IRAN'S MISSILE PLAN

Iran is fast approaching a major milestone in its ballistic missile development, a group of Israeli experts has warned. The planned launch of its first satellite, the "Masbeh," in coming weeks will mark the opening salvo in what has become an intensive effort by the Islamic Republic to develop a sustained space launch capability, write Uzi Rubin, Ephraim Bashan and Gad Mayer in an October 2nd analysis for the Middle East Missiles Monitor (www.me-monitor.com). The technology, know-how and infrastructure acquired through the development of this capability, the experts predict, could also be used for other purposes - most directly, for the creation of a "strategic, global range ballistic missile force."

But Jack Straw et al see no great peril in allowing Iran to continue to develop nuclear weapons.

I however feel mere passivity is not enough--we should see to it that they have more nuclear weapons than they can handle.

Seems like Jack Straw's off shore accounts need to be investigated, seized and then given to Israel.
