Thank you Capt ..

Linking a communications Satellite and a peaceful nuclear energy programme for which there is no evidence of diversion to weaponisation, to conclude Iran's capability and implied intention to hit Europe is only matched in cynicism to the absence of response to Prof MARTIN van CREVELD, Israeli Military Historian's boasting that Israel had the capability to nuke European cities (which is true). Of course both the shrieks and the silence are congruent with how Israel's ongoing genocide against Palestinians is viewed by the Western governments and their media hacks.

Jealosy

It's not a matter of jealousy per se, but rather exceptionalism. The West did not and does not want to share its technological edge with the rest of the world. It wants to keep it as an exclusive club of Westerners with the exception of Israel, China and India (who got its know-how from the soviets). But wadduyano, Iran barged in uninvited and is imposing itself on the snobby club! That's the only way to do it, by playing a submissive house pet like Egypt does, it's not gonna work! That’s why the West's reaction is one of panic and dismissal!

All due respect when it says  [..... which it feels the jealous west is trying to deny it".....]

In this sentence word jealous refers to the west and not to Iran.

At least that is what I think.

Maybe you should go and talk to some Arabs! This is IRANIAN.com. Foucault, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kafka, Deleuze, Heidegger, Voltaire, Descartes, Camus, Sartre, Joyce, Beckett and literally thousands of other authors have been translated into Persian. Iran is a single country - Spain also caters to the entire continent of Latin America! The annual Tehran book fair inside Iran is in fact one of the biggest events of the year, and people from all around the country travel to the capital to attend. In fact if you knew anything about Iran you would know that what you are saying is total gibberish. The pages of the newspapers Etemaad and Etemaad-e Melli contain articles on Derrida, Simon Critchley, Georg Lukacs, Marxist existentialism, Kant and human rights etc... and this is only in the last couple of days. Frankly, I don't see this level of discourse in the western broadsheets, they're preoccupied with Paris Hilton's latest sex tape. Last year in fact there were more translations of Kant into Farsi than any other language. Poetry and literature are integral to Persian culture in both its religious as well as secular manifestations: from Rumi to Shamlu and Hedayat.

Furthermore, there are of course multiple Islams and they have all originated in very diverse surroundings and circumstances: from the political sociology of Ibn Khaldun, to the Platonism of Ibn Sina, the Aristotelian deism of Ibn Rushd, Sufistic traditionalism of Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Popperian critical rationalism of Abdolkarim Soroush. Not to mention the myriad other varieties which have striven to comprehend the divine via the Islamic canon.

What are you are alleging, in a tone worthy of Dostoevsky's Grand Inquisitor, is not only wonderously ignorant, it's bigoted. Please educate and inform youself before spreading contorted deceits and fabrications on Iranian sites - I'm sure that Arabs will also not take kindly to your racist and culturally essentialist pseudo-insights about their culture. Have you even heard of the works of Mohammed Abdu and the Arab Nahda or Renaissance? I think not.

Its remarkable how subtly Iran is disparaged in this article. To quote the passages;

"For the Iranian government it is an important milestone along the road to reclaiming Persia's ancient claim to major power status, which it feels the jealous west is trying to deny it"

so Iran feel jealous like a somewhat irrational child but the west on the other hand is an adult - observing in a measured manner through a prism:

"From Washington, London and some other western capitals, the launch is seen primarily through the prism of Iran's nuclear project "

At least Mulla's propaganda feeds are glaringly obvious. I feel my Dai Jan Napeloon syndrome is being exacerbated.

will you please explain relevancy here.

IRI is looking for a Crusade!

""The idea that Islam is a “peaceful religion hijacked by extremists” is a dangerous fantasy’and it is now a particularly dangerous fantasy for Muslims to indulge. It is not at all clear how we should proceed in our dialogue with the Muslim world, but deluding ourselves with euphemisms is not the answer.

It now appears to be a truism in foreign policy circles that real reform in the Muslim world cannot be imposed from the outside. But it is important to recognize why this is so’it is so because the Muslim world is utterly deranged by its religious tribalism. ""

//www.hurryupharry.org/2009/02/03/qaradawi-an...

In confronting the religious literalism and ignorance of the Muslim world, we must appreciate how terrifyingly isolated Muslims have become in intellectual terms.

The problem is especially acute in the Arab world. Consider: According to the United Nations’ Arab Human Development Reports, less than 2% of Arabs have access to the Internet.

Arabs represent 5% of the world’s population and yet produce only 1% of the world’s books, most of them religious. In fact, Spain translates more books into Spanish each year than the entire Arab world has translated into Arabic since the ninth century.

Our press should report on the terrifying state of discourse in the Arab press, exposing the degree to which it is a tissue of lies, conspiracy theories and exhortations to recapture the glories of the seventh century.

All civilized nations must unite in condemnation of a theology that now threatens to destabilize much of the Earth. Muslim moderates, wherever they are, must be given every tool necessary to win a war of ideas with their coreligionists.

Otherwise, we will have to win some very terrible wars in the future. It is time we realized that the endgame for civilization is not political correctness. It is not respect for the abject religious certainties of the mob. It is reason.

Zendeh Baash Iran

Everything comes and goes in cycles, the ancient peoples understood this, civilization has risen and fallen many times before, nonetheless the soul (more than 'genes') of the 'Aryan' peoples shall live on.

Mark Fitzpatrick, a

Mark Fitzpatrick, a specialist on the Iranian nuclear programme at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said: "It's almost as if the Iranians are in league with ballistic missile defence adherents in the United States."

From a purely technical point of view, the advances represented by the satellite launch are incremental. The ballistic technology is basically the same as Iran's Shahab-3 missile, which was tested to great fanfare last year. That technology demonstrated Iran could reach Tel Aviv, Cairo or Riyadh with its missiles.

"The Iranians have shown a very rudimentary capability in a technology that requires far greater sophistication," Christopher Pang, an analyst at the Royal United Services Institute, said.

"The Israelis have rubbished that estimate..."

The Israeli's have "rubbished" nothing. The Israelis failed miserably to proved Iran is building nukes. All the Zionistas and their talking heads have done is to make a lot of noise and resort to gossips and innuendos to divert attention from their own criminal activities. By publicly pooh poohing the NIA the Israelis have managed to generate a lot of anger in the US intel community - notice the rise in the number of arrest of Israeli spies in the US over the last couple of years. They may gang up on Obama, but so far they have failed to persuade Obama to change his policy of negotiating with Iran, and with Israel's recent war crimes in the background, I don't think they will success to hijack the US foreign policy in the ME again.

The fact is Iran's nuclear program is both legal and open. If Iran's enemies are "worried" because of their "suspicions" about Iran, that's entirely THEIR problem, not Iran's.
