And of course, we all know they have that Uranium enrichment thing going.
And the long-range ballistic missile thing is not insurmountable:
Iran plans to launch a communications satellite by late 2011 with no outside help, a top Iranian official said Friday, after Italy and Russia declined to put it into orbit.
The move reflected Tehran's frustration with the two countries as it tries to push ahead with an ambitious space program, which has worried world powers because the same rocket technology used to launch satellites can also be used for military purposes.
Yeah, who needs a ballistic missile defense system in Eastern Europe that can defend the eastern United States?
And more to the point, how effing stupid are our leaders to believe we're just one diplomatic breakthrough away from talking Iran out of nuclear weapons?
