Pigs... In... SPAAAAAACE!

Did someone call Peta yet?

To be completely uncouth, Muslims are to science as Chinese are to math. Even though Iran has a President who I could only compare to as the Kirk Cameron of the Middle East, their capability is vast, and reasonability volatile.

As a side note: I'd like to see Pam Grier fight Sarah Palin.

Is "uncouth" a synonym for "wrong" where you're from? Pick any definition of the word.

I'm not saying that we should sneeze at Iranian scientific achievements, but it's a good idea to figure out where pieces of opinion like "reasonability volatile" come from.

Their President is sort of immaterial in this. I really think it's going overboard to say "look out, now they'll know where to fire missiles." Iranian mullah culture can be hard to follow when it comes to technology, space, and nuclear armament. However, I feel it's jumping the gun to let Western media spin on situations like this convince one that this means war, to borrow from Bugs Bunny.

The Economist has this to say on the subject...
