Try that with Fish and Game or the Coast Guard and let us know what happens.

Buy me a ship that can get out to International waters and we'll see.

You honestly think the bad guys should have just laid down?
Apparently you think we are fighting a knitting club.

The flotilla was attempting to engage a blockade of Gaza.

Any resaon why the ID should give in? The international waters reasoning does not hold in this case.

The US Navy and the US Coast Guard board ships in IW every single day looking for drugs.

Well I never said they were smart, but that would have been the preferred outcome. Actually proceeding to the port the Israeli Navy directed them to would have been the ideal outcome.

Personally I think the Israelis should have sunk them in the middle of the night as they were en route. Maybe that will happen to future convoys if any are attempted. The Israelis can certainly point to this incident as justification.

You may have a point,how about the next ship of scumbags gets raked with mini-guns and fragmentation shells or a few missiles before boarding?
