Atomic Iran

May 20, 1956 The United States Dropped the first hydrogen weapon from a B 52 Stratofortress. This act ushered in a new plateau of cold war danger for the world. Thirty three years later through economic and political pressure Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev brought the cold war to an end . Today Iran launched a missile that will travel 1200 miles . This Fajr -3 missile has radar evading capabilities and is capable of carrying a nuke. To what end and what implication this has for our allies and trading partners who knows. The reality of this missile launch is that it is a political statement coinciding with Netenyahus visit with our President .
The Iranian Missile launch ups the stakes in the middle east but should the US get involved?
What benefit does US involvement have for the Citizens of the United States. I say it is time for the US to let the Middle East solve their own problems.
