Russia's defense minister confirmed Monday that his country will go ahead and supply Iran with sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles, news agencies reported. snip

The United States last week called on all countries to stop all arms exports to Iran and to end all nuclear cooperation with it to put pressure on Tehran to halt uranium enrichment activities.

But Moscow insisted it would not stop a project to construct a US$800 million (€645 million) nuclear power plant in Bushehr, southern Iran.

And Nikolai Spassky, the deputy head of the Kremlin Security Council, said Russia would not end military cooperation with Iran, including the commitment to provide the country with Tor-M1 air-defense systems.

1. If the bushbots think they're going to shock and awe Iran

me thinks they've got another thing coming.

2. Wander how far we are from backing ourselves back into the

cold war with Russia and her neighbors? Then the military/industrial/media society could use that as a fear tactic so they could keep selling arms to every one in the world including our own military.
