In Tehran, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the fighting in Gaza has been "a great lesson for all," saying it shows "the absolute defeat and desperation of this (Israeli) regime."
He says that "even for the supporters of the occupying regime and its leaders, it has become clear that the continuation of the Zionist regime's life in the region is not feasible."

I knew this was going to be the end of the attacks on Gaza, and not a minute too soon, it was a basic fact that the area of discussion (Namely Israel) was going to find out how wrong they were for their attacks against innocent Palestinians.
They have thus far managed to get the US and our countries leaders, both Bush and Obama to be sympathizers for Israels cause, and if you asked me, "The President is just as much to blame as the Israeli's themselves." He could of done more for the innocent, than just lay back and let this atrocity go on, and I don't care about the politics behind it. It was wrong, and there should be major warrants issued for teh individuals that have taken part thus far, no matter what their status in the world.
Maybe some peace will come the Palestinians way, they deserve to be pacified for a long time to come.
"All those poor people that were killed of innocence!!"

What are you smoking?
You make it sound like the Iranian president spoke and that it matters or something.
Hamas was finally beaten into submission and signed a truce agreement.
1) are you saying because Iran said something that Israel has stopped attacking Gaza?
2) have they stopped?
3) "they deserve to be pacified"? did you mean to say that?
4) if there is one thing that has been dead in Gaza and the middle east for a couple thousand years...it is innocence....
(((oops..and 5) make up your mind about U.S. involvement! You take the good with the bad or you should be for a meddling U.S. or a hands off U.S. pick one.
The idea that Israel will leave Iran alone is no longer 'feasible'

Hamas is begging in Egypt for a one year ceasefire but they don't seem to understand that the vanquished does not set the terms of an agreement.

I believe that this along with other statements from Iranian leaders and the nuclear issue, is exactly why Israel is trying to eliminate Hamas in Gaza.
Hamas is a proxy of Iran, the Israelis want to attack Iran, and at a minimum remove the nuclear threat. In order for that to happen they must eliminate Hamas' ability to retaliate on Israel before they launch strikes on Iran.

Just going to say, this is war, decency and morals will get you killed. I have a lot of friends in the service, some officers, and I hate to say it, but if it's a choice between dropping a bomb from a plane, or sending your men into an ambush in a small enclosed urban area that the enemy has lived in all their lives... 110% of the time there will be a giant ball of iron falling from the sky, and i can't say that i would make that call any differently.
What makes the lives of the "innocent" any more valuable than that of the lives of the men and women that risk theirs every day for their country?
The places being hit with bombs, are places from which Israel has recieved hostile fire. Are you truly expecting one of the best trained, best equipped militaries in the world to tolerate pot-shots being taken at their people day in day out?
This isn't eradication, it's retaliation. And who's word is it anyways that these people being killed are civilians? Hamas is a militia, not a military, it's an entire fighting force made up of "Civilians". I wouldn't doubt at all that the number given for civilians killed is a drastically inflated one.
