Iran puts satellite into orbit

Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that the satellite, which he said had telecommunications capabilities, had reached its orbit and had made contact with ground stations, though not all of its functions were active yet. The launch was intended to be a message of peace and friendship to the world, Ahmadinejad told state television. "We need science for friendship, brotherhood and justice," he said

What do you suppose Ahmadinejad means by "justice"?

Also, if a country can launch a satellite into orbit I wonder how much more difficult it is to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile?
