I quess the two people who answered are Liberals who love Iran and cannot wait for them to beat the US and impose Muslim law on us

Answer 1

No doubt they are baiting us, the two rules that apply here are 1. never give the enemy what they want 2. never let your enemy pick teh battlefield. But this was an act of piracy, violation of international treaty, against a UN PEACEKEEPING OPERATION. the result is all Iranian Republican Guard craft should be blasted from the water on sight, no apologies to Iran neccesary, and that should come from teh balless UN itself (as if that would ever happen).

Answer 2

Well, something is afoot....because Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad abruptly canceled his planned trip to New York to address the U.N. Security Council. The U.N. voted to expand sanctions on Iran and gave Iran 60 more days to stop enrichment.

A strike group led by the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis recently joined a similar force in the Persian Gulf led by the carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. Furthermore, the French nuclear carrier Charles de Gaulle and its task force met up with the USS John C. Stennis last Wednesday.

U.S. and British officials said a boarding party from the frigate HMS Cornwall was seized about during a routine inspection of a merchant ship inside Iraqi territorial waters near the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway.

The seizure of two Royal Navy inflatable boats took place just outside the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab waterway, a 125-mile channel dividing Iraq from Iran. Its name means Arab Coastline in Arabic, and Iranians call it Arvandrud - Persian for Arvand River. A 1975 treaty recognized the middle of the waterway as the border.

Iranians send arms to Iraqi extremists, including sophisticated roadside bombs. This week, two commanders of an Iraqi Shiite militia told The Associated Press in Baghdad that hundreds of Iraqi Shiites had crossed into Iran for training by the elite Quds force, a branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard thought to have trained Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.
