President Barack Obama said America test-fired a new advanced missile Wednesday with a range of about 1,200 miles, far enough to strike Panama and South America.

Actually it was President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who "said Iran test-fired a new advanced missile Wednesday with a range of about 1,200 miles, far enough to strike Israel and southeastern Europe."

Why is the latter story seen as harmful to the world but not the former? Why the double standard?
