Iran vents frustration with Moscow, expels Russian pilots

Russian pilots won't fly airliners into buildings. They won't do their Islamic duty. They are after all, Russians. It is better to have Islamic pilots who will sacrifice themselves and their planes when ordered to Jihad.

The reason is that perhaps Moscow hates an Israel/Jews less than the West Europe does.

There is only room for one regional "superpower" in central asia. As Russia continues to reassert its hegemony over the former Soviet Union states, conflict with growing Iranian imperical ambitions will be inevitable. The most obvious conflicts involve the former soviet republics of Azerbaijan (part of a greater azerbaijan along with Iran's northeaster province) and Tajikistan (related by language and culture to the persian overlords of Iran), but the entire central asia region will be a 21st century battleground between Russia and Iran. Israel is merely a sideshow with absolutely no impact or conflict with iranian ambitions and national interests.

I always knew that all it took was a thought. Becoming immortalised really does exist as a concept.But it was only when the 9/11 happened did we become conscious that all the fears we had, had actually manifested into reality. Could it be possible that Ahmadinejad is such a Man, who would sacrifice himself, his family and his country because ogf his Deep religious beliefs.

can at least take off and land their planes. Iran will have to learn the hard way.

Why is Iran so angry over not getting a missile defense system in a hurry? Why is it that the world see's the more you deny Iran something, the more their true motives appear? I commend Russia for finally having a level of morality over financial profits. The only reason Iran wants missile defense so badly is so it's harder to destroy their nuke capabilities AFTER they have already aimed and launched nukes in the direction over the west. I believe Iran not having the missile defense system is more crippling than any general sanctions, because it strategically denies them the ability to attack even if they DID finalize a nuke warhead. Keep it up Russia, don't let them have something they may actually even use against YOU TOO if push came to shove. No missile defense = no mideast war, that's why Iran is so angry at the thought of not getting the missile system.

countries who have terrible human rights records themselves have no right selling anything to these fanatical mullahs

Iran/Russia. Is it like the expulsion of Russian Pilots & their families from Egypt before the Yom-Kippur War ? Is history going to repeat itself ? In any case.Israel.Be pretared. Without predetermined conceptions !

The sad truth is Iran is running short of plane parts but then...who needs pilots when you have guided missiles? The Russian pilots can go fly their kite.

and vs. the world.. Iran's about to learn some valuable lessons. You have no friends, you have no allies and your own people hate you more than life. Excellent. Perect staging for a perfect overthrow and to the Iranian people, hope you've learned that this regime is the worst one you could have voted fro. Have you learned yet?

And that is why the US is saying China and Russia will be aboard with them. This approach guarantees an Israeli strike on Iran. What an awful situation for the world, and in particular Israel. Put into context, the Arab League`s plan to hold indirect talks for the next 4 months is a means of holding Israel back from striking Iran. The US is doing likewise by saying it will lay blame if the Arab Israeli conflict isn`t solved (for the millionth time). You can be sure the Palestinians will not be blamed, for how else can phony peace negotiations continue in the future with no peace partner (like the Palestinians). It is possible that Israel will not attack Iran because Netanyahu has agreed to these indirect talks (he has been weak in the past and didn`t last as PM once before).
