I'm no expert, but it certainly seems to me that there must be SOME sort of international agreement that prohibits attacking oil tankers which are peacefully going about their business. The question is, who are the judges and jury, and (more to the point) who acts the part of policeman ?? don't ask me.... The US has tried the part several times in the past and [ maybe aside from WWII ] it hasn't received too many thanks. Personally, I think it's time to hang loose, kick back, (have a home brew ? :-) ), and let somebody else give it a shot. >>> standard disclaimer model 38b/928308-ccc : "the opinions expressed above are not necessarily those of my employer [or even myself, come the morrow :-) ]" <<< hogpd!keduh
