Iran Has Entered the Space Age!!!

: Iran's Development Continues...
Iran launched a missile that has a capability to deliver a satellite to Orbit. It is a bit of a worrisome development because it further raises the stake in the region. Iranian leaders don't seem to have their priorities straight, though. Rolling blackouts are happening throughout the country. The country's inflation is officially at 26%. Unemployment is stubbornly high. Yet, resources are being spent on matters that are long on rhetoric and short on a practical payback for the people right now. It changes the realities on the ground yet again.
Iran's Safir Omid
Worrisome!!!

er... it's a shame about the instability in the region... many great scientists came out of Iran, it's a country with a terrific background...

Interesting and inevitable, I would have thought, given the history of the region.

However, you seem a little biased in your criticism of Iran, for the same could be applied to America, for example, for spending hundreds and hundreds of billions on warfare every year and military development, while ignoring the plight of its own poor, its public education system and hospitals.

I agree the rulers of Iran are to be carefully watched, however, we of the West must also look at our part in all this.

It was the West's iniquitous attitude towards the Persians, and the Arab peoples in general, that assisted and encouraged the Shah of Persia, a CIA puppet, to persecute his people, causing his people to turn against him, thereby allowing the rise of religious fundamentalism in politics in (Persia) Iran, and that is but one example of many short sighted policies the collective West has had towards the Middle East.

However, I loathe the government of Iran and its hideously brutal human rights abuses, but, unless we of the West start leading by example, all our blustering political rhetoric will fall on deaf ears.

The idea that, only organized violence will solve the world's problems, is promoted by Western governments too dependant on revenue from arms sales and supported by the investors in weapons manufacture, who collectively create situations of threat, real or not, to convince the ordinary person they must support more military spending and war, while sacrificing their quality of life.
