Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit
Dekortage writes "'Dear Iranian nation, your children have placed the first indigenous satellite into orbit,' announced Iran's President Ahmadinejad yesterday. The satellite, named Omid ('hope'), was launched to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Islamic revolution.

Though, I actually agree with that statement on one level, but only because I happen to think you're barking at a symptom of which religion is just a convenient appendage.
But that too is beside the point.
Because what are you suggesting exactly? (That's a rhetorical, so I'll go right ahead and answer that one for you.)
What you are suggesting without coming right out to say it, is that it would be Good and Proper for the West to go to war with Iran.

Stop fomenting stupidity. You're a creepy nihilist. Not so deep down, nihilists want to see the world burn, and if the best way to achieve that is by stirring up ludicrous divisions between people through semi-clever words, (you only have to be semi-clever these days to stir people), then so be it.
Go make your film. Low budget horror, is it? I'd comment on what that says if it wasn't such a bloody obvious cliche.
