Why are the guys driving these boats
not at the bottom of the Strait of Hormuz? I cannot believe how close they let them get to that last ship.

When I first heard the story break, I knew the Iranian boats would be smaller than the US boats, but I didn't realize it would basically be Ghorab and Sameer cruising around in the family boat. They truly were lucky.
Also, the wake of the boat from which the filming takes place is huge, looks wider than the cruise boats I've been on. Seeing the film reminds me of my fantasies where I go back in time with one of these warships and take on some Athenian triremes. |

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080109/...a/iran_us_navy I cannot believe US warships let those allegedly threatening speedboats approached them either ..probably "kill everyone you meet" policy doesnot operate in every US army branches. |
I've been very sad to hear about Iran's political and economic difficulties. Inflation. Joblessness. No natural gas. High gasoline prcies.
Hope that goes better. I wouldn't worry too much, because you guys have honest, good leaders. |

The Vincennes downing of the Iranian airliner was a tragic error for which the United States officially noted regret for the loss of life and paid reparations. This has nothing to do with Revolutionary Guards playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with warships in the Strait. |

To shoot on the boats would have led Iran to claim we were started a war with them as aggressors (which is exactly what those silly little boats Iran calls a navy were trying to do). It didn't work, Iran is now embarrassed, and the best you can come up with is an incident in 1988 (which WAS appalling). |
