That's strange, the news articles I read had very nice things being said about the US by the Iranians... pity we can't seem to return the favour.

when it comes down to it, I'm sure they were all brothers on the high seas; and either side would have come to aid each other if able. We just happened to be there to help, not matter how "evil Iran is" or how ever much Obama "spends" or sounds like he's Muslim (but still no matter hard hard they try isn't).

Go to the original link and click Mid-East. for the next installment.

The only negative comments around seem to be from the Iranian revolutionary Guards Farsi language media outlet which says the Americans are over dramatising a routine maritime incident(regarding the coast guard and the fishing boat with engine trouble)

US Navy does it AGAIN!

Quote:
NBC News reported that an American guided missile-destroyer, the Dewey, rescued a sinking Iranian fishing boat Wednesday morning after it were spotted by a Navy helicopter [NBC/New York Daily News, 19 JNUARY].
