Interesting comment about the Liberty. I wonder how many Americans remember this or have any idea of the fact that Israel attacked a US flagged ship and that no US forces ever responded to the aggression.

I remember. I also remember a lot of other odd, little known Historical facts like this. It is things like this that need to be put out there for all to see & Remember. History does us no good if you do not remember it. And those men that Died on the Liberty will have died in vain if we do not remember their sacrifice. Israel is still our greatest ally in the Middle East (IMO), but they are not perfect, & have made mistakes. As have we all.

If you could move one of these two countries to the US coastline, which would YOU choose?

Israel keeps a hawkish attitude towards it's neighbors. Yes they have a right to exist but so do the Palestinians. Israel does not listen to us and goes it alone assuming the U. S. will protect them every time. They are dragging us down and need to settle their differences with Palestine first, then let's see if Iran and other Mid Eastern Nations back off threatening them. We are not any ones big brother and we need to concentrate solely on the illumination of terrorist the terrorist ISIS/ISIL. We can't keep letting Israel keep drawing our attention away from ridding the Mid East of these terrorist cells.

I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time - in other words BOTH problems must be solved and unfortunately at the same time. This can only be done if the military isn't reduced to the bare bones, in case we need to use them. That, of course will be up to the next President, because this one sure is not going to solve either problem!!

I just wonder what you would be like if you had all of the countries around you that wanted to do away with you. I know I would become very protective and on the look out for problems from others. However, I see you as one of these liberals that only want peace at any expense.

First of all, I am NOT a liberal!!! But I DO want peace at any expense. I'm not going to wait until we see a Nuke heading to the US, nor having Christians heads being cut off here in the US before we deal with these problems. OK?

Would you negotiate with someone who's ideology dictates that they can lie to anyone that are not converts to Islam and it is ok or that there would be no consequence? I would not trust them and will never trust them. They are undoubtedly evil and should never be trusted. They do not entrust the same moral or ethics of law abiding citizens.

Only, and I mean only if Iran is true to there word I would consider lifting sanctions against them.And before that they must show loyalty to the Arab world.

All one has to do is review the past 50 years of history of Iran to decide their
trustworthyness. This Country has a record of hate for the United States, so
our Government should act accordingly.

If I hear one more knuckle-head in our State department refer to Irans nuclear program as one designed for peaceful purposes, I'm going to throw my beer mug at the television.
Being a retired utility worker, I ask where are the planning and design drawings,If providing power to the civilian population, engineering is essential to determine where the central office and and size of population their intending on feeding with all this new electricity. The other thing is all the heavy equipment and qualified crews to operate them, not to mention the ripping of ground to set poles,undergroud vaults and conduit. When you consider all the costs associated with this distribution, including cable, transformers,etc., these costs are astrinomical.
Can someone with a voice and media connections please bring this up and expose this farce?
No nukes for this murderous bunch of thugs.
