The Global Range of Iran's Ballistic Missile Program - Uzi Rubin

In the article that can be reached by clicking the link below, author Uzi Rubin makes a compelling argument to support the contention that the Iranian missile program is more telling about that country's intentions than its nuclear program. He states that,"Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has stated that Islam should roll back 300 years of Western ascendancy. He was speaking in the name of Islam, not in the name of Iran. At the same time, there is talk about the greatness of Iran, with its 6,000-year-old civilization. The Iranians are trying to retrieve the old glory of the empire and at the same time become the leaders of world Islam. The development of long-range missiles is a key element in building up Iran's power to assume such a leadership position."
