This may be the most significant, if under reported, news of the week. Reports out of Iran suggest the claim of a successful satellite launch are correct.
Iran's (apparently) successful launch of its own satellite by its own rocket shows how it is slowly but surely mastering the missile technology that the West and Israel fear one day might be available as a delivery system for a nuclear weapon.
It also shows, as Iran itself has triumphantly proclaimed, that the UN sanctions against Iran, which include sanctions against its missile programme as well as its nuclear activities, have not stopped this event.
Remember, if a rocket can launch a satellite into space the same rocket can drop a missile pretty well anywhere on earth.

So are you saying that only certain "select" countries should have satellites and rocket technology?
Nice to add the little bit about the UN - you may have a little more credibility when you push for Israel to actually comply with the UN sanctions and resolutions...
Of course it's different when Israel does it... it always is...
