Taking a cue from every other cock swinging nation on Earth, Iran’s aerospace research center shot a payload carrying rocket into space yesterday. Proving that radical Islamic dictatorships still know how to party like it’s 1967.

“Britain’s former ambassador to Iran, Sir Richard Dalton, told the BBC that, if confirmed, such a move could destabilize the Middle East: “It is a matter of concern. Iran’s potential nuclear military programme, combined with an advanced missile capability, would destabilize the region, and of course if there were a bomb that could be placed on the end of this missile, it would in breach of Iran’s obligations under the non-proliferation treaty.”

In all honesty it seems as though the Brits are overreacting. Who says the Iranians have malicious intent? Think about it, Richard Branson shot a rocket into space and they gave him a million dollars. Space racism or not, at least the price is right. Four goats and suckled virgin per ride … Allah Akbar!!!
