I can easily believe that these guys never heard of the USS Cole, and payed no attention whatsoever to what is going on in the world. I do have some curiosity how Indian fisherman end up in Dubai, although this seems consistent with my understanding of how the ultrarich Arab states attract peons of various stripes. I'd love to hear the whole story, but again, I wonder if we can even imagine how far removed the minds of these people were from the concerns that we are immersed in.
And well, Indians in Dubai are hardly to be counted as Iranians, so maybe you could use a little brushing up yourself, if you know what I mean.
Yeah. No kidding.
It was easy to go with the flow and assume that due to the current 'threats' from Iran, that this was just another 'exploration attempt'.
Assuming all the info you have given is true, I think the average person could envision how this was just ignorance gone wrong. It still doesn't remove the possibility that our enemy would be smart enough to send out some willing dupes/trained foreign agents to get the job done.
If it was due to ignorance, then it's a pity someone had to die for it.
