you're saying that you believe that under the international Laws of the Sea, the Japanese would be justified in machine-gunning the hippies.

Yep. A couple of mounted .50 calibers would put an end to this nonsense once and for all. Machine gun the wheel house, then the waterline, pick up any survivors and bring 'em back to Japan for trial.

Personally though, I'm opposed to leaving any survivors at all.
