How ironic!
First, a U.S. Ballistic Missile gets it's first Succesfull launch in Cape canaveral... and then... News from the ARAB world (with those oh so ballistic minarets in the background! Oh! and in the middle, there's good ole Werner Von Braun, the Nazi missile genius, now great chum of the Americans, and cozily salaried by the US govt.
Boy,
