Iran yesterday defiantly showed off six of its new ballistic missiles daubed with anti-US and anti-Israel slogans in a move sure to reinforce international concern over the nature of its nuclear programme.
Concern? What, us worry? Theyâre the Super-Mullahs (and Toyota Distributors) for about half of the Religion of Peaceâ¢!!! Why should we worry?
At the climax of a military parade marking the outbreak of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, the enormous Shehab-3 missiles were rolled out painted with the messages, "We will crush America under our feetâ and "Israel must be wiped off the map."
Oops!
"Ahmad! Those are the wrong missiles! Theyâre supposed to say "Peace on Earth, inshâallah!"
Iran later announced that it would scale down cooperation with the UNâs International Atomic Energy Agency. Ali Akbar Salehim, Tehranâs envoy to the IAEA, said on state television that Iran had been allowing the agency more oversight than required under the nuclear nonproliferation treaty "to show our goodwill and transparency."
Yep. Goodwill. And transparency. Canât forget how transparent they are - they remind us almost everyday. I, for one, deeply appreciate it...
