Iran ready to put Muslim countries' satellite in orbit


news.yahoo.com
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Monday it was ready to help fellow Muslim states launch satellites into orbit after it successfully put a dummy satellite into orbit -- a move that may increase Western suspicions over its atomic ambitions.

"I am announcing now that Iran is ready to launch satellites of friendly Islamic countries into space," Taghipour told state television.

But why, why can't they have their own satellite? I just don't see how them launching a satellite into orbit, coincides with them trying to develop a nuke. Two different things.

Oh you gotta be kidding. Satellite launch technology was a byproduct of ICBM development. Yuri Gagarin rode a modified Russian ballistic missile into space. Same with Iranians.

No, maybe I should have worded it different. It seems as though anything coming out of Iran must be bad.

Launching a TV satellite = Nuke
Secret Military Base = Nuke
Research & Development = Nuke

Come on, we have these same exact things in the U.S., but do those develop nukes? No.

I am tired of the West trying to say Iran is big and bad and anything and everything they do, must be bad.

Nuclear enrichment and rocket testing are directly linked, to make a bomb you need highly enriched uranium and the means to detonate and deliver it. ie, rocket testing = ICBM's!

Anyway back to topic...

Iran is offering this technology to Muslim countries and trying to assure them that they are friends and are powerful enough to fill any gap if Muslim countries ditch their alleigance with the US. Basically they are saying, you dont need the US, we can offer you all these techonologies etc.

So what is wrong with that? The U.S. is not the only person that should be holding all of the keys anyway.

Because Muslim countries MUST lick America's ass or else they face imminent military action?



Should America dictate where and when they can take dumps too?
