Iranian Missile Experts Are In North Korea - Helping With Missile Launch

Have you ever noticed how the Iranians consistently show up in every corner of the world where someone is giving the finger to the United States of America? We've seen Ahmadinejad show up in Venezuela to join with Chavez in calling America the enemy, we've seen the Iranians cross the border into Iraq to show the Sadr Militia how to kill American troops, we've seen the Iranian speedboats harass U.S. naval ships in the Straits of Hormuz and now, with the U.S. condemning the planned launch of a long-range Taepodong-2 missile by the North Koreans, it has been discovered that a foreign contingent is in North Korea to assist with that missile launch....yep, it's the Iranians. Again. Here's the details from the report at Times Online:

Missile experts from Iran are in North Korea to help Pyongyang prepare for a rocket launch, according to reports.
Amid increasing global concern over the launch, which the US and its allies consider to be illegal, Japan's Sankei Shimbun newspaper claimed today that a 15-strong delegation from Tehran has been in the country advising the North Koreans since the beginning of March.
The experts include senior officials from the Iranian rocket and satellite producer Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group, the newspaper said.

I have a simple question to ask. What would the world's security look like right now if the nation of Iran did not exist? Wouldn't the world's greatest nuclear weapons threat be gone? Wouldn't two of the world's biggest and most threatening terrorist organizations, Hamas and Hezbollah, wither and die without Iranian funding and supply? Wouldn't American and coalition troops in Iraq and Afghanistan be safer? Wouldn't the nation of Israel have greater peace as the main caller of their destruction be gone? And wouldn't the odds of a North Korean missile being launched be much less?

I will make the point that the following countries would benefit greatly from an Iranian nation turned to glass: U.S.A., Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Israel, Iraq, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey and India. Now, that's quite a list, yes? I'm simply proposing that with that contingency of nations of this world realizing such a great benefit from an Iran that no longer exists, that we all work together to see that realized. It's obvious that the Iranians want war. Let's give it to them. It won't take long...my guess is two weeks. And we can all breathe a sigh of relief that they are finally gone.

Iran missile experts in North Korea 'to help with rocket launch'

Missile experts from Iran are in North Korea to help Pyongyang prepare for a rocket launch, according to reports.
Amid increasing global concern over the launch, which the US and its allies consider to be illegal, Japan's Sankei Shimbun newspaper claimed today that a 15-strong delegation from Tehran has been in the country advising the North Koreans since the beginning of March.
The experts include senior officials from the Iranian rocket and satellite producer Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group, the newspaper said.
The Iranians brought a letter from President Ahmadinejad to the North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il stressing the importance of co-operating on space technology, it added.

As tensions increase ahead of the rocket launch, Japan's Air Self-Defense Force began deploying units capable of shooting down a rocket to the northern prefectures of Akita and Iwate.
Early today, units carrying Patriot Advanced Capability-3 missiles left a base in central Japan and will arrive at the northern prefectures on Monday, according to Japan's national broadcaster NHK.
On Friday Tokyo gave its military the green light to shoot down any incoming North Korean rockets.
Pyongyang has said that it will launch a communications satellite over northern Japan between April 4 and April 8, but the US and its allies in the region believe the secretive regime is actually planning illegally to test a long-range Taepodong-2 missile that could reach North America.
Japanese media claimed that spy satellites have photographed the nose cone of a long-range North Korean rocket on its launch pad. Envoys from South Korea, Japan and the US met in Washington during the weekend to discuss counter-measures to be taken against North Korea.
The three allies have warned that a rocket launch would be in violation of a UN Security Council resolution banning the communist state from carrying out ballistic missile activities.
Pyongyang has resisted pressure to call off the launch and warned that any attempt to shoot down the rocket would be regarded as an act of war.
