A good blog concerning merchant marines
 

This from: http://www.maritimelinks.net/


England was once THE greatest military power in the world, and they
certainly have the capabilities to fight a large scale conflict.
However, watching the news and seeing the capture of British sailors by
the Iranians and the lack of response from the English government, you
really have to wonder what has happened to this country. The leaders in
the British Isles have done nothing, planned nothing- when they could
destroy half of Iran with the push of a few buttons. Has the socialist
phony Tony Blair totally lost his balls? How can he even call himself a
man? The president of Iran should have a tactical nuke dropped on his
home at night- yet Blair does nothing. This will only embolden the
nutcases in the Middle East.

Now Iran is negotiating the release of their prisoners being held in the
U.K. for the British sailors. Will they negotiate with the terrorist
lunatics?

What does this have to do with the Merchant Marine you might think?
Well, historically the strength of a nation's Navy is generally a
measure of that nation's power. Navies were created to safeguard our
interests abroad. This includes merchant fleets and it affects us
greatly. If the Brits are neglecting their Navy personnel what will
happen when the Iranians capture merchant vessels?

We have another Hitler emerging and no one wants to say it. Everyone is
being politically correct so that we don't offend the Muslims. Our
reaction should be stronger- the west should lash out and show these
jackals what we can do. This goes for England and the U.S. because
America must defend its allies as well.

So when your merchant vessel is captured- thank your government for
strengthening the resolve of our bitter enemies- the evil rotten
dictators in the desert. So write your parliament (or congressmen) and
tell them to stand up to these schoolyard bullies. I say nuke them and
be done with it. Between the U.S. and U.K. we should be able to get rid
of this threat- U.N. rules be damned.

End of blog.


My comments. How about pleasure craft? Are they next on the hostage
list?
