You definitely have some good points to make.

In war, there is always risk and hopefully risk assessment.

What contingency plan would you have pushed in the event the missiles were bound for a temporary ally? (I assume you agree with tracking the ship and boarding it once it reached the war zone.)

If dealing with certain weapon systems such as these, which are offensive and capable of WMD use, confiscate, destroy and recompensate the market value....sorry no toys, but here's your money. 41 million is chump change compared to what they might be able to do. Even an air burst of chemicals over the sea lanes, crowded with ships would be devestating.
