#1 I'd like to see the US take a more apologetic tone here. As in: "Gee, we're sooo sorry we shot up your boat. The junior officer responsible for this unfortunate accident will be severely reprimanded. Lucky no one was killed, eh?"

#2 Maybe we could take some hostages, too.

#3 Have a B-52 fly over them out of the sun at 25 feet. I guarantee there will be no one on that boat with clean pants.
