I have been wondering if Iran is responsible and behind everything going on in the middle east. My thoughts are that Iran is using this crisis in order to take America and the UN 's attention away from Irans nuclear program. and N. Korea is adding to the many problems. do you think that Iran is planning something big? if so, what? and what do you think all this will lead to?

Of course. They send the rockets through Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Don't doubt it for a second.
If they were so civilized, then they'd be willing to discuss it through diplomacy. They won't, but the left will tell you all day that diplomacy is the answer.

Yes, like many I believe Iran is behind most if not all of the military actions in the Middle East. Britain seems to have intelligence information that proves this. Asia also agrees with this. It does remove attention from Iran & North Korea - their ally.
We know they are supplying weapons to Hezbollah, which as led to the Israel-Lebanon war.

I believe it goes deeper than just Iran. Iran is a surrogate of Russia, and N. Korea is a surrogate of China. Do you see the dots starting to come together
Have you noticed that Russia and China, which both have veto power in the UN, refuse to agree to sanctions that have teeth, regarding their two surrogates.
It appears to me that Russia and China are just going through the motions when it comes to spanking these two bad boys because of their nuclear activity. It looks good around the UN.
I believe this will all lead to a confrontation with the US. Anyone of them by themselves wouldn't dare try this, but four or five of them at the same time would be able to develop the courage to go after the US.
I hope the Pentagon is listening!

you and i both noticed how effectively the hezbollah raid and kidnapping across isreal's border conveniently took iran's referal in the UN security council off the front pages of the world's press. iran's influence in lebanon could be minimal but unbelievably effective. it might own a few border outposts. the whole region is so volatile, that's all it takes? in the time it takes to de-escalate this crisis, iran will have completed the nuclear fuel cycle in secret and suddenly test it's way into the most exclusive club on earth... i have a hard time believing that the current administration could not see this coming. it's not like Katrina, this was foreseeable. myself, i'm getting tired of moving from one crisis to another while our leaders debate gay marriage?, i think in the House it was today. Hmmmmm.

Most likely, yes, they are using Hezbollah (spelling), to get a couple licks on Israel. As far as I am concerned, they are a bunch of cowards. If they really wanted to annihilate Israel like their leader is always talking about, they would take a shot at it now. They are a bunch of trash talking cowards. Hopefully it does not come to it, but if the United States and Israel do end up going to war with Iran, their entire regime will get initially rolled just as Iraq did. There will then be the same sort of Chaos going on in Iran as there is in Iraq today.

I think It will be just a blame coz Iran is not in a capacity to do something effectively there. But off course in the scenario Iran will get the benifit because their Nuke issue is now a secondry issue. Also the role which US is playing in Israel-Lebanon matter is not according to justice, and now people especially muslims all around the world seriously thinking that they must be powerful enough to protect themselves otherwise there will be no one to help them in the time of trial.

I think Iran is being blamed to further the interests of the US and our desire that they not have nuclear anything.
They are a dangerous regime, but I don't think they masterminded this whole thing.
Iran arms their friends, so do we. Who do you think made the weapons that are bombarding Lebannon right now? The US.
IT's hypocritical of the US to demand everyone else not have nuclear power or weapons except us, and it's unfair to point to Iran and say "look, they sell weapons to rouge nations" when the US is the worlds formost weapons dealers.
Remember where Osama got his basic training and weapons from and how Saddam learned to make WMD's?
One mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter. It will never change.

Alot of knowledgeable people suspect this theory. If it's true, Iran risks isolating themselves even further from the international community, (Really its just China & Russia who are still in bed with Iran). Ahmadinajad may not be rational enough to care, or maybe he has 2 very powerful tacid allies, (scary thought) and doesn't feel like he needs to care. Iran gets alot of weaponry from China & Russia.

Yes! Now you get it! Iranians are Persians unlike most other countries in the Middle East who area Arabs. Through history Arabs and Persians never got along! Iran funds Hezbollah! That's why the problems

YES!! I think Iran is trying to take attention away fromit's nuclear program and i think that they might try something big because of
their president. I also think that Syria is up to something also.
We'll just have to wait and see, I guess!!1
