Very Important first step by Heste Hest - 28-Oct-09
Indeed this is good news. Unfortunately Gordon Wagner has a point, as Iraq had similar plans which no doubt played a very large role in our decision to invade Iraq and kill more than one million Iraqi civilians. If this succeeds, the rest of the world will owe Iran an enormous dept of gratitude, in helping us tame the worlds only super-bully.
