Let them test pop a nuke, their whole country will probably explode in a fireball. Whoops.

I choked on that one, hilarious. Whoops indeed.

Really? You think it would explode at all?

The US should sell Iran the YF-23. Its the best way to reinforce balance of power.

These pics appear to me to be of a home built or very low budget "hobby" type aircraft prototype. I suppose the national leaders are being shown the craft in an attempt to obtain funding for further development and possibly for internal propoganda reasons. But in general, there is very little to be concerend with.

I'd be more concerned that the Iranians will get what they want from the Egyptians now that the two countries have more in common.

You know, if that whole theocratic Empire thing doesn't work out, the Iranian regime could probably make a bundle selling the F313 to air sim gamers. I have an upstairs bedroom that it would fit in.

I play a Texas Holdem game on my phone usually every night. Last night I got into a conversation with a very nice man from Tehran. When I was talking about the jet he said that he thinks that we might know more about it than he would, indicating their media is not forthcoming at all. When asked his view of whether Israel had a right to exist, especially concerning the remarks made by Ahmadinejad, he said of course and that the views were of the President and that they do not reflect those of most of the people. I told him there was talk of war and he could not believe it. He said the President might want war but the people did not. They had just been to war 30 years ago. I related a story of a Iranian couple that owned a general store near us when we were children and how they were constantly giving the children candy. He said he has quite a bit of family in the U.S., mostly in New York and views the country favorably.

Not really sure what this has to do with the big picture except that maybe our fight should not be against the people and just the regime if it comes.

Someone said earlier that Iran had a lot of freedom lovers. I used to know a guy that worked at Department of Defense and he was always telling me that most Iranians would love to be rid of their governing goons. Interesting.

Lastly, a bit of wisdom for the British aerospace expert quoted. Either it's a 20P ride or a 25 cent ride, not a 20 cent ride. Mixed currency metaphors.
