No! We should not blame he victims here. They were in international waters. Certainly they might have made a better decision, but /blame them/? I can't go there on this one.

Free nations have always used their navies to protect international waters and they need to step up those activities. This is not a question of the US being the international police...this is directly related to international law and US domestic interests.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
