		<description>According to my firm opinion,
hypocray is oprating in the minds of those
who has power and authority to solve the existing problems esclated in the world.
i am not ready to admitt that teh aunited Nations is helpless in resolving the Palestine issue,
why not, Iranian issue relating to its nuclear program can not be settled through bilateral negutiation,
Kashire is not too complicated to which globle leaders looks laying down their arma(wisdom)
There is nothing imposible,Talban are ready to have talke with Americans.
As for as , repatriation of USA armed forces  from Iraq is concerned  it has also been settled by taking a unanimously decison.
But some particular quarter for their ecnomic benefit and political supermacy every day colapse the wall which is build in the way of bloodshed.
There is nothing imposible,</description>

		<description>As a signatory the treaty, called NPT,syria should avid the efforts of manufacturing nuclear weapons and atomic reactors which supports voilation reageding the treaty.
AS for as the visiting high profile of Syria ,it will bring betterment in the tens circumstances,According to my mind Syria has adopted a right way by changing its police.
No doubt, Israel is the fact of the day,all the countries of Middle East and other muslim ststes of Asian Subcontinent should recognise it because it has becom indispensable for the world peace especially Middle East.
Iran is also signatory of the treaty(NON PROLIFRATION TREATY)but there are misunderstandings has been created , wh is responsible for such misunderstandings  it is point ,require some time,It is a common view that new American Administrtion will resove the issue by the best point of view.</description>

		<description>persianadvocate,

Many, many people in the west are aware that Saudi Arabia and Iran have populations with diverse viewpoints ranging from religious fundamentalists across the full spectrum to secularists. However, it seems clear that the majority of people in both countries are, in face, religious conservatives.

In Iran, religious institutions enjoy a near total control of the government. In Saudi Arabia, the royal family has kept a devil&#039;s bargain with religious exteremists for decades, allowing many of the worst excesses of zealotry to be both allowed and encouraged by official government policy.

I&#039;ll give one example for each country: The lion&#039;s share of the funding for the fundamentalist madrassas that pump out the ideologues of Muslim terrorist groups are primarily funded by Saudis and could not exist without the Saudis&#039; massive &quot;charitable&quot; donations. On the Iranian side, no political candidate can stand for office unless he&#039;s vetted by a council of religious leaders who often seem to manipulate elections by spuriously denying candidates the right to run based on &quot;moral&quot; issues.

Win our hearts and minds. Tell us how it is that your belief (that the majority of people in these countries are freedom-loving and secular) can possibly be true. If it were, they would not stand for the domination of their governments by religious organizations. Don&#039;t just descry statements you disbelieve in. Back them up with logic and fact.

I, for one, would dearly love to believe that most Iranians and Saudis want a liberal, secular government, but I&#039;ve never seen any evidence at all that this is true.</description>

		<description>Why do you take us for idiots? First you want us to believe Israelis want US to take out Iran not Iraq, Second they want Obama wins with &quot;%99.99&quot; but not McCain, now we should forget about UN report on nuclear contamination in southern Lebanon during 2006 war and believe Syria is going nuclear while they were bombed with nuclear contaminated bombs? hey I want my several billions dollars free money back from my crook allies, Israel, to bail out my auto industry stocks, if baggers let us have our own money!</description>

		<description>&quot;The sad bit of the Syrian story is that, the people of Syria, unlike Iranians or Saudis, are quite liberal.&quot;

It irks me that you would ignorantly compare Iranians to Saudis and state that they are not a freedom-loving, secular-oriented people. In fact, the significant majority of us are. Please don&#039;t go around saying things like this again.</description>

		<description>Come on, please give the Syrians a break. Why should they be penalised just because they want to keep all options open? They only want to remain friends with Iran, develop nuclear weapons, support Hizbollah and may be Hamas, and also make friends with the West. What’s wrong with all this?

The sad bit of the Syrian story is that, the people of Syria, unlike Iranians or Saudis, are quite liberal. With the right leadership, Syria could be another Turkey! No, I am not arguing in favour of regime change in Syria. www.winnowed.blogspot.com</description>
