Military again.

No but I would not be suprised if God is trying to tell the Iranian Officials to knock off what they are doing or else you can only imagine what is coming.

Hun you do relieze that you put IRAN right and not IRAQ... Cause that is where I am right know IRAQ.. And this war is going to go on for a while.. we are going to be here for a long time.. This war is not a war on a battle field anymore.. it is a war against Insergeants who are trying to win the people over... the war we are at is called Counter INsergancy... We the United Nations... are trying to win the hearts and minds or the people (people being Iraqies)... But in a recent study that came down it will take at least 9 years for this "war" to be won... and 13 years to be one if the insergents do a better job at winning over the local population.. and from the front lines.. it is happing we are losing this war in the long run. American Soldiers are killed everday.. It was totaled and average.. we loose about 3-5 American Troops aday... that is through the Airforce, Navy, Mariens, and Army... If you as me Yes I want to be here... Cause if where to Loose this war...then my brothers and Sisters have dies for nothing... If you want to talk more in depth about it please feel free to Im me... or Email me

Small amounts have been found in Iraq, though not at the levels we believed.  Personally, I still believe that they could've been removed, but that's a debate for another day.  \n\nThe current Iran situation is that Iran is seeking nuclear power, however, most of, if not all of the world sees right through their current nuclear work as purely for the attainment of a nuclear weapon.  The president has even gone so far as to publicly state that he wishes to wipe Isreal off the map.  All we'd really like to do is to go in and see for ourselves how advanced they are, and they're denying that as well.

Sala'm Aga / Khanum!\n\nDo you want to imply that Iran's case is similar to that of the Iraq during last days of Saddam when he was denying having any WMD and USA was insisting that he was lying?\n\nIn any case, there is a great difference in the analogy. Iran has been more-or-less positively identified by the IAEA to be moving towards a secret nuclear weapons program, as per circumstantial evidences its inspectors and 'monitors' has obtained.\n\nSo, in my personal view, the President of Iran Mr. Ahmedinezad is playing high-wire act and also brinkmanship with the West (not only with USA). I am a Muslim and I worked in Iranian Air Force for two years as civilian specialist and I have no ill feeling for the Iranian people.\n\nGod forbid, if Iranian people had to live the miserable life that of Iraq then it would be solely the present government of Iran that would be held responsible to ignore numerous warnings to refrain from its present belligerent attitude and sit with world community and sort out its differences across the table.\n\nInshaAllah we hope major catastrophe could be averted and Iranians can live and prosper and be the Malaysia of the Middle East!\n\nKhuda Hafez

Actually there are plenty of Iranians here where I am, I think the largest population is in California.  They tell me what you hear on the news isn't the right picture, many Americans do business with Iran everyday.  The invited me to find one thier offices and watch how many Americans and all others have business there.\n\nThey also tell me the biggest reason they are against having fuel produced outiside their jurisdiction is because they don't want a foriegn government to have price controls over them - it's about money.  But they do believe their president is a real loon.\n\nOne other thing, when this first started they were happy that someone finally stood up to the United States.  Then, later they told me, you know what?  We are Americans now, we have no interest in what happens over there.  What will happen is everyone will get the bomb and one loser will start WWIII.

The reaction is just as many of us predicted. Al-Queda in Iraq is now claiming they are winning the war because of the democrat victory. Iran will now step up it's own rhetoric. People we are in for a bumpy ride. Are the democrats up for this challenge? Think of Murtha, Kerry, Clinton and Kennedy.....do they inspire trust with you in the realm of National Security?

I can't believe the number of people who seemingly want to take the side of Saddam.  As far as I am concerned, the man refused to follow the rules, he wanted to pretend he had them, so I think we should have acted as if he did.  I would rather be safe than sorry.  I have seen too many reports that show the people are greatful for our intervention.  I think there is still a possibility that there are weapons hidden somewhere.

Iran is a "rogue state," which means that they support terrorists and scoff at international relations. Giving a rouge state nuclear weapons is like giving a loaded gun to a baby.

Yeah, well media is doing a great job with their brains.. sorry, to say so, I have been living in US for a while I used to believe that this war (Irak) was confusing, but probably was the right thing to do... I see things from another perspective now.  Unfortunately, wars are simply for selling weapons, getting more power, and nothing have to do with being or not a HERO...  I hope people could think for themselves, with all the proves they have in front of their eyes,  but they wouldn't see it.  I feel sorry for some of them.

Sometimes the entire Iran situation looks like Iraq, the current Iranian president 9being an independent candidate) seems like a perfect target to be the next Saddam Hussein. \n\nPolitically, the US is pressurizing the opposition to join them, as it is the governing regime will definitely go weak and then like in any other progressing economy they will have their foot in the door to make sure that there is a well paved road for them to commute whenever they want.\n\nI think only time will tell what exactly is the major game plan here, but one thing is sure it is not going to be a smooth ride and eventually the US will gain something substantial.

IRANIANS WILL BE CANNON FODDER. \nIRAN WAR IF IT EVER HAPPENS WILL BE A WAR NOT THE NAMBY PAMBY BATTLE THAT'S GOING ON IN IRAQ. \nALL OUT OPEN WARFARE IRAN HAS NO CHANCE. \nNOT ONE OF THE IRANIAN MILITARY PLANES COMES CLOSE TO THE US MILITARY PLANES. \nAS YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IN IRAQ THEIR TANKS AND YOURS WERE NO MATCH FOR THE COALITION FORCES TANKS. \nDONT LET YOUR LEADERS TAKE YOU DOWN A ROAD YOU CERTAINLY HAVE NO CHANCE OF RETURNING FROM. \nALL OUT WAR IS TOTAL.

You must be in the oil biz, or work for Haliburton.\n\nIraq has a very UNcivil war on it's hands, and the U.S. forces are not in control.  Stop reading white house press releases and go check out some international news sources, it's just possible it will open your eyes to some inequities and bias in the fox news(FOREIGN OWNED MAY I ADD)/white house information flow.\n\nAND, btw, do you SERIOUSLY THINK that Iranians are hanging out on yahoo, to chat with you?  Their war machine is producing weapons and infantry full tilt right now, they don't have time for this silliness.
