    Was there ever a more simple-minded poster on CUK?

    I genuinely don't believe so.

    That is not what he said. He said "[he wanted to] remove Zionism from the pages of history"

    It is a difficult translation from iranian to English, and the translator for the BBC got it wrong during the live broadcast, but corrected it later.

    I'm not defending him, he is a nutter (denies the holocaust etc), however you need to remember there are a lot of jews that live in Iran and get on fine with everyone. If I lived in Iran, I would be worried about a nuclear neighbour that thinks it has a god given right to land.

    No offence taken, but care to point out I stated that's my theory?

    You stated we, in this country shouldn't be interested, I pointed out that it's a country with large reserves of oil and is trying to develop nuclear technology, presumably to develop nuclear weapons.

    On the oil front, any instability in that country affects oil prices which directly affect us as a country and you and me as individuals. So yes, of course we should be interested.

    At no point did I suggest we invade them, not quite sure what kind of crack you were smoking to get that interpretation - if I'm honest I think we invaded the wrong country when we went into Iraq, but I definitely don't think doing the same thing again is going to lead to a better outcome.

    No offence, but its not good for this country.

    Instead of considering them as colonies and worrying about their control on oil resources and nuclear power, Britain should rather use their efforts in developing sustainable and green energy alternatives (i.e. reduce dependency on oil producers),develop efficient nuclear resistance system(just in case) and have healthy and friendly relationship with rest of the (Non Muslim and Muslim)world.

    You're far more incapable of coherent thought than me? At last we agree on something!

    And for the record, wrong again on both counts. I would try to explain, but what's the point of trying to hold a conversation with someone as imbecilic as you? You're a one trick pony who's only trick is a never ending stream of complete and utter tulipe on every post made.

    Glad we're all in agreement. You are indeed far more incapable of coherent thought than snaw, that's for sure.
