Iranian Ship Incident
Whilst its not that huge of a deal I found it worth discussing. I wanted to know what those of you (who heard about the incident) think about the Iranian ships which provoked the US fleet in the sea off the Iranian Coast.
My P.O.V:
I support the measures which would have been taken if the Iranian ships further provoked our fleet. One needs to not look any further than the attack on the USS Cole when it comes to this. The destroyers were in International Waters, which was several miles out from Irans territorial waters. To me it seems like Iran wants to prod the beast until it bites, much like the Japanese did back in the 1930'2 and 1940's (which clearly did not end well).

Note - I do not support going to war with Iran, my country is already stuck in a quagmire situation in Iraq. However I do support shots at Iran if they step over the line. No reason for more of our boys to die.
