If Iran Is Being Truthful

They are making real leaps in weapons development, conventional weapons that is. Last week they announced a low radar profile MIRV missile, today it is a new torpedo (or underwater missile) that they claim travels over 200MPH.

Instability leads to fear, this leads to arms races, and we have a real one going on in the middle east.


UPDATE

They are now claiming a third type of missile.

A top Iranian military official said Tuesday the country can now defend itself against any invasion originating from outside the region _ a clear reference to the United States _ as it tested a second new radar-avoiding missile.

The new surface-to-sea missile is equipped with remote-control and searching systems, state-run television reported. It said the new missile, called Kowsar after the name of a river in paradise, was a medium-range weapon that Iran had the capability to mass-produce.


Well, at least this one is more defensive that offensive.

I hope this can all be resolved somehow or another and no military action have to take place. How long has that man been in power in Iran? I really do not know much and have not done much research yet on him and that whole situation.

Iran is reacting to the current U.S. foreign policies, which have abandoned nuclear nonproliferation treaties and the non-first strike doctrine we have had for over 200 years. The policies of Bush and his cohorts have brought us to the brink of a nuclear showdown not seen since the Cold War. Don't believe me? Read Our Endangered Values by President Carter. The man knows what he is talking about.
