I guess it's ok for India since most of our tech jobs are outsourced there but not ok for N.Korea or Iran? WTF kind of foreign policy does the US have?

3. Same reason chimp ignores Saudi Arabia's culture...
yet uses it all as an excuse elsewhere to spread his "freedom"...SA women are not treated any better than Iraqi or Iranian women, the justice system is just as bad..but it's all OK cuz chimp/his family
would never go after their buddie$ in SA.

5. For those who think this is made up, here is a link.

Few in the CCM are reporting on this but FOX did a blurb this a.m. I find this incridble. Both Iran and N.Korea should do whatever it takes for their own security.

Agni III test-fired
Sunday, July 09, 2006 08:58:29 am

Earlier feat: Agni II ballistic missile
It was planned as a new year's gift to India this year, but technical glitches and political clearance delayed the launch of the much vaunted Agni III.

Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee and top defence officials visited Wheeler Island, near Balasore, in Orissa on Sunday morning and witnessed the launch of Agni III ballistic missile.

10. I also heard that some war-mongering nation tested a MM-III in June!!!!
"Meanwhile, there have been lots of launches that did not capture the attention of the media and which you may well have missed.

There was, for instance, the Minuteman III ICBM that the U.S. launched from California on June 14 carrying three test warheads across the Pacific and in the general direction of North Korea. The Russians, not to be left out, launched a RSM-54 missile from a submarine on June 30. Kazakhstan joined the space club on June 18 by putting a civilian communications satellite in orbit and South Korea announced that it was going to launch a military communications satellite on August 10 from a ship in the South Pacific. Both the U.S. and China are gearing up for further manned space launches in the near future. No doubt there was plenty of space and missile activity—the distinction between the two is blurred—elsewhere during the period; Japan and India are two obvious candidates."
