A new report by The Times of London says that satellite photographs of a site in Iran indicate the location is being used to develop a ballistic missile that could reach most of continental Europe.

Not the United State's problem.  Let the European Union get bullied by a fundamentalist country with nuclear capabilities for a while.

It is not a suprise that they are actively pursuing longer and longer range missiles.  They held military exercises a few months ago, and as the finale they launched a sounding rocket rather high.  Rumor has it that they would have launched their next-generation ballistic missile if it had been ready and certain photographs of the launch ceremony seem to show weird smoke trails from more than one launch site indicating that they had more than one missile ready to go, but of course none of the media present would question what they were told even if they had the expertise to tell the difference between a sounding rocket and a ballistic missile.

The point is that everyone knows that they are developing a number of missiles (everything from anti-ship missiles to ballistic missiles with very long range) and they are firing up enough centrifuges to enrich uranium far beyond the level required for nuclear power plants.  You do the math...

Was thinking the same thing.

Or maybe the UN should take a year of squableing to draft a strongly worded warning.  Then another year to impose weak economic sanctions that will bw widely ignored and cause the world to blame the US for Iran to not have enough child vaccinations or something.

Since there will apparently be no disarming of Iran by pre-emption or by sanctions, we shall have to rely on deterrence to prevent the mullahs, some of whom are apocalyptic and messianic, from using nuclear weapons.
