Investor’s Business Daily<\/a> posted an editorial today about the Iranian missle test and what it means to the world.  Iran launched a  Sajjil-2, a solid-fuel, surface-to-surface missile with a range of 1,200 miles, far enough to strike at southeastern Europe.  A threat assessment by a team of Russian and American analysts says the Iranian menace is overblown and a missile defense futile.  I don’t even know where to begin with that statement.  The Russians have technically supported Iran’s missle and nuclear programs for years, why are we asking them to evaluate the threat?<\/p>\n

The article states that:<\/p>\n

“According to a new report, this isn’t supposed to be happening. The Washington Post on Tuesday reported on the results of a year-long study on the military threat to Europe from Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. The team of six Russian and six American technical experts brought together by the EastWest Institute concluded no threat exists and that a defense against it wouldn’t work anyway.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is unbelievable and irresponsible.  The editorial points out that during World War II, there were only six months between America producing weapons-grade nuclear material and detonating the first atomic bomb–and that was when the technology was new!<\/p>\n

The article also points out that Iran has rockets capable of launching satellites–any country capable of launching a satellite is capable of delivering a bomb anywhere in the world.  It may not be a really good idea to slowly try to make friends with these people.  While we are making friends, they are planning for our destruction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
