Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit

Posted by timothy on from the up-in-the-air-junior-birdman dept.

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. Video shown on Iranian television shows a Safir-2 rocket rising into the sky, as a follow-up to a test firing last August."

    Are hezbollah and hamas really terrorist organizations? I certainly wouldn't compare them to, say, Al Qaeda. They are fighting against foreign (Israely) army in their own country (Palestine). Whats wrong with that?

    Nicaragua ... no us government
    Panama ... no us government
    Venezuela ... no us government (and a murder rate that exceeds the death rate of the inner blast circle of a nuclear explosion ... thank you mr. Chavez)

    Are you insane ? I mean these are not details.

    Let's take for example a really imperialist expansionist murderous ideology : islam.

    Egypt : sharia government
    Libya : sharia government
    Tunisia : sharia government
    Algeria : sharia government
    Morocco : "mostly" sharia government (ie. in theory not so much in practice)

    Of course we never see mad assholes like you rant about the constant massacres, right into the 21st century, that created these governments ...

    Of course that's because you're a total coward : you only complain if the side you're madly blabbering about doesn't attack you back.

    Which means the only type of US government that you'd be happy about is ... a REALLY imperialistic dictatorship, one that DOES hurt you. Which is "supposedly" what you want to avoid in the first place.
