My Startup Idea: Rocket Launcher

Taking advantage of a loophole in the export laws and some creative marketing, I am pretty sure that a startup to sell USB Nuclear Powered Rocket Launchers to petty tyrants is the next big thing.*

Wish me well, I now need to learn how to say I come in peace in Persian.

I hope you've got a Delorean with a flux capacitor in it to get away, once the petty tyrant realizes the nuclear part of the system is the launcher and not the actual missiles.

I think Persians will be satisfied with a regular "Salaam 'Aleykum".

Your idea is brilliant. I have only one question: why USB?

For a project like that you MUST go with Firewire. :-)

Salaam is fine and don't worry about export laws, it can always be exported to Dubai, or China and then re-export to Iran by any of the thousands of Iranian re-export companies operating in those countries :)

George Bush might come across this post and think you are serious.
