There's no meaningful way to oppose this diplomatically. I can't blame Iran for using this as a way to develop the basis for ICBMs without actually producing or testing any weapons.

Makes me wonder why so many countries still use the missile first approach with all the diplomatic fallout that entails.

So, I assume this means space flight can be achieved without using equations developed by a Jew?

A third world country investing in space exploration? Iran's priorities are ... peculiar to say the least!

However I keep on using semicolons instead of apostrophes because I never learnt to touch type. 1. Teach yourself. I personally know how to touch type with 95%+ accuracy on two entirely different keyboard layouts, and both I basically taught myself (the first, qwerty, was while needing to write a paper during lunch for 5th period english in 10th grade... god was I lazy back then). It's not hard to learn, if it takes you >2 hours to get the basics down you are a slow learner.

2. Apostrophes are perfectly important... overused perhaps, but so are commas, and most other, grammatical tools.

Though to be honest I still always screw up on the semicolons. No idea why, it is my most common mistake and has been for the past 3 years or so, atleast from mid-2004

What the hell. People are more interested in this typing instruction. I'd change the title, if I could.

Why squash them? they'll probably get the calculations wrong and the space station will fall from the sky and land on Tehran.
