Fundie terrorists don't abide by rules about international waters, if  
anything they try to take advantage of any weakly defended stretch of  
water. Small fast boats have been used in numerous attacks, recently  
Mumbai. Being a Colonel Blimp about it will only play into their  
aggressive fundie objectives, eg. obliteration of Israel. Israel is  
trying to defend its waters with blockade zones which have clearly  
marked navigation corridors for permitted shipping. You know what  
happens in America now when a plane leaves its flightpath?  
International laws are starting to change as countries try to deal  
with terrorism, piracy and smuggling. That small vessel was not  
carrying terrorists, but you only know that once you catch it and  
board it. In the meantime, it was deliberately trying to run a  
blockade. I may be the nicest guy in the world, but if I try running  
past a line of security guards protecting a checkpoint, what are they  
going to do? What would you do? What's *your* point?
