Animal Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 "What about international law? Article 110 of the U.N.'s Law of the Sea Convention -- ratified by most nations, but not by the U.S. -- enjoins naval ships from simply firing on suspected pirates. Instead, they are required first to send over a boarding party to inquire of the pirates whether they are, in fact, pirates." Is it just me here or does anyone else see the problem with the above quote??? Excuse me, are you pirates? **BLAM** No, we're the blooming Rockettes!!!!!!!
