Warheads or Airheads?

March 31, 2006: An earthquake measuring 6.0 on the Richter scale hits the area of Doroud and Boroujerd in Lorestan province in west Iran, killing about 50 people.

The toll also includes 800 injured and massive amounts of damage across Iran. Meanwhile, nations pour aid into Iran including the United States which obviously has strained relations. Amidst the ruins and people losing their lives.. What does a nation like Iran do? Lets test missiles!

Friday, March 31st - TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran successfully test-fired a missile that can avoid radar and hit several targets simultaneously using multiple warheads, the military said Friday.

Sunday, April 2nd -TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran announced its second major new missile test within days, saying Sunday it has successfully fired a high-speed underwater missile capable of destroying huge warships and submarines.

Tuesday, April 4th - TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran said Tuesday it has tested a second new radar-avoiding missile, the latest weapon to be unveiled during war games in the Gulf that the military says are aimed at preparing the country's defenses against the United States.

Hmmm. It all comes down to priorities... almost like the whole Hurricane Katrina situation for the United States, a battle on two fronts - just doesn't win the "hearts and minds" of the people your government serves. But for Iran, a nation plagued by a history of earthquakes... if they keep this up, there will be no nation to defend.
