Chuckle. Yup. One might well equally say that the US's military posture,
military development effort, is of concern to the international community.

But hey.

It would prevent a Vincennes/Airbus part deux given that frankly any US
warship heading as deep into Iranian territorial waters as the Vincennes
was (but which no one mentions) will be in very real danger.

It is a very very interesting couple of developments. (A) Hormuz & (B) MIRV's.

(B) Is of particular interest (along with the solid fuel advances) wrt any
chats the Iranians might be having with the NK types.
