Ah, okay. I didn't even consider that this might qualify as terrorism...

Hopefully the sailors are released quickly and this doesn't turn into a 2007 British Navy-type situation.

I read about it on a news side went back to subsim and looked for the thread Iran at it again or something. This thread was on page 2.

Should I write about it in that thread or should drop it. I dropped it. If some one else write about it I will make some comment. Later I saw Oberon had made a statement about the incident in the thread I mentioned in my first statement.

I didn't intend to criticize you in anyway. I just found it surprising and little bit odd that this kind of thing is being discussed in terrorism thread as:
1) This is about armed forces of two sovereign states,
2) No one is demanding ransom and,
3) No one is chopping off (or threatening to) someones' heads.

I tend to dump all Middle Eastern politics in that thread because the way things play out down there will effect the 'War on Terror'(TM) in some way or another.

I guess we could have a Middle Eastern politics thread, but it'd probably just be me posting stuff.

Yes and at the moment its challenging to find (relevant to us) Middle East politcs news not someway connected to terrorism.
